Eddie Jones believes England can exploit the pressure facing grand slam-chasing France next weekend, insisting his side have already found the winning formula against Les Bleus. England are out of contention for the Six Nations title after the spirited defeat by Ireland but Jones believes a final trip to Paris before next year’s World Cup will be a key “dress rehearsal” for his side.

England go into the final weekend out of the title race for the second year in a row but need to finish on a high to avoid another fifth-place finish.
