England boss Johnson plays down France clash

Martin Johnson has refused to call this Saturday's match with France a championship decider, despite many thinking the winner of the game will go on to win the Six Nations tournamount.


Johnson is determined to take one game at a time, rather than look too far ahead. But being the only two unbeaten sides left in the tournament, it would seem likely that Saturday's match will make the difference in this year's Six Nations.


England have been in fine form and looked impressive in wins against Wales and Italy while Les Bleus could only scrap to a narrow 25-22 victory against Ireland last time out.


Johnson has opted to not recall captain Lewis Moody for the Twickenham encounter, but prop Andrew Sheridan will return.


Tickets are available now for England v France
