England's Brad Barritt has warned his teammates that they should be wary of France ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash at Twickenham Stadium.
The hosts head into the match with two wins from two matches in this season's competition, while Les Bleus have lost both of their opening games.
"We are confident because of what we have done - but we are aware we need to improve because we expect a resurgent France team at Twickenham," Barritt told Sky Sports News.
"Everyone enjoys a fast attacking game but you can also enjoy grinding out a win and being a pillar of strength - defend and lead from the front."
South African-born Barritt has won 12 caps for England since he made his debut last year.
