England will go head-to-head with France for the fourth time in Rugby World Cups in Paris on Saturday. The two great rivals also met in the 1991 quarter-finals (England won 19-10), the 1995 third place play-off (France prevailed 19-9) and the 2003 semi-finals, when England won 24-7 in the rain in Sydney. So when the respective captains, Raphael Ibanez and Phil Vickery, lead their teams out at the Stade de France, will it be the same outcome as four years ago? If so, how will England down the hosts? BBC Sport spoke to five experts to discuss where the tactical battle will be won and lost.
