England will hope to make a flying start to their Six Nations campaign but face stern opposition at the Stade de France.

Eddie Jones’ men impressed during last year’s Rugby World Cup but fell against South Africa at the final hurdle.

Jones has rallied the troops and England enter the Six Nations as heavy favourites to emerge victorious.

However, many are tipping France for a strong showing in the tournament following an uplifting 2019.

Coach Fabian Galthie has brought Shaun Edwards into the fold as defence coach in a bid to build on their World Cup form.

France were on the verge of the semi-finals last year, though Sebastien Vahaamahina’s infamous elbow incident and subsequent red card effectively dashed their hopes.

They are a team on the up, and England must be firing on all cylinders from the first whistle if they are to avoid an early bump in the road.
