England v France Six Nations 2021 match: Kick off time, TV channel, live stream and latest team news
Check out how to watch England v France live on TV this week, plus the latest team news, predictions and odds.
England's Six Nations tournament could be about to take a turn from bad to worse as they go up against France in Round 4.
Eddie Jones' men have endured a miserable campaign so far following defeats to Scotland and Wales.
Hopes of retaining the title are all-but blown but there is pride on the line, with a fifth-place finish seemingly unfathomable for a side that won last year's tournament and Autumn Nations Cup.
France represent a huge threat for England as they triumphed in both of their matches so far against Italy and Ireland.
Their third round clash was postponed due to a COVID outbreak among the squad, but once rescheduled, it will be crucial if they are to mount a surge to win the trophy.

England v France prediction
France have not tasted victory at Twickenham since 2005 but this is, of course, a year for ending barren spells, as Scotland can attest to.
Home advantage is a thing of the past in the COVID world, meaning this clash will boil down to the men squaring up on either side of the white lines.
Expect a fiery clash between a wounded England and a France side who know that a victory would put them on the rails to catching Wales in the Grand Slam hunt.
