'France switched off' - Huget
France winger Yoann Huget admitted that the team relaxed towards the end of their warm-up match against England.
"It was very hot and we were starting to feel it in the legs at the end,” said Huget.
Danny Cipriani and Jonathan Joseph both crossed for late tries at the Stade de France to make the final score 25-20.
Huget’s own try, a fine individual finish, and several points from Frédéric Michalak helped France control the first 70 minutes of the contest before England hit back.
"It was very hot and we were starting to feel it in the legs at the end,” said Huget.
"It was also a little loose. We were leading 25-6 and then took our foot off the gas.
“If you do that against a team like England, then they can hurt you very quickly. "
