England coach Stuart Lancaster expects number eight Ben Morgan to play some part in the Six Nations as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

England resume their Six Nations against France on Saturday as the only team still capable of winning the Grand Slam. Les Bleus limp into Twickenham on the back of successive defeats to Italy and Wales and with coach Philippe Saint-Andre under attack over selection, but Lancaster insists they remain formidable opposition. "If you look at their performances in the autumn, the three wins over Samoa, Argentina and Australia show they are not a bad side," he said. "They beat Australia 33-6 and Australia then beat us. While we'll take something out of their first two Six Nations games, we'll also take something out of those autumn internationals and make sure we're ready for them."
