Summary
The Smiths both start as Steve Borthwick tinkers with his England team for the visit of France this weekend. How will this affect England's gameplan? What happens if they lose to a Tier 1 nation for a record eighth game in a row? Danny and Chris look ahead to Le Crunch at Twickenham where two years ago France put 50 points on England. You will hear from fly-half Fin Smith on the pod, who has vowed to get their attack flowing and tells Sara about his relationship with Marcus Smith and George Ford. We also hear from Warren Gatland ahead of their clash with Italy in Rome.
