The 2024 Six Nations has been a scrappy affair for England, with a narrow victory over a rejuvenated Italy in round one, and another close call with a poor Wales in round two. The third round saw the Red Rose men suffer their only loss so far, coming up short against Scotland. Last week’s result looked more promising as the side easily matched Ireland, with a Marcus Smith drop goal giving them the win in the closing seconds of the game, and keeping their tournament hopes alive in the process.
It’s been a similar affair for France, whose best hope by the time the dust settles this Saturday is a third place finish. An authoritative defeat to Ireland in the first round was followed by a cagey victory over Scotland in round two and a low scoring draw with Italy in round three. A convincing win over Wales last week, though, should give France some momentum heading into their home clash with England in Lyon.
Here's how the sides line up:
France: 15-Barre, 14-Penaud, 13-Fickou, 12-Depoortere, 11-Bielle-Biarrey; 10-Ramos, 9-Le Garrec; 1-Baille, 2-Marchand, 3-Atonio, 4-Flament, 5-Meafou, 6-Cros, 7-Ollivon, 8-Alldritt (capt).
Replacements: 16-Mauvaka, 17-S. Taofifenua, 18-Colombe, 19-R. Taofifenua, 20-Roumat, 21-Boudehent, 22-Lucu, 23-Moefana.
England: 15-Furbank, 14-Daly, 13-Slade, 12-Lawrence, 11-Freeman; 10-Ford, 9-Care; 1-Genge, 2- George (capt), 3-Cole, 4-Itoje, 5-Martin, 6-Chessum, 7-Underhill, 8-Earl.
Replacements: 16-Dan, 17-Marler, 18-Stuart, 19-Dombrandt, 20-, 21-Care, 22-Smith, 23-Tuilagi.

Watch France vs England from anywhere
Away from the U.K. at the moment and blocked from watching the rugby on ITVX?
You can still watch France vs England live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:
It's really very easy to use a VPN to watch live sport when overseas:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. We think NordVPN is among the best you can get.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. So if you're a U.K. citizen abroad, for example, choose a server location based in the U.K.

Can England still win the Six Nations?
Ireland could theoretically lose their game against Scotland on Saturday and still go home with the trophy, however, a tournament win for England isn't impossible. If Ireland were to lose, and do so without earning a bonus point, an England win with a bonus point would see them crowned 2024 Six Nations champions. However, if Ireland did earn a bonus point in defeat, England would need to win with not only the bonus point, but overturn a almighty 79-point difference. A win for the men in green would seal the deal before things even kick off in Lyon.
