England with a convincing win in the end, and the French will look to bounce back in their next fixture if they want to progress in this tournament

France leaving it very late to play their best rugby

England in the ascendancy now as they cross for their second converted try and followed up very quickly with their third which is well converted from out wide

Second half on the way , and England with the ideal start to the half with a well worked try which is comfortably converted

No score in the half , as most of the match was played in the middle third of the field. Too many errors from both sides which will have to corrected in the second half if either side want to come away with a win in this game

Great physical battles come ruck time with France showing their power and brute strength shoving the English off the ball

A real cagey affair thus far with neither team wanting to make that fatal error that could lead to he opponent making a score

The French fielding the oldest player at the tournament in Julien Candelon and will be looking at his experience to get the across the line

The Old Foe go head to head now as England take on France which promises to be a battle of note
