England
England have suffered a setback on the eve of the final after Mako Vunipola was ruled out by an Achilles problem. Vunipola sustained the injury against Wales last Saturday and has been unable to recover in time.
Ellis Genge is promoted from the bench into the starting XV, with Joe Marler filling the vacancy among the replacements.
Anthony Watson, meanwhile, returns to the wing. Watson replaces Jonathan Joseph in the No 14 jersey after his Bath colleague was ruled out by a calf injury sustained in last weekend's victory over Wales in Llanelli.
Jones has returned to a five-three split between forwards and backs on the bench, meaning there is no place for Wasps flanker Jack Willis.
Supplying back three and centre cover are Max Malins and Joe Marchant with Dan scrum-half Robson continuing as deputy to Ben Youngs.

What's our prediction?
Jones has picked his strongest possible side against a France team that is at best a B team, verging on a C team. That's not to say that these French players aren't good enough to give England a good game, but expect the hosts to eventually overpower their opponents and secure a comfortable victory.
Predicted score: England 45 France 11
