THE PREDICTION
This game could go some way to determining which side wins the Six Nations with both hoping Ireland slip up in their final two matches. England and France will both be hoping to pounce with the former due to face the Irish in the final game. This will be an intriguing clash with both teams capable of prevailing but all eyes will be on England’s #10 Marcus Smith who has been named in place of skipper Owen Farrell. That could prove to be a masterstroke from Steve Borthwick but this French side will be tough to beat and they are the slight preference here.
