The French pack has been in prolific form during the Six Nations to date, while England’s has struggled.

But Robinson told BBC Sport: “Our forwards are still as good as they were at the World Cup.

“We may have struggled with the but our scrummaging have been really good in every game.”

Hooker Steve Thompson has regularly struggled to find his target men on his throw, which was at its worst in the 19-13 defeat to Ireland.

Despite that, Robinson remains upbeat.

He said: “Against Italy I thought our scrum was outstanding and against Scotland we again

“Playing France is always a challenge,” he said. “It always has been and always will be.

“It’s all about the attitude of the players. The attitude of our players this week has been immense and it’s building.

“That said, we are playing a very good side in their backyard.”
