France vs England | Six Nations rugby | Stade de France | 4:45pm

England are aiming to bounce back from only their second defeat under Eddie Jones when they travel to Paris to face France this afternoon.

The Red Rose were beaten 25-13 last month to end their hopes of a second Grand Slam in three years, but a historic third straight Six Nations title remains possible.

Jones has dropped vice-captain Mike Brown and moved Anthony Watson off the wing for the trip to Paris. Ben Te’o takes over from Jonathan Joseph at outside centre and Jonny May switches wings, allowing Elliot Daly to come back in on the left flank.

The England head coach will hope the changes prompt a response from his side, who will be led on the field by Owen Farrell following Dylan Hartley's calf injury.
