An inexperienced England XV were narrowly defeated in dramatic last-gasp fashion by their French counterparts in a thrilling non-cap international at Allianz Stadium Twickenham on Saturday. Romain Taofifenua’s late score converted by Antoine Hastoy saw an experimental Les Bleus side triumph 26-24 in south-west London in a game packed full of tries and incident, with two 20-minute red cards.
