They have not been beaten by their cross-channel rivals since 2018, beating them 16 times since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Naturally, their two most recent meetings follow that same trend. England took a narrow one-point win in a thrilling Six Nations decider at Twickenham, before securing a more comfortable 40-6 win in a pre-World Cup warm-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">France will be without two key players in this match, too, as Axelle Berthomieu and Manae Feleu are both suspended for biting and dangerous tackling, respectively.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to watch England vs France<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.standard.co.uk\/topic\/bbc-one\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:BBC One;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">BBC One<\/a>.
