England challenged to win battle of brutality against France in Paris

England take on France in the Six Nations opener in Paris. Fabien Galthié is the new head coach of France. The team GALTHAIé played for against England in 1992 finished with two props sent off. Sebastian Vahaamahina was sent to Japan last October for elbowing Wales’ Aaron Wainwright in head. Since 1998 the venue has been the more clinical Stade de France, a place Jones described as “unromantic”. Rugby remains violent but in a different way. It features more punishing collisions and stamina. and withering endurance than the version 30 years ago.
