England overcome by first-half French fling as late Jonny May masterclass proves too late


For the second he beat five defenders while plotting a diagonal line to the posts in a score made possible by his extraordinary pace. Tempers flare during the Guinness Six Nations match at the Stade de France, Paris. Manu Tuilagi left the field in the 16th minute, although there was no obvious sign of injury, and soon after France went over for a controversial second try through Ollivon. The second half started with a sustained onslaught on the French line that almost saw Maro Itoje go over but the defence held firm. George Kruis almost forced his way over under the posts and England continued their assault on the line, but apart from a stoppage-time penalty by Farrell that secured the bonus point, France kept them out.
