Following their whipping by Ireland at Croke Park, in front of a crowd of 80,000 fans, the England team may still be licking their wounds. However, their penultimate match in the Six Nations gives them the chance to crush France's grand slam hopes, and put themselves in the frame for the championship. Though this is pretty unlikely - England have looked bereft of ideas and confidence - they did show some promise in their first two fixtures, and with Wilkinson returning to the fore, anything is possible. Of course, this is an optimist's view, and England must hope that their defeat will galvanise the team against the threat of a fluent, confident, French side captained by Wasps hooker Raphael Ibanez, and including terrifying man-bear-hybrid Chabal.
