Rugby Union: Lawes ready for physical French

England's Courtney Lawes believes France will try and "bully" his side at Twickenham on Saturday.

France have made eight changes to their side ahead of Saturday's fixture and Lawes feels the French have set their team up for a physical battle. However, Northampton star Lawes insists England can cope with anything the visitors throw at them at Twickenham. "You put your body on the line for the team," Lawes said. "I've been put in the team to bring that physicality because the French are going to bring it as well. You can see from their pack and centres they want to try and bully us." England are 2/7 with bet365 to secure the win on Saturday and maintain their Grand Slam bid, while France are priced at 11/4 to pick up their first win of the tournament.
