England v France: TV details & match stats

Round Two
Sunday, February 10
3pm, BBC1 & Virgin One (RoI)
Twickenham

England go into round two with a bonus-point away win under their belts and are 12-point favourites against a France side who have won just once in nine Six Nations visits to Twickenham.

Les Bleus impressed in the first half against Wales in their opener, as their powerful pack set up plenty of quick ball and their backs played with tempo and ambition despite poor conditions.

Yet they - almost literally - threw it away in the second half, blowing a 16-0 half-time lead to lose 24-19.

England have covered the handicap in only three of their home meetings with France in the tournament, and only once in their last six spring outings at Twickenham.
