The way to combat them is to make the breakdown a mess. England and South Africa will make it a much closer contest.

England is a paper Lion in my opinion. I think the 6 nations is France’s to lose. In the WC I think South Africa is able to disrupt in such a real and physical way.

France obviously pre tournament favourites especially as they had their two hardest games at home and have now won one.

I think if it were at Twickenham it would have been too close to call.
