Minute-by-minute report: It’s winner-takes-all for the Women’s Six Nations title in France. Join Alex Reid for the latest

After resting a few of their aces against Wales, France are playing with a full pack – as you would expect. Lineup changes include the return of Madoussou Fall at lock and Gaëlle Hermet, the former captain, at flanker. One late swap: Joanna Grisez is out, replaced on the wing by Anne-Cécile Ciofani. That’s a blow: Grisez scored two tries against the Welsh last time out. Danger players include the powerhouse Gabrielle Vernier and her fellow centre Nassira Konde.

The No 8 Romane Ménager – whose twin sister, Marine, starts on the wing – is another physical threat, while fly-half Lina Queyroi offers silkier skills. England are aiming for a 29th successive Women’s Six Nations victory. The last side to beat them in this competition? France at home in 2018, naturally. This is the team looking to repeat that trick.
