France reached their nadir at Twickenham two years ago. A record defeat by England prompted their experienced half-backs Camille Lopez and Morgan Parra to publicly question the way the side were coached, or not coached in their words. They were dropped for the next match and replaced by Romain Ntamack and Antoine Dupont, hope emerging from despair.
France were coached then by Jacques Brunel. He was hastily appointed after the national side’s messy divorce with Guy Novès. As a pal of the French Rugby Federation’s president, Bernard Laporte, he was only too happy to sign a pre-nup while his employers searched for a more suitable partner.

One question is whether England are a side more in the image of Farrell, who made his Test debut in 2012, than Jones, who pitched up four years later. In tournaments Jones has used two fly-halves, Farrell and George Ford, regularly deploying the former at inside-centre. Marcus Smith and Jacob Umaga have been given a taste of life in the squad without coming near to selection, while Danny Cipriani was teased in the buildup to the World Cup before being omitted.
Cipriani’s one appearance under Jones came in the third Test against South Africa in 2018, when the series had been lost. His kick for Jonny May helped conjure victory but Farrell’s facial expressions at times during the match indicated he did not have confidence in the fly-half who had replaced someone with whom he went back a long way, Ford.
