England take on France at HBF Park in Perth on Saturday 24 October, with kick-off at 7:35pm NZDT. Here’s our England vs France prediction and the tips we’re backing at Betcha.
The scoreboard doesn’t flatter a compelling English performance in Round 1 v Samoa. They dominated proceedings for most of the contest and finished on top in a number of key statistical markers (run metres, linebreaks, offloads) but struggled to turn field position into points.
All respect to the French, but this presents a training run opportunity for the English attack to work through the gears. A little confidence can go a long way and I like England to play themselves into some attacking form here.
George Williams and Harry Smith are both a threat with the boot inside-twenty and their backrowers or centres can be the beneficiaries here.
