A clash between the two best European and even world teams, a final for the coronation in the Six Nations Tournament and the Grand Slam, a very good aperitif in view of the World Cup this autumn: this France-England is all that that time. But for the Bleues, the reunion on Saturday (3:15 p.m.) in Bayonne drags above all a bitter taste, enhanced with each recent confrontation against the Red Roses. An opponent they have not beaten in their last nine outings.
