After England’s 59-13 dismantling of Italy on Saturday, their odds have been slashed in the 2011 Six Nations. It was their second consecutive win after an opening match victory over Wales at the Millennium Stadium. A lot will be riding on their match against France at Twickenham on Feb. 26. All odds below are provided by Party Bets.
France beat Ireland 25-22 on Sunday and beat Scotland in their opening match as they look to repeat last year’s Six Nations success. Their match against England on Feb. 26 could be the biggest of the tournament. France is just behind England in the outright odds right now so the match could help decide the tournament early.

England: 4/6
France: 7/5

England: 7/4
France: 9/4
