#FRONT-ROW:
- 1. Cyril Baille (France)

- 3. Tomas Francis (Wales)
Alphonsi on George: "Two tries for George and it could have been a hat-trick. It was good to see him back starting for England and he played very well. Obviously, Luke Cowan-Dickie was moved to the bench but George stood up."
#SECOND-ROW:
- 4. Tadhg Beirne (Ireland)
- 5. Paul Willemse (France)
#BACK-ROW:
- 6. Nick Isiekwe (England)
- 7. Josh van der Flier (Ireland)
- 8. Gregory Alldritt (France)
Alphonsi on Isiekwe: "He was obviously playing in the second row, but I have chosen him at six. Has come into the England squad with no Courtney Lawes and showed the potential he has always promised. Gets on quietly with his job"
