At 6ft 3in and 17 stone, cult hero Sebastien Chabal is France's human battering ram.

Blessed with a lean physique (his body fat percentage is just 7.5), the 29-year-old Sale loose forward has strength in abundance.

Chabal is sure to be used as an 'impact' substitute at some stage in Paris, but how can England stop "Seabass" from punching holes in their defence?

"On your own you're in trouble so you tackle him in twos," said Shaun Edwards. "That's what Munster did in the Heineken Cup in 2006; two big hittters went in on him at the same time."
