France head coach Fabien Galthie says his team has a Six Nations title to win, and that's motivation enough for their clash with England in the tournament finale on Saturday.

The reigning champions' hopes of a Grand Slam went up in smoke last week, but they remain in pole position to retain their title with a bonus-point victory over England.

England began the tournament with a 12th straight victory but their form has since unravelled with three successive defeats.

Despite being clear underdogs, England captain Maro Itoje is not reading anything into that, citing their previous victory over France in last season's tournament.

Meanwhile, Scotland head to Ireland with both teams knowing that victory could be enough to win the championship, and Italy could win three matches in a single tournament for the first time if they beat Wales.
