Max Malins will make his first start for England in the Six Nations clash with France at Twickenham.

All six of his previous caps have come off the bench but the former Felsted schoolboy and Old Albanian man will have his chance to shine from full-back in Le Crunch.

Head coach Eddie Jones says the clash with Les Bleus is one where they have to put on a show after defeats to both Scotland and Wales.

He said: “This France game is one we are really looking forward to.

“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.

“The squad have competed really hard in training since Sunday and I believe this is the best 23 to really take the game to France and get us on the front foot.”

Kick-off on Saturday is at 4.45pm with the game being shown live on ITV.
