Fantastic

Plisson kicks long and Brown opts for the quick LO. Nowell on the attack but his offload falls into a French hand. Domingo knocks on the following phase so no damage done by the rookie winger. England with an ideal scrum in midfield just 20 odd out. Quick note for the efficiency of that last facet of play from France. Bastareaud over the gainline from the base of the scrum. Doussain to Plisson and touch found 40 metres from his line.

England is playing like a deer in headlights! Come on England!

Jack nowell have a half to forget

just like wales against italy

Come on jack nowell on your debut from exeter chiefs supporter in la at mo

French with the put in on their own 5. Picamoles off the base one would imagine

Brown does wonderfully to get the ball away to Goode before being bundled into touch but the Sarries man kncoks on as he looks for the final pass. England need to take the sting out of the game as much as possible here. Some quick stats for you. France have made 8 less carries and yet made 45 more metres. Says a lot

Lawes regathers the restart and England are in pssession inside French territory. Good stuff up the shortside from Goode and Lawes
