The “crunch” scheduled for March 16 in Lyon (9 p.m.) will not lack crunch!
It will see a French team eager to return to victory in front of their home crowd and a vengeful England, a year after being largely beaten at home (10-53) by the Blues.
French coach Fabien Galthié has chosen to renew the same team as the one which won last weekend in Wales (45-24).
He hopes, like his players, to be able to offer a victory to the French public who saw the Blues lose in Marseille against Ireland (17-38) and have a disappointing draw in Lille against Italy (13-13) .

This last day will open with the meeting, in Cardiff, between Scotland and Wales, who will strive to avoid the infamous "wooden spoon", synonymous with five defeats in as many matches.
Deprived of a Grand Slam this year by England, Ireland can console itself in front of its public against Scotland.
Two bonus points are enough for him against XV du Chardon to win the 2024 edition of the Six Nations Tournament.
