About the match

The Six Nations title decider, almost certainly. England's Red Roses have ground out 30-something straight Tests in this competition and the Bordeaux trip is the only one with proper jeopardy on the schedule. France at Chaban-Delmas, late spring sun, Joanna Grisez making things happen on the wing — the only place England have lost in years is exactly this kind of game. The Slam usually comes down to whether France can build double-figure scoreboard pressure inside 50 minutes; if it's still single digits at the hour, England's bench wins it. Same kick-off slot as the men's Six Nations Le Crunch, same vibe, last live rugby of the European season worth your Sunday afternoon.
