Sheridan returns for Le Crunch

Sale Sharks prop Andrew Sheridan will be the only change to the England team that beat Italy two weeks ago, as Martin Johnson announces his starting line-up for the vital match against France on Saturday.

Lewis Moody has not been included in the squad despite making his comeback from a knee ligament injury with a 23-minute appearance for Bath last weekend. The flanker suffered a bad reaction from the run out, so Mike Tindall will remain captain.

England will miss Moody's all action approach, but will still be confident of acheiving a favourable result after two impressive performances in the tournamount so far. The return of man-mountain Sheridan will be important in the physical battle with the French, who are looking to dent England's chances of taking the Six Nations title for the first time since 2003.
