This is going to be a very interesting game, both teams under new regimes. Not been impressed by France. England impressed me before the Wales game, I fancy England to win, made no changes, consistency is good. France have changed their half backs and their #8, might work for them, might not. As always with France, you never know. Hoping for an England win.
As for Wales, good to see us able to field our Lions front row for the first time in 3 years or so. Also good to see Charteris back on the bench, was a key part of the World Cup team, won more line outs and he makes a lot of tackles. Will be interesting to see how Tipuric does in Warburton's absence, one of my favourite players at the Ospreys. Unlucky to have Warburton in his way.
