England welcome France to Twickenham this evening as they look to bounce back after an opening weekend defeat in the Six Nations.

Despite leading at half-time, the Red Roses fell to a 27-22 defeat to Ireland – their sixth loss in seven matches.

Things won’t get any easier today however as they take on tournament favourites France who demolished Wales 43-0 in their opening game.

Captain Antoine Dupont will again lead the charge after recording three try assists in under an hour against the Welsh.

Steve Borthwick knows this is a must-win game if England want to keep alive hopes of a first Six Nations title since 2020 and has made three changes to the side that lost in Dublin

Kick-off at Twickenham is at 4.45pm and you can follow all the action with our live blog:
