On March 14th, England will be playing France at the Stade de France as part of the rugby Six Nations tournament. The annual match is known colloquially as “le crunch”, due to the intense rivalry between the two teams and it often being a “crunch” match in the competition. France is currently at the top of the table, can they keep it that way?
