Dominate at scrum-time
England loose-head prop Andrew Sheridan, who demolished both Guy Shepherdson and Matt Dunning against Australia, may not get his own way against France.

"Big Ted" will be up against South African-born Pieter de Villiers, a tight-head scrummager of some repute, but who has never faced Sheridan before.

"They will have tactics for taking Andrew on," said former England hooker Steve Thompson. "They won't try to go head to head against him and will get him on angles where he's not comfortable.

"Andrew is strong but not the most mobile, so they will twist him and take him out of his comfort zone."
