England’s non-cap international against France in Vannes concluded with a decisive 35-19 victory for the hosts, a result underscored by debutant Benhard Janse van Rensburg’s fumbled try-scoring opportunity that epitomised a challenging outing for a new-look English side.
The South African-born centre, introduced in the 52nd minute amidst a flurry of substitutions, found himself with a clear path to the try-line only for the ball to slip from his grasp as he neared the whitewash.
