That couldn't have gone any better for France in the first half. They will continue and want to give it full in the face to England.

Here we go then...

Alex: Would an Eddie Jones team be 3-27 down at half time?
England 3-27 France
A chastening 40 minutes of rugby for England and their fans. France were in utter control throughout.

Jack: All the talk before today was about how Marcus Smith would do in the absence of Owen Farrell. He's not had the chance to show anything - England's forwards have been dire and have offered him no platform. Urgent improvement needed
"I'm in shock watching this," says Clive Woodward on ITV. "The French forwards have been magnificent, they are a league above."

Theo: Can someone tell this England team to stop aimlessly kicking the ball away. The mind baffles what the thinking or the coaching is when it’s clearly not on?!

England would be up for switching to cricket in the second half I'm sure.

Travis: This has been a brutal 40. England can't do a thing right, no idea of a game plan, France scoring from every attack and comfortably coping in defence. If it carries on it could be a cricket score.
Scotland v Ireland (15:00 GMT, Sunday)
Ireland, who face Scotland on Sunday, currently sit on a maximum 15 points. A bonus point win for Andy Farrell’s men would put them eight, nine or 10 points ahead of Scotland, depending on any losing bonus points, meaning Scotland would be unable to usurp Ireland on the final day.

A bonus point win for England or France would keep them within five points of Ireland, meaning the Championship would head to the final day. However, should either England or France win but fail to earn a bonus point, then Ireland would sit six points clear with a bonus-point win over Scotland, and subsequently have an unassailable lead at the top to take the title.
Simple really.
England 3-27 France
France scored 35 points at Twickenham in 2015 but still lost. We could see a record haul for sure.
Can England make any sort of inroads?
I'm scrambling to try and find out what England's record defeat at home to France is - it looks like 27-20 in 1975...

England usually huddle up and walk in, no such thing. Dribs and drabs walk in. Ellis Genge talking to the referee. This sounds awful and hopefully there is a rocket in the England dressing room right now.
England are lost. Their minds are scrambled and it can happen. It's 27-3 at home. We know what is going to happen with this crowd given what happened against South Africa in the autumn if England don't pull their finger out.
There is a massive load of pressure on these boys, pressure on Steve Borthwick. Never mind the honeymoon period, never mind he has only been in tenure for a couple of months, there is massive pressure in that changing room right now.

It's the most points England have conceded in a first half of a Six Nations match at Twickenham.
Ouch.

Wow. I have not seen such a capitulation. Not only in the scrummage but the scramble defence. As soon as that try was scored it was if the England team went to 5ft 5in and France went to 7ft. This is men against boys right now.
Charles Ollivon
It's an absolute mauling. Again, the French forwards move the ball so well from a scrum, Charles Ollivon gets his head down and powers through Marcus Smith to smash his way over the line.
Steve Borthwick heads to the dressing room as Thomas Ramos adds even more dismay from the tee.
England 3-20 France

England are going through their routines but the routines are wrong. They have to come up with something better than they have in this first half.
England 3-20 France
Another error from Alex Dombrandt, knocking on. The big number eight having a tough first half.

This is what is killing England, this inbetween kicking game. You have to play a territory game. You can't just keep kicking to France.
England 3-20 France
England give away yet another turnover. It's utterly one-sided out there at the moment.
