The four changes Eddie Jones should make to his XV for France
#1. Charlie Ewels
Telegraph: "Regardless of public opinion and how his sending off affected the spectacle, modern players know that they must tackle lower. Unforgivably clumsy."
Rugby Pass: "Received the earliest red card in international rugby history after only 82 seconds for his dangerous tackle on James Ryan who was left concussed. Ewels failed to bend into the tackle and as a result made forceful and direct contact with his opposite number’s head."
Replacement: Joe Launchbury
#2. Kyle Sinckler
Telegraph: "Had the beating of Healy at the scrummage, which became the source of England’s resurgence until his departure just before half-time."
Rugby Pass: "Less prominent than usual with ball in hand as part of a seven-man pack but distinguished himself with a thumping defensive hit on his own line which caused the concussion that forced him from the field."
However, will likely miss next Saturday's game after failing an HIA.
Replacement: Will Stuart

Telegraph: "There might not be more accomplished footballers playing in England but there are certainly better wings. Was dominated physically by Lowe. "
Replacement: Adam Radwan

#4. Tom Curry
Telegraph 6/10: "Was as effervescent as ever before departing to what looked like a serious hamstring injury in the 15th minute."
Replacement: Sam Underhill

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
