France vs England Predictions - France backed against much-improved England

France have won their last two games against England. Last season France ran riot at Twickenham, winning the match 53-10.

France have been inconsistent throughout this Six Nations campaign after going into the tournament as favourites. It all began poorly when they suffered a heavy defeat at home to Ireland.

While the French bounced back to beat Scotland 20-16 in round two, they were poor in round three where they drew 13-all at home against Italy.

Last week, France were back to their best, at least in the second half, as they saw off Wales 45-24 at the Principality Stadium. While the French should be good enough to win at home, their recent performances have put some doubt in my mind.

France will not want to drop this game at home so while the title race is all but over, they will not risk it by resting too many players.

England are still in a rebuilding phase despite their impressive Rugby World Cup run last year. They have struggled at times in the Six Nations but have also produced the goods at times.

In round one, England struggled past Italy by three points in Rome before beating Wales by two points at home. They then lost 30-21 to Scotland at Murrayfield.

Last week everyone expected Ireland to seal the title at Twickenham but England produced probably their best performance of the last two years. They won the game 23-22.

Steve Borthwick will want to keep the continuity going with his squad and they can still win the title should they win and Scotland to them a favour. However, they will know their chances before kick off.
