France vs England Predictions, Six Nations Betting Tips, Odds & Bet Builder
This was supposed to be a Grand Slam decider a few weeks ago, but England's collapse in this Six Nations means Scott Borthwick could well be taking charge of his final game at the helm.
A defeat in Paris would see England record their worst-ever Six Nations result having gone into the tournament as second favourites behind France, who themselves were upset last weekend in Edinburgh.
The title is still very much theirs to win this weekend, but they will have half an eye on Scotland's trip to Ireland earlier in the day to know exactly what is needed, with the two sides level on points at the start of the weekend.
The hosts are massive favourites heading into the game, so we've picked out three betting tips which hopefully offer some value.

France vs England Tips
Take a look at our rugby tips for Saturday's game, featuring the latest odds and the best free bets offers available.
Tip 1: France (-16 points)
Throughout this tournament, I've expected England to bounce back from disappointment and get back on track.
After all, the statistics suggest their campaign has been a bit of an anomaly. The visits the opposition's 22 compared to the points return has been abysmal, and that's something you would expect to level out over the course of a tournament, but it hasn't.
And with pretty significant disciplinary issues - they have been reduced to 13 men twice in the last three games, and have amassed a total of 108 minutes in the sin bin - it's very hard to pick out any reasons to be optimistic ahead of a trip to Paris.
Once upon a time, you might have expected France to wilt under the expectation and the temperaments to fail them, but we can't make that argument anymore.
There are all sorts of statistics we can pull out about England; Borthwick averages the most amount of points conceded as any England head coach, they have committed the most handling errors in the opposition 22, the second most cards in a campaign ever, but there is one that sticks out as a major red flag this week.
England have missed 18 tackles in the wide channels leading to breaks/tries in the tournament. It has been pretty obvious in their three defeats that teams are targeting them out wide, and with France's threat out there, it spells danger and I think they should rack up a pretty comfortable win here.
Tip 2: Louis Bielle-Biarrey to score two or more
It is quite hard work trying to find good value in this game, such is the gap between the two sides heading into it.
But Bielle-Biarrey has scored in nine successive Six Nations games. He's only 22 and with 14 Six Nations tries, is already eyeing up Brian O'Driscoll's record of 26 and he will be licking his lips at the prospect of the England defence on Saturday.
It's almost a case of when, not if, he will score, and with England's specific weaknesses, he will be the last man they want to face this weekend.
Tip 3: Darcy Graham to score a try, Louis Bielle-Biarrey to score a try & Yoram Moefana to score a try
I'm piling in on the French backs to make hay against England this weekend, with England's weaknesses in defending out wide clear for all to see.
Bielle-Biarrey is almost a guarantee at this stage to score at least one, while Antoine Dupont, with the support lines he runs, will be a huge threat to England.
The two of them crossed last week against Scotland as you'd expect, while our third player, Piere-Louis Barassi, also crossed in the closing minutes.
He gets a start at 13 this weekend and will be hoping to put in a performance that really establishes himself as a big player in the France midfield, and he should get his opportunities to run at an uncertain England backline and exploit those wide channels.
