France coach Marc Lievremont admits that it would be a huge disappointment if his team failed to win the Six Nations Grand Slam this year.

After beating Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France, Les Bleus must only secure victory against an out-of-sorts England team in Paris on Saturday to complete a clean sweep of victories.

However, Lievremont is taking nothing for granted and knows that England have had the Indian sign over France in recent meetings.

He said: "To win the title was one of the objectives from the beginning of the year. Even though mathematically we can think we'll win the tournament, to do so without the Grand Slam would be a huge disappointment.

"England are a team with enormous potential. We all remember the last England-France match, last year at Twickenham.

"They are capable of better, even if they have only shown that intermittently during this tournament.

"So we're going to prepare ourselves. It's a super team that we're welcoming. We haven't beaten them for three years. Like Australia. It would be good to do so before the 2011 World Cup."
