Can struggling England ruin France’s Saturday night party in Paris?
Watch France v England as two giants of world rugby bring the 2026 Men’s Six Nations to an epic close.

France’s defeat to Scotland last weekend dashed their chances of a clean sweep, but they’re still favourites to claim a second successive title. England, however, come into the game having lost on their three previous outings, and need a first victory in Paris since 2016 if they’re going to avoid their worst ever Six Nations campaign.
