No caps will be awarded for this Twickenham international but, given the history between these two giants of northern hemisphere rugby, it’s unlikely anyone will be treating it as a leisurely summer run-out. With many of England’s first-choice stars away with the British & Irish Lions, Steve Borthwick’s team looks very different to the one that finished the Six Nations with a record-breaking win over Wales. Even so, there’s plenty to get excited about.

Experience comes from the likes of Henry Slade and co-captains Jamie George and George Ford – Ford would be winning his 100th England cap if they were being handed out. Ben Spencer, Ted Hill and Guy Pepper are drafted in from the Bath side that won the Premiership last weekend, while the hotly tipped Immanuel Feyi-Waboso returns on the wing after sitting out the Six Nations with injury.

France’s team will also be rather different to the team that was so majestic on its way to this year’s M6N title. Many of the top players are still contesting the Top 14 (the semi-finals take place this weekend, the final next), while head coach Fabien Galthié has already stated his intention to rest many French stars for this summer’s tour to New Zealand.

But whatever the circumstances, matches between these old rivals are rarely dull. Read on to find out how to watch England v France live streams from anywhere on Saturday afternoon.
