There’s no Mako Vunipola for England who has a leg injury which means Ellis Genge will start in the front row:
England: Daly; Watson, Slade, Farrell (Capt.), May; Ford, Youngs; Genge, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Launchbury, Curry, Underhill, B Vunipola. Replacement: Cowan-Dickie, Marler, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Robson, Malins, Marchant.
As mentioned earlier, in terms of choice, given the agreement between the federation and the clubs, France is widespread. The very dangerous striker Alivereti Raka is one of six changes from last week’s win against Italy and plays on the wing. The back row of Toulouse, Selevasio Tolofua is in 8th place.
France: Dulin; Raka, Moefana, Danty, Villière; Jalibert, Couilloud; Kolingar, Bourgarit, Aldegheri, Geraci, Pesenti, Woki, Jelonch, Tofofua. Replacement: Mauvaka, Neti, Atonio, Dukat, Macalou, Bezy, Carbonel, Barassi.
Referee: Andrew Brace (Ireland)
