France vs England: Ollie Chissum comes into the Six Nations final

England under pressure made a single change to their starting XI to face France in the final round of the Six Nations on Saturday with Ollie Chisum coming into the back row.

The versatile Chisum, 25, has started the first three games of England’s campaign at the second row, but will add weight, ball-carrying strength and a useful back-row option as a blindside winger.

With Tom Curry out with a calf injury during the warm-up for their loss to Italy, Jay Pepper moves to the open side.

Sam Underhill, who came into the starting line-up as a last-minute replacement for Curry in Roma, drops to the bench.

Elsewhere, the side is unchanged, with Finn Smith continuing at fly-half, Seb Atkinson and Tommy Freeman in the middle, and Alex Coles alongside captain Maro Itoje in the second row.

Underhill and Marcus Smith could make their 50th cap from the bench.

England had earmarked this match as a potential title decider before the start of the Six Nations, but defeats to Scotland, Ireland and Italy left them fifth in the table. Another loss would doom them to their worst Six Nations campaign in 27 years.

France, who are level with Scotland on 16 points at the top of the table heading into the final round, will be clear on what they need to do to retain the Six Nations title.

Scotland will play Ireland, who are two points behind the leaders, in the first match of the day at 14:10 GMT.
