France won this tournament last year, losing just one match away to England by a single point. They have both England and Ireland at home this year and are rightly favourites for this tournament. England are on an 11-game unbeaten run and should push them close, but home advantage should see France edge this year's tournament. For France, Dupont is back. They lost just one of 67 lineouts in last year's tournament and scored 30 tries. Though they have a few changes to the usual squad, by the time England come calling the Blues will have sorted those out and look the team to beat.
