    We know France are capable of this, they just were not clinical. These are really good moments of what France can do.

    England have to be squeaky-clean and not give France the chance to get back into the game.

    England 33-0 France

    France are still down to 14 players of course after Rose Bernadou was sent to the bin towards the end of the first half.

    That yellow card led to England's fifth try.

    England 33-0 France

    France are not sticking around now. They win the penalty deep inside their own half but they tap and go quickly.

    You have to commend their courage.

    It's not that France have not had opportunities, it's that they have not taken them.

    I really want to see England go for it and entertain the crowd in this second half.

    Can France hit back in this half? Pauline Bourdon snipes through a gap in the English defence and she is off.

    England are still in the changing room, it seems.

    France have shown their ill discipline. When England get their momentum after a slow start, they are really hard to stop.

    France really turned the screws in terms of possession and territory, but the second half of the half England really turned it on.

    England had a shaky start but are into their groove now and already have the bonus point in the bag.

    It looks like a long way back for France now.

    The French are very tired, they were pulled all over the pitch, England's direct running has really stretched France.
