whistle set the tone for the game as an exuberant Les Bleus side showed no fear against their more experienced visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size:

style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Ollivon scored his second after the break before England rallied with a brilliant Jonny May double to give the World Cup runners-up hope

40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">England achieved their biggest margin of victory over France in Championship history when the two sides met 12 months ago at Twickenham, running in three tries in the opening 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">But the tables were well and truly turned in Paris as Les Bleus raced out of the blocks to surge into a 17-0 lead with a little over 20 minutes played after carving open the visitors twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Eddie Jones\u2019 men initially made the brighter start as Ben Youngs tested debutant France full-back Anthony Bouthier under the high ball &#8211; an examination he passed with flying colours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Hooker Julien Marchand was less assured with his first lineout, throwing it long into the grateful mitts of Sam Underhill as the Bath flanker carried England deep into the hosts\u2019 22.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">But the move broke down when Tom Curry lost the ball in a huge collision and England soon had their backs against the wall after an electric Teddy Thomas break opened them up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">With the roars of the home crowd echoing urging them on, the ball was recycled through multiple short phases before Rattez ran a lovely line off Ntamack\u2019s shoulder to race through for the opening try.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Ntamack stepped up to add the extras and after more uncharacteristic errors from the England pack, France started to show glimpses of the attacking flair at their disposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Rattez found space to enter England\u2019s 22 and with Dupont pulling the strings, the Red Rose presented France with another three points for coming in at the side of the ruck.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">There was no mistake from Ntamack from the resulting penalty and things went from bad to worse for England when Manu Tuilagi was forced off with only 17 minutes on the clock.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Jonathan Joseph took his place in midfield and it was not long before his defensive attributes were called upon as Galthi\u00e9\u2019s side continued to pile the pressure on the visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

unopposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">A TMO review for a potential knock-on in the build up proved inconclusive and to the delight of the locals the try was awarded, with Ntamack slotting the extras once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Everything was going France\u2019s way and even when England began to mount their response, the visitors found themselves coming up against an inspired Les Bleus defence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Former Wales defence maestro Shaun Edwards certainly appears to have made an impact since joining the new France coaching set-up as England\u2019s attacks failed to penetrate the blue wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">May came closest to finding a way through, running an inside line to get into the France 22 but England were soon forced back and a mistake allowed the hosts to bring the half to a close.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><strong>MAY LEADS RED ROSE RESPONSE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">England remained on the pitch for a huddle once the half-time whistle blew and as expected a response came after the restart &#8211; but not before France extended their lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The Edwards effect paid dividends again at the start of the second half as Les Bleus repelled wave after wave of England attack, even escaping without conceding three points.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Another Red Rose attack was almost finished by Joseph, only for the centre to be stripped of the ball by the imposing Virimi Vakatawa just as he dived for the line.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">And having seen off England\u2019s early pressure, France delivered a counterpunch that appeared to put the result beyond doubt as they added a third try on 55 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Dupont was again the architect, sniping blind with a series of side-steps before feeding the ball back inside to Ollivon as the France skipper raced over for his second of the contest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Ntamack added the extras and England found themselves staring at a scoreboard that read 24-0 and the prospect of leaving Paris empty handed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">But May had other ideas. The winger showed his footballing skills to create his first try out of nothing, kicking forward and grounding the ball under pressure from Teddy Thomas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Farrell added the extras and he was soon adding another two points after May turned on the nitro boosters again, leaving Ntamack and Thomas in his wake to cross the whitewash for his second.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">England had further chances to cut the deficit in the closing 15 minutes but France remained resilient and while Farrell added a late penalty to snatch a losing bonus point, nothing was to deny a famous Les Bleus win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>KEY MOMENT<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">The spell either side of half-time ultimately proved key as England were repeatedly frustrated by a superbly drilled Les Blues defence &#8211; a testament to the impact of Edwards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Having conceded 17 points without landing a blow in response, the Red Rose strived to end the first half with a try but repeatedly found the door slam shut in their face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">It was a similar story after the restart as they opted to take a scrum on successive penalties in front of the France posts, only to be denied a certain score when Joseph was stripped of the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Buoyed by the fact they had denied England for a seventh time from within five metres of their won tryline, France then went down the other end as Ollivon put the game beyond the visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>PLAYER WATCH &#8211; Antoine Dupont<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Trusted by Galthi\u00e9 to provide the link between attack and defence, 23-year-old Antoine Dupont did not just cope with the pressure place upon him &#8211; he positively thrived in it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">With Toulouse\u2019s 20-year-old Romain Ntamack alongside him, Dupont was assured from start to finish on the ball and barely put a foot wrong as he controlled the France attack.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">He played a key role in two of his side\u2019s three tries and ensured England always remained at arm\u2019s length, always making the right decision when he was given the ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">But undoubtedly the highlight of the game came in the build up to France\u2019s third try, which saw Dupont skip down the blindside with the grace of a ballet dancer before setting up Ollivon to score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>The scorers:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>For France:<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Tries:<\/b>\u00a0Rattez, Ollivon 2<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Cons:<\/b>\u00a0Ntamack 3<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Pens:<\/b>\u00a0Ntamack<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>For England:<\/b><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Tries:<\/b>\u00a0May 2<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Cons:<\/b>\u00a0Farrell 2<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>Pen:<\/b>\u00a0Farrell<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;
