England get out of jail with sudden-death Autumn Nations Cup win over second-string France


England's Owen Farrell lifts the trophy as England celebrate winning the Autumn Nations Cup. When the second 10-minute period arrived and with France struggling to escape their half, England finally broke the deadlock when a penalty won by Maro Itoje was dispatched by Farrell. Daly stepped his way into a dangerous position and Jonny May almost burst free as England started the second half with a flourish, ending a strong spell with a Farrell penalty. As Farrell floundered in front of the posts, replacement fly-half Carbonel was on target, before the England man finally readjusted his sights. With 29 seconds left on the clock, Cowan-Dickie swept England over the line, setting up the nail-biting conclusion.
