England's Six Nations preview vs France

England sit second in the Six Nations table on 12 points as Ireland retain the top spot with 16. This weekend's opponents, France, are fourth with 11 points following their win over Wales on Sunday afternoon.   

Elliot Daly comes in to start on the left wing, with Tommy Freeman shifted across to the right, after the impressive Feyi-Waboso self-diagnosed concussion symptoms after England's superb 23-22 victory over Ireland at Twickenham last week. 

Ford has held off the challenge of Marcus Smith to retain the fly-half duties for the climax to the tournament. 

England can still win the Six Nations title if they beat France with a bonus point and Ireland fail to collect a point against Scotland. 

France also retains faint title hopes, but they must win with the bonus point and overturn their 76-point deficit on points difference over Ireland, who must also finish empty handed. 

England team to play France: 

Forwards: 1 Ellis Genge, 2 Jamie George (Captain), 3 Dan Cole, 4 Maro Itoje, 5 George Martin, 6 Ollie Chessum, 7 Sam Underhill, 8 Ben Earl 

Backs: 9 Alex Mitchell, 10 George Ford, 11 Elliot Daly, 12 Ollie Lawrence, 13 Henry Slade, 14 Tommy Freeman, 15 George Furbank
