Temo Matiu set for debut as France name their team to face England
- 1386
The French coaching staff have announced the lineup for the French XV that will face England. There are a few changes, including Joshua Brennan's first appearance in the 2026 Six Nations Championship and Temo Matiu's first cap for France.
Les Bleus' procession to back-to-back titles was derailed in remarkable fashion in round three by a Scottish blitz, making Super Saturday a three-horse race. However, they will be wary of a wounded England who, while enduring an unexpected slump in this year's Championship, were also the only side to beat France in last year's otherwise victorious edition of the tournament.
