Hmmm.... well, I wouldn't start down the 'revenge' route as that creates hotheads and players lose focus. A bit naive from a professional coach really as that should not be on anybodies mind. If France just play the way they have been playing and treat this as just another game then they should win comfortably. Stick to their game plan and do what they have been doing and England are in trouble big time. Come out with mad eyes and revenge revenge revenge surging through their veins and the French can very easily lose the plot, suffer a couple of yellow cards and it all goes horribly wrong. Unfortunately then can still have a bad day and let's be honest they usually have one or even two in the six nations. Have they had it yet? Er,,,no, they haven't. If the French crowd get on their back then the French shrink into their shell. Anything can happen then.

Still, it seems as if this is a different French outfit who have finally got their act together. Livremont has done a very good job in fairness. Let's hope they DON'T listen to Dave Ellis as that is just idiotic. Let the French play with the sun on their back and no stupid mind games. If they relax and do their thing then it's all over with the Grand Slam in the bag.
