  1. 'Very, very disciplined'

    England 82-0 France

    Paul Rowley
    Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    I think England have been fantastic. Overall, they've been very, very disciplined.

    CONVERTED TRY - England 82-0 France

    AJ Brimson

    Matty Ashton almost escapes down the left but England run the ball on the last and Mikey Lewis and Harry Smith combine to get AJ Brimson over.

  3. England 76-0 France

    England get up the pitch but then kick the ball away.

  4. England 76-0 France

    England get the ball back but they are right on their own line.

  5. England 76-0 France

    England are currently two points better off than Samoa last week. They need a try or two more surely to eat into Samoa's points difference advantage.

  7. England 76-0 France

    How many more points can England add here? They are all crucial.

  8. 'Doesn't Mikey Lewis look happy?'

    England 76-0 France

    Paul Rowley
    Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's my favourite try of the afternoon. Mikey Lewis has done what we wanted him to do - he's run. And doesn't he look happy as well?

  9. try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 76-0 France

    Mikey Lewis

    France knock on. And a couple fo tackles later Harry Smith picks out Mikey Lewis who burst through a couple of tackles to score.

    Hugo Savala's curling kick sticks another two points on the score.

    Jack Welsby

    AJ Brimson with the line break again. Jack Welsby does the rest with nobody home. Have France given up?

    Hugo Savala knocks over the two.

  11. 'Welsby and Lewis having an immediate impact'

    England 64-0 France

    Paul Rowley
    Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    England have got loads of points to play for, and they've got all their attackers on the field. All the substitutes are contributing - Jack Welsby and Mikey Lewis having an immediate impact. I'm expecting England to get 80 points - they're more than capable. But why do France keep kicking short?

    CONVERTED TRY - England 64-0 France

    Dom Young

    Dom Young scores from a France kick-off. Wow.

    What are Laurent Frayssinous' team doing with this short kick-off tactic? It caused them all sorts of bother last week as well.

  13. try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 58-0 France

    Mikey Lewis

    AJ Brimson is destroying this France defence. He bursts through again and has Jack Welsby in support. The St Helens man looks like he's going to be caught and offloads to Mikey Lewis.

  14. England 52-0 France

    Mikey Lewis and Jack Welsby are now both on the pitch for England.

    France go for one of those short kick-offs that served them so well against Samoa and erm concede territory immediately.

  15. 'The short ball is the answer'

    England 52-0 France

    Paul Rowley
    Castleford Tigers head coach on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    The short ball is the answer. England have got no value out of anything long. AJ Brimson has gone around the middles, the easiest looking try in the world, but that's what you've got to do. The worst thing to do would have been to pass again. England need to go up another gear - and bringing on Mikey Lewis will help that.

  16. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 52-0 France

    Jez Litten

    AJ Brimson puts on the footwork. How France must be sick of the sight of him running through the middle.

    This time he pops off a pass to Jez Litten and the Hull KR man cruises over for England's ninth try.

    Easy for Hugo Savala to add the extra two points from there.

  17. England 46-0 France

    The situtation England find themselves in means they go for another short goal-line drop out. France's attack and kickin on the last is poor and England escape without conceding.

    Before anyone gets carried away, let's just remember we are playing against a very poor French team. It's the equivalent of a top Super League team playing against an average Championship club.

  19. England 46-0 France

    Kai Pearce-Paul's offload is intercepted on the France line. Jez Litten now gives away a penalty, to relieve the pressure on Laurent Frayssinous' side.

  20. England 46-0 France

    George Williams tries to get Dom Young in again but France cover that move well. Meanwhile, there is movement on the England bench and Mikey Lewis looks like he could be coming on.
