England centre Mike Tindall is seeking to disrupt France on Saturday after being recalled to the international set-up.

The Gloucester man has recently returned to action following a hamstring injury and he will take the place of Mathew Tait in the starting line-up.

Tindall's primary job will be to neutralise the powerful Mathieu Bastareaud as France look to grab Grand Slam honours at Stade de France.

However, the returning Tindall wants to shock the home faithful in the season's finale, despite England failing to impress this term.

England grabbed a convincing 34-10 victory last season and Tindall is looking for more of the same in Paris.

He said: "The thing I enjoy about it is that we have got a chance to really annoy the French, spoil their party and silence the Stade de France.

"That is one of the reasons I play rugby. It is going to be physical, it is going to be fast and it is going to be hard and I like playing them.

"We haven't been able to get our game going and we're going into a match against a team that has hit the ground running.

"We've just to go out there and do what we did against them last year. Last year we didn't really worry about France - we got our own game right."
