Lancaster hopes French resistance can bolster England

England's Chris Robshaw (2nd L) runs between Wales' Rhys Priestland (L) and Richard Hibbard during their Six Nations match at Twickenham on March 9, 2014Stuart Lancaster was left looking for a favour from France after his side's 29-18 win over Wales set-up a three-way fight for the Six Nations Championship. England secured a first Triple Crown since their World Cup-winning year of 2003 with a commanding display at Twickenham on Sunday that scuppered Welsh hopes of an unprecedented third successive outright Six Nations title. Victory left England level on points with Ireland and France, who play each other in Paris on Saturday's final day of the tournament -- hours after England conclude their Championship away to Italy in Rome. Ireland have a points difference advantage of +49 over England.
