Mike Henson BBC Sport senior rugby union reporter at Stade Atlantique
Belief is swelling in the stands of the Stade Atlantique.
France came on very strong in the second half of their 43-42 defeat at Allianz Stadium last year. They have scored more points than England after the interval of matches in this year's championship.
What a break that is from Aubane Rousset, vaulting tackles and cutting through England's defence with ease! She takes France to within 10 metres of England's line.
France continue to press but they're held up over the line.
Pauline Barrat flings the ball out wide towards Anais Grando, who is in acres of space. However, she spills it forwards with the try line at her mercy.
