France 'has what it takes' to beat England
France coach Marc Lievremont is confident his team can overcome England in the final game of the Six Nations to claim a grand slam tournament victory.
Lievremont has retained faith in the side that beat Italy 46-20 in Paris last time out, naming an unchanged squad for the clash with England.
"Even if it's obvious that it will be more complicated against England than against our Italian friends we think that this France team has what it takes to beat England on Saturday night," he said.
After overcoming Scotland18-9 and Ireland 33-10 in their opening Six Nations matches, followed by beating Wales at Cardiff before the game with Italy, France are only one win away from a Six Nations grand slam.
Ireland are the only team that can pip them to the trophy but to do that they will need England, who turned in an unconvincing display against Scotland last weekend (March 13th), to do them a favour against Les Bleus.
England face France at the Stade de France on Saturday, March 20th.
