England host Les Bleus at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday (4.45pm), with Youngs in line for a 108th cap and Ford moving on to 76.

Eddie Jones said: “We are, of course, disappointed that we can’t defend the championship, but that makes this an even more important game.  We want to show what we are capable of.”
