England`s rugby team prepares for a vital match against France after losing to Ireland in the Six Nations.

England`s senior rugby team is gearing up for a crucial match against France on February 8, 2025, at Twickenham Stadium. Following a narrow defeat to Ireland, where they lost 27-22 in Dublin, England is eager to bounce back in what is known as "Le Crunch." This highly anticipated clash is set to kick off at 4:45 PM GMT, and the stakes couldn`t be higher for the English side.

In the standings after the first round, Ireland leads the table with a bonus-point victory over England, while Scotland sits in second place after defeating Italy 31-19. France is also in contention after a commanding win against Wales. Currently, England finds itself in fourth place, struggling with a negative points difference, making their upcoming match against France even more critical.

On a brighter note, the England U20 team has had a successful start in the 2025 U20 Six Nations, securing a 27-10 victory against France. This win was bolstered by tries from Kane James and Dom Hanson, along with a penalty try and successful kicks from Ben Coen. Despite the rainy conditions at The Rec in Bath, England`s strong defense and strategic use of penalties were pivotal in their triumph over France.
