In a strategic reshuffle, Fin Smith will take the flyhalf position for England as they face France at home, with coach Steve Borthwick making bold changes to revitalize his team’s Six Nations campaign. Marcus Smith, previously the flyhalf, will now switch to fullback.

Ollie Sleightholme replaces the injured Cadan Murley on the wing, while Tom Willis steps in as number eight. The revised lineup aims to enhance the team's attacking options and tackle completion rates.
