England were humiliated by rampant France in a hopelessly one-sided Six Nations drubbing on Saturday. The Red Rose suffered their heaviest home defeat of all-time at Twickenham and third-heaviest anywhere in the world on a truly sobering evening for Steve Borthwick’s side, who shipped seven tries in total in an absolute horrow show.
Thibaut Flament, Charles Ollivon and Damian Penaud all notched braces for France, who got a very early score from the sublime Thomas Ramos as they won by a staggering 43 points, 53-10. It ended their Twickenham hoodoo in some style, having picked up a first Six Nations win at the home of English rugby since all the way back in 2005 to give their title hopes a boost ahead of the final weekend.
For Borthwick and Co, the post-mortem will be excruciating as they look to recover quickly ahead of a daunting trip to face Ireland in Dublin in round five. Follow England vs France reaction live below, with expert analysis from Nick Purewal at Twickenham!
