France's Damien Traille possesses a mighty right boot, but the centre is still a relative novice at full-back - especially under the high ball.

He will also have the added handicap of dealing with the floodlights at the Stade de France, which can make it difficult to catch balls launched high into the Parisian sky.

"When you put the ball up under lights you can lose it," said Shaun Edwards. "It's important that England challenge for the ball in the air.

"In (wing) Josh Lewsey, England have one of the best in going up and catching a ball when it's been put up in front of him."
