England vs France Six Nations 2023 live stream: Preview
England take on France at Twickenham, looking to extend an 18-year unbeaten home record against Les Blues and keep alive their hopes of winning this year's Six Nations.
Last year's Six Nations clash between these two sides saw England crash to a 25-13 defeat in Paris, but Saturday's match-up looks likely to be a tighter affair.
Despite a demoralising opening match defeat to Scotland, wins over Italy and Wales mean the title is still in Steve Borthwick's side's hands - there's just the small matter of beating Fabien Galthie's defending champs today and following that up with a win on the final match week against Grand Slam chasing Ireland.
France lost to the Boys In Green in Dublin in their Round 2 encounter, a result which likely means they'll need a bonus point victory today over England to stay 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 starting at outhalf and Ellis Genge captaining the side for the first time.
The visitors will meanwhile be without flanker Anthony Jelonch after he sustained a knee injury against Scotland last time out.
England vs France kicks off at 4.45pm GMT / 11.45am EST today, Saturday 25th February, at Twickenham. Make sure you know how to watch a England vs France Six Nations 2023 live stream.
