On course for their first Six Nations title since 2010, and a Grand Slam to boot, but with their arch-rivals in town and everything on the line, can France deliver? The entire tournament hinges on this, so read on as our guide explains how to watch a France vs England live stream for the 2022 Six Nations from anywhere in the world - including free-to-air coverage in the UK and Ireland.

Les Bleus have worn the mantle of favourites with distinction, though things got a little hairy in Cardiff last week. Fabien Galthié's men prevailed to the tune of 13-9 but it was a close-run thing. The mark of champions, or of a team feeling the heat?
