England look better when the ball is going through George Ford's hands, it creates more width.

England eventually ran out of numbers. A very well worked try by France and with the balance of the game, they deserve to be in front.

From minute one of this second half England have been a very different side. So much more accuracy. I can't remember many penalties England have given away. 

England are on top for sure.
