It is a slim chance of a win for England.

This championship has created some incredible games and there is plenty on the line.

I may be clutching at straws, but a few decisions go your way and England could be in the game.

For any chance, England will need to take slightly more risk in attack.

No England side have won only one game during a Six Nations campaign.

A loss in Paris and Steve Borthwick's side will secure some unwanted history.

Will that happen?

Thumbs up for yes. Thumbs down for no.

After that statement Ireland win, France's task is simple. Any win, however it comes, will be enough to retain their title.

For England though, it's fight or flight time. After three chastening defeats this is an almighty test of their craft and character. Can they produce a performance with their backs firmly against the wall? They have played well in adversity before, and they need to do so again to show there is plenty of life left in this team, and this regime.

A win for England, and it's Ireland's Six Nations, although there is the prospect of France nabbing the title in the event of a high-scoring draw, and winning the tournament with three wins compared to Ireland's four. Let's hope, for the integrity of this brilliant competition, it doesn't come to that.

And after torrential rain in Paris yesterday, conditions are absolutely perfect tonight. Thousands of supporters are in their seats with 90 minutes to go until kick-off. It is set to be a sensational occasion.

It was a superb game in Dublin this afternoon which ebbed and flowed but Scotland couldn't match their heroics of last week as Ireland got the win they needed.

They will be champions if England find some magic tonight.

Less sit-ups, more Chablis.

I'm on board with that coach.

Former Scotland number eight Johnnie Beattie spent two seasons under France head coach Fabien Galthie at Montpellier.

"I was used to being beasted at Glasgow Warriors for pre-season," he recalled

"We would go to RM Condor, the naval base near Arbroath and work with Royal Marines doing gun runs and press-ups and sit-ups on sand dunes in what felt like -10C.

"A year later, in my first pre-season in Montpellier, on the first day of testing we did a lap and a half of a 400m track and then Fabien took us down to the port in Montpellier to help the fisherman pull in the catch and have a glass of white wine with them over lunch.

"My eyes were opened to a different way of working a different appreciation for the sport, can go about from a rugby point of view while also making incredible memories outside the sport."

Not every decision made while drunk in Majorca is a good one, but I reckon booking tickets to watch this match at this stadium is a decent one.

Ian and Marilyn Melrose got tipsy late-night shopping months ago and have thoroughly enjoyed their few days in the French capital.

Originally from Gravesend in Kent, now resident in Mayenne, a pretty (aren't they all?) little town in the north-west of France, they are looking forward to seeing Antoine Dupont strut his stuff, while holding out slender hope of an England win.

Wales have ended their three-year, 15-game losing streak in the Six Nations by beating Italy in Cardiff.

Aaron Wainwright scored twice, Dewi Lake made it 21-0 at half-time and Dan Edwards got a fourth try before Italy rallied.

England have not dealt with pressure well. They have let it get on top of them.

That means you might miss opportunities you wouldn’t usually take, or lack the confidence to give the pass.

This England team are under a lot of pressure to deliver.

This side are young enough to not carry the weight. Hopefully it does not scar them for too long.

We heard from a tournament official about what they are calling “a mission impossible endeavour” regarding the Six Nations trophy.Given there is only one trophy at the moment - a replica of the original which has been damaged - they are flying the trophy from Dublin to Paris in between the Ireland v Scotland and France v England matches.It meant all three teams who could still win the title before play - Ireland, Scotland and France - will see the trophy as they run out to play their decisive games.

Can this England XV play like that Scotland XV last week?

France's leading rugby paper - Midi Olympique - have gone full artist mode for their front page.

• Andy Farrell's Ireland, who lost to France in their opening game, will be champions if England beat Les Bleus at the Stade de France
• A France victory of any kind will hand the home side a record eighth Six Nations title
• A bonus-point draw would bring France level with Ireland on match points but Fabien Galthie's side would be crowned champions courtesy of their superior points difference
• France need to beat England by a whopping 86 points - and deny the visitors a bonus point - to leave Steve Borthwick's side bottom of the table.

Will France win the Six Nations? Can England finish their miserable campaign on a high?

Get your thoughts in.

England have made a solitary change to their line-up with Ollie Chessum coming into the back row.

With Tom Curry out with a calf injury sustained in the warm-up of their loss to Italy, Guy Pepper shifts to open-side flanker.

Flanker Temo Matiu will make his debut in France's final Six Nations game.

The 24-year-old starts in place of Oscar Jegou, who was given a four-week suspension for an eye gouge against Scotland.

In three personnel changes to the pack, powerful Toulouse lock Emmanuel Meafou starts, while Charles Ollivon moves from the second row to number eight in place of the injured Anthony Jelonch.

Centre Pierre-Louis Barassi comes in for the injured Nicolas Depoortere.
