Failing to have shone during this 2024 Tournament, the XV of France could reassure themselves against England this Saturday evening. By having regained the offensive animation against Wales (24-45) which had made them a winning machine before the World Cup, the Blues have once again instilled this enthusiasm around their game .

The English, also gloomy at the start of the Tournament, put in a great performance against Ireland last weekend (23-22) and arrived in Lyon pumped up.&nbsp ;

This crunch between two teams who are finding their game again promises to be crunchy with second place in the Tournament behind Ireland, winner of its confrontation with Ireland, at stake. Scotland this afternoon (17-13) and therefore of this edition.

For this meeting, Fabien Gathié and his staff relied on the same players who started the match at the Principality Stadium against Wales.
