England 26-25 France
by David Nicholson
at Twickenham

ENGLAND confounded their critics to win a pulsating Test match at Twickenham at the weekend as they ended France’s Grand Slam hopes.

Both sides made multiple errors in a tense game that was decided in the 79th minute.

England’s rolling maul made ground for Elliot Daly to race through to bring the home side within one point of France, Fin Smith slotting the conversion for a one-point win.
