Sir Clive Woodward and Jonny Wilkinson were left absolutely stunned after England were torn apart by a ruthless France in their heaviest ever defeat at Twickenham.
The visitors scored seven tries as they romped to a 53-10 victory, with Thibault Flament, Damian Penaud, Charles Ollivon and Thomas Ramos all crossing as Fabien Gaulthie's side hit top gear after what has been a disappointing Six Nations by their high standards.
Not only was it England's heaviest ever loss at home, it was also their third-heaviest defeat anywhere having lost 76-0 to Australia in 1998 and being smashed 58-10 by the Springboks in Bloemfontein in 2007.
