The biggest surprise in a rejigged England line-up was the selection of George Furbank, last seen playing as an emergency stand-in fly-half against Tonga in November, at full-back.

Freddie Steward switches to the wing in an apparent attempt to win an aerial battle with the French back three.

Elsewhere there are four other changes. Scrum-half Ben Youngs starts with Harry Randall moving to the bench.

Prop Will Stuart replaces Kyle Sinckler who is on the bench, lock Nick Isiekwe is recalled with Charlie Ewels banned and flanker Sam Underhill replaces the injured Tom Curry.

England:15-Furbank; 14-Steward, 13-Marchant, 12-Slade, 11-Nowell; 10-Smith, 9-Youngs; 1-Genge, 2-George, 3-Stuart, 4-Itoje, 5-Isiekwe, 6-Lawes (capt), 7-Underhill, 8-Simmonds.

Replacements:16-Dolly, 17-Marler, 18-Sinckler, 19-Chessum, 20-Dombrandt, 21-Randall, 22-Ford, 23-Daly.
