Here they come! Both sides file out past the trophy for this Grand Slam decider.

I wouldn't talk in the last few minutes before a game, I was just thinking about making a big tackle or a big pass. You get the chance to win the mental battle in the tunnel.

Injured full-back Ellie Kildunne is pitch-side but not in any England gear.

She may not be captain but the world player of the year doesn't seem to be planning a John Terry, if England lift the trophy.

Could have some kit in the changing room, though...

The women's World Cup starts in Sunderland on 22 August when England take on the USA.

Will they win at home this summer?

England coach John Mitchell: "I had five positions that were contentious but it came down to who is the most consistent in their skillset.

"It is pretty certain who is going to be around for the World Cup, and I have to make the hard decisions."

I was searching for away fans and bumped into the parents of replacement France lock Kiara Zago, 19.

My Northern Irish accent is hard enough to understand for England natives, but we did have a nice chat on France's chances.

Les Bleues last beat England when they won the Six Nations title in 2018.

"The Red Roses are a great team and it is going to be very difficult for us," Zago's mother said.

"In the past France were the best in the Six Nations but now it is England.

"Despite that, I think we are going to win 38-34."

The extended family also travelled for this one!

The definition of insanity is the French attack, they do the same thing year on year and expect a different result.

They put some great rugby together and then are just sloppy and it falls down. It's such hugh risk rugby.

Twickenham is positively bustling.

I've spotted former England captain Marlie Packer warming up again as a non-playing reserve.

She has been in that role now three times this championship, featuring twice on the pitch against Italy and Scotland.

Not the year to be missing out on matchday squads, or is it all part of John Mitchell's World Cup plan?

The gap between the sides has become wider as France have been unsettled and concentrated on sevens. But they are a team with nothing to lose.

France have made two changes in their back row as open-side flanker Lea Champon comes in for a first start this championship and Charlotte Escudero returns at blind-side flanker.

The established half-back duo of Pauline Bourdon Sansus and Carla Arbez again start, while Kelly Arbey returns on the wing, with Joanna Grisez retaining her spot on the opposite side after scoring in the comeback victory over Italy in Parma last Saturday.

There is also a potential debut for 20-year-old Taina Maka, who is comfortable in the second row and at flanker.

This is the fourth successive time both sides play each in the final game with a Grand Slam on the line.

England hold a significant advantage in recent meetings, having won the last six Championship clashes between these two sides. One more victory would equal their longest-ever winning run against them in the tournament (seven from 2006–2012).

Red Roses full-back Emma Sing was not expecting a phone call from head coach John Mitchell while in a crochet class - a favourite activity in England's camp.

The 24-year-old back has not played since the opening-round win over Italy, but was at peace being below world player of the year Ellie Kildunne in the pecking order.

But when she checked her phone to see a missed call from Mitchell, her mind quickly moved from crochet hooks to back three calls.

Sing got in touch with Mitchell to find out Kildunne had a minor hamstring injury, so she would be starting the Grand Slam decider.

Following the team announcement, Mitchell described Sing as "world class" and said Saturday's match was an ideal chance to give Kildunne's deputy a proper workout before the Rugby World Cup.

When asked if France will target Sing in the air on BBC's Rugby Union Weekly, Mitchell was quick to respond: "Good luck if they do.

"Emma is a very hard tackle and outstanding in the air and doesn't need to be an Ellie Kildunne, she is Emma Sing who runs hard and straight and is elusive.

"She'll cut you open as well."

England have won each of their last 33 Championship games, the longest streak by any side in either the men’s or women’s tournaments. A win would seal a seventh straight title, equalling the all-time record (England – seven from 2006–2012).

Can France do anything to stop the seemingly inevitable? Or will England keep up the streak?

Two hours before kick-off and the crowds were already growing fast, with many opting to come early and watch Scotland against Ireland on the big screens.

In 2023, England sealed a Six Nations Grand Slam against France in front of a record women's crowd of 58,498 at Twickenham.

England then defeated Ireland 88-10 in front of 48,778 at Twickenham last year.

How many will pack into Allianz Stadium? Given the warm and sunny weather, I reckon it'll be very busy. Oh and there is a home Rugby World Cup that starts in August.

Some early buzz! And the age range goes right from kids to grandparents.

England last lost a game in the women's Six Nations way back in 2018. Toys R Us was still open, Theresa May was in Number 10 and Harry and Meghan were finalising wedding plans when France beat them 18-17 in Grenoble.

Since then - nothing but success for the Red Roses. And a win today, at Twickenham, will seal a seventh straight title.

The stage is set. But can France cause a stir?
