Their title challenge broke down in the French capital, their chariot not so much swinging low as missing a wheel and a couple of cylinders. Their title challenge broke down in the French capital, their chariot not so much swinging low as missing a wheel and a couple of cylinders. Eddie Jones' side had to win and score four tries to take the Six Nations title race into the final weekend. England were 6-0 ahead after 21 minutes, Owen Farrell's early penalty supplemented by one from Elliott Daly a few metres inside England's half. Farrell had earlier made it 9-3 but the initial failure to find their way over France's line meant that England had scored one try in three hours.
