It doesn’t get much better than England vs France in a must-win game for both teams, and a pair of major personnel changes have cranked the intrigue levels up to 11. Steve Borthwick has dropped skipper Owen Farrell for Marcus Smith, while Fabien Galthié finally has one of his top generals, Jonathan Danty, back at inside centre.
Coming into this weekend, neither England nor France are front-runners for Six Nations glory, but neither of them can be written off yet either. Whoever comes out on top at Twickenham will be firmly in the mix next weekend – whisper it, but an England victory might even set up a championship decider in Dublin next Saturday.
It’s a prospect that most England fans couldn’t have envisaged at the start of the tournament, but even so, Borthwick has decided that the time is right to hit the big red button. Despite not even making the squad two weeks ago, Smith starts at fly-half in place of Farrell in the only change to the England team that beat Wales last time out.
It’s the selection dilemma that has hung over the team for months, with Smith seen by many as the man to inject some life into England’s spartan attack. Ellis Genge takes the captain’s armband.
France, who played their way back into contention by denting Scotland’s hopes two weeks ago, are without the suspended Mohamed Haouas and Anthony Jelonch, but the long-awaited return of Danty could be huge. The Stade Rochelais man was a key cog in the Les Bleus’ Grand Slam-winning machine a year ago, and there’s no doubt that they’ve missed him over the course of the current championship.
