England vs France Six Nations 2023 live stream: Preview
England take on France at Twickenham, looking to break an 18-year unbeaten home record against Les Blues and keep their hopes alive to win this year’s Six Nations.
Last year’s Six Nations battle between these two sides saw England crash to a 25-13 defeat in Paris, but Saturday’s game looks likely to be a tighter affair.
Despite a demoralizing opening game defeat to Scotland, wins over Italy and Wales mean the title is still in Steve Borthwick’s hands – there’s only a small matter of beating Fabien Galthie’s defending champions today and following that up with a win in the last match week against Grand Slam chasing Ireland.
France lost to the Boys In Green in Dublin in their Round 2 encounter, a result that likely means they need a bonus point win over England today to keep in touch with the Irish.
The big team news for England is that Owen Farrell has been dropped for the first time since 2015, with rejuvenated Harlequins star Marcus Smith coming in from the second half and Ellis Genge captaining for the first time.
The visitors, meanwhile, will have to do without flanker Anthony Jelonch after he suffered a knee injury in the previous time-out against Scotland.
England vs France kicks off today at 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am EST, Saturday 25 February, at Twickenham. Make sure you know how to watch a live stream of the Six Nations 2023 between England and France.
