France 21-31 England
By Mark Blackburn at the Stade de France

ENGLAND boss Eddie Jones is “pretty proud” of his side following their Grand Slam success on Saturday but has warned them they are still far from being the world’s best.

England won their first Grand Slam since 2003 with a 31-21 victory over France in Paris but the Australian has said it’s only the start for his side.

“I think everyone is ecstatic to be the most dominant team in Europe. It’s a nice first step for us but it’s only a small step because we’ve got much larger steps to go. That starts with the Australia tour in June.”
