Six Nations: Four ways England can spoil France party

It is 67 years since a Wales team travelled to Colombes on the north-west edge of Paris and denied the hosts a Grand Slam.

Since then, on four occasions when the Grand Slam has been on the line on home turf, France have converted their chance to win the clean sweep.

England will have to overturn recent form as well as decades-old history to win on Saturday night.

The France full-back will have been doing as much work on catching than kicking this week though.

England brutally exposed France's backfield limitations in a 44-8 win at Twickenham three years ago, finding space time and again behind full-back Yoann Huget.

There is no such glaring weakness in the class of 2022. But Jaminet can be got at.

In the first round, Italy's only try came after he spilled a box-kick to put France into defensive disarray.

A week later, he called to collect Ireland's kick-off but was caught flat-footed as Mack Hansen gathered over his head and raced into the corner for an extraordinary score. In Cardiff last weekend, Jaminet again looked fidgety under the high ball.

England took to the air to great effect in their 14-man rearguard action last weekend, combining
