Imagine being the 10 with that lot outside you! Suggest box kicking wont be on the agenda.

The biggest disappointment about this tournament, for me, has been not seeing Fiji involved. At least we'll get a glimmer at the end.

Forget arguing about whether Italy or Georgia should be in the 6 nations, get Fiji in!

As expected, a strong side with the aim of winning the competition

[JP14]

French side may be 3rd string but still some decent players in there, hoping they make a game out of it!

[Robespierre]

Here's the French team for Saturday, which is more or less as predicted.

15. Dulin ; 14. Raka, 13. Mefana, 12. Danty, 11. Villière ; 10. Jalibert, 9. Couilloud (cap.) ; 7. Jelonch, 8. Tolofua, 6. Woki ; 5. Pesenti, 4. Geraci ; 3. Aldegheri, 2. Bourgarit, 1. Kolingar

Remplaçants : 16. Mauvaka, 17. Neti, 18. Atonio, 19 .Ducat, 20. Macalou, 21. Bézy, 22. Carbonel, 23. Barassi

I would imagine that with this side, it won't take much to motivate them, a)they're playing England, and b), they're playing to make the 6N squad.
England will understandably be favourites but may well be pushed all the way, and a French victory would make Eddie think again!

It's easy to forget that the English were deemed considerable favourites before le Crunch back in the Six Nations...

Ahh, yes! And we all know what happened!

Can't see anything but a win for England but in a two horse race......

The conditions are forecast to be dry and not a lot of wind so we should be able to expect a good game with lots of open play
