Chris Ashton has warned England to be ready to face an “angry France” when they continue their Six Nations title assault next Sunday. “We’ve got a big Test against France – an angry France,” said Sale wing Ashton, who spent last season at Toulon. “A lot of their game is based on emotion, but they’ve got a lot of good players in there too. “The speed of their domestic game is definitely affecting the step up to international level,” Ashton said. When you’re in an international game it’s the highest intensity it could possibly be, whereas their league isn’t at that level.
