'England had Italy on the ropes but didn't recreate French demolition job'

England are certainly building momentum at Allianz Stadium and have not lost at home in the Six Nations since their record defeat by France in 2023.

But those England players who have played in Cardiff will know there is an enormous home factor there as well, and particularly when England are in town.

It is notoriously a tricky place for England to play rugby.

It was probably my favourite venue to play at outside of Twickenham because you are challenged to the max and it is incredibly intimidating, but also rewarding when you play well.

Wales have proven they can score tries and cause problems. In a neutral venue I'm saying England are winning by 10-15 points, but at the Principality, it makes it a one score game either way.

The players who have played there before will be advising those that haven't as to what to expect but you can times that by 10 because next Saturday is going to be ferocious.

It is fantastic for the Six Nations that three teams are still be in the title race, but realistically, for France to lose at home to Scotland after that performance against Ireland, seems like such an impossibility.

This tournament is so unique and France showed up to Twickenham and coughed up a few opportunities, so you never know.

But I've not seen them play like that for a couple of years.

They all tapped into their inner super human powers and it all came together, even with the loss of Antoine Dupont.

They have got their mojo back and are set to get themselves back on track towards the World Cup.
