Mignot straight bats my question as to whether improvements in the clarity and organisation of the French club system are needed to close the gap to England, given how beneficial Premiership Women's Rugby has been to the Red Roses.

She says the players arrive fit and ready to play for France.

England have conceded one penalty in that first half. Incredible really. (HT Nick Heath )

Talk of hitting a sellout at the Stade Chaban Delmas. Likely around 28,000+.

Grand Slam Guinness Women's Six Nations decider stat attack:

Meg Jones has beaten 19 defenders in 237 mins, about 1 every 12.5 minutes.

Ellie Kildunne is on 27 beaten in 320 mins, about 1 every 11.9 minutes.

Potent threats.

Here’s a Sage UK smartball stat that the French might be wise to remember should England’s indiscipline continue.

• Lina Queyroi has the longest goal kick of this year’s Championship – 40.2m.

Ha. Just been reminded it's four years to the day since my #LifeCommentary clips were played out on my favourite TV show Have I Got News For You.

Mad / great days.

France team is out. 7s stars Grisez and Jacquet kept in the 23 after their #GW6N 2024 bows last week.

Hermet starts after benching the last two. Expect some Sexton-esque fly-half loops from Queyroi.

Vernier always superb. Suspect Konde could struggle v Meg Jones. Who wouldn't?

Delighted to share news that I’ll be heading to Rome for the IGR Bingham Cup and providing commentary on finals day. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🎙️

Watched Eng v Ire again. 76th minute, Aldcroft is sprinting and stepping.

Just not sure France have enough similar animals to cope.

That said, it just clicked for Eng on Sat. Like a good cup of tea, you dunno why but it just banged.

Replicating it ain't easy, France will hope.

Wow. The FA have nabbed themselves an incredible appointment here.

'Daisy' has helped the RFU's finances through a turbulent time whilst no doubt ensuring sufficient beans on the counter to support the women's game.

Good luck Sue Day! 👏🏼👏🏼

A quite perfectly Joe Marler message of support for RWC winning coach Gary Street.

There are still a few tickets left to come join us for a fun quiz night at the Cabbage Patch.

Some incredible raffle prizes on the night too!

Today marks 30 years since England Rugby's first Rugby World Cup win in 1994.

Highly recommend Sara Orchard's podcast chat with Giselle Mather and Gill Burns to take you right back there.

Amazing stories. Incredible women.

Great to catch up with Alastair Eykyn and take Rugby on TNT Sports through our processes at Twickenham this week. Catch it on Sunday’s Premiership Rugby Rugby Review on Rugby on TNT Sports 📺

Horses running loose through London. Set them all free!

Mind you, Uber would only round them up as a new “organic option”.

Today marks 30 years since Karen Almond lifted the World Cup trophy for England 🙌🌎🏆

A massive achievement back in the amateur days of self-funding, sacrifice and commonplace sexism

How does France Rugby beat England Rugby in Bordeaux this Saturday?
