England will draw inspiration from their 2019 World Cup final defeat by South Africa as they prepare for a revenge mission against France in their final 2024 Six Nations match in Lyon. Following their loss to the Springboks, which came after a remarkable victory over New Zealand in Yokohama, Steve Borthwick's team is determined to learn from past mistakes. The upcoming match against France holds more than just bragging rights; it is an opportunity to avenge their humiliating seven-try defeat at Twickenham last year.

Captain Jamie George emphasized the importance of fighting and showing character to avoid a repeat performance. Despite their recent success, England remains focused on ensuring they back up their achievements and learn from the World Cup defeat. George reflected on the distractions and high emotions surrounding the 2019 final, highlighting the need for balance and reflection in preparation for important matches. Learning from past experiences, both George and Borthwick are determined not to repeat the same mistakes as they look ahead to the crucial showdown against France.
