World Cup runners-up England begin their pursuit of a first Six Nations title since 2017 with a mouthwatering away trip to old adversaries France.
Eddie Jonesβs England side beat Les Bleus 44-8 at Twickenham last season but have lost three of their last four visits to Paris. A trip to the Stade de France β for a fixture affectionately known as βLe Crunchβ β looks set to test Englandβs credentials from the off.
France, who were knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage by Wales, are playing under new head coach Fabien Galthie for the first time.
John Inverdale hosts the coverage with expert analysis provided by Martin Johnson, Jeremy Guscott and Thomas Castaignede, while Eddie Butler, Brian Moore and Paul OβConnell provide the commentary.
