Russia lose the ball forward at the scrum. Wasted opportunity. They performed very well and made France sweat for the majority of the match.
The hooter has sounded and Russia will have one last shot at it. They have a scrum near their own 22m line.
France have all the possession and territory. Seconds remaining in the half.
Between Candelon and Bouhraoua, France have completed the comeback. Candelon makes a break and draws the final defender before offloading on his inside to Bouhraoua who has a simple stroll in. The Senior players have stepped up in the second half.
Bouhraoua shows some class as he easily steps his defender out wide, then performs the same step at full pace to beat the fullback and go 60m to score under the poles.
Simplikevich is having an amazing match. He bumps defenders off with ease then offloads in contact to set his players up. Much of Russia's success has originated through his play.
Great handoff and step by Simplikevich allows him to go 40m down the side of the field and score from a scrum.
Scrappy start to the match. Russia are attacking near halfway.
Next up we have France taking on Russia. The eastern Europeans will fancy their chances in this match.
