Thank you for joining us on a long, but rewarding day of international rugby. Two hard-earned wins for England, can't say fairer than that.

You can read the report on the women's Test here, and the men's match here.

See you soon.

A revenge mission against Samoa is what - the team who shocked England in the semi-finals of their home World Cup back in 2022.

They face the Pacific islanders in a two-match series, in Wigan on 27 October and Leeds on 2 November.

France were dogged at times and showed some class, but England got the job done.

Shaun Wane and Andy Last will critique the start of the game. They then had a sensational period. The second half was scrappy, but they got the job done. The debutants have all contributed to a winning performance.

England recovered from conceding an early try to score eight times in a 40-8 win over France in Toulouse.

The visitors, led by assistant coach Andy Last with head coach Shaun Wane recovering from an ankle operation, fell behind inside three minutes when Fouad Yaha grounded a grubber kick to score in the corner.

But England found their rhythm midway through the first half and scored four tries in 11 minutes to establish a lead that they did not relinquish.

Leeds winger Ash Handley, St Helens full-back Jack Welsby and Catalans' Tom Johnstone all scored twice, while Warrington duo Matty Nicholson and captain George Williams also crossed.

You can read Phil's full report on the BBC Sport website shortly.

France, after a bright start, faded badly.

England were quite sloppy at times too, but some individual magic from Mikey Lewis, Jack Welsby and Tom Johnstone proved enough.

On to Samoa in October.

Not perfect from England, but they produce a few magic moments to earn a comfortable win.

Harry Newman fancies one final score...

But his grubber kick for Matty Nicholson is tapped behind by Cesar Rouge,

France, for all their industry, have not scored a try since the fourth minute and have not registered a point in nearly an hour.

They have lacked quality when it really counts.

England should add four more, but Matty Nicholson makes a bit of a mess of it on the right wing.

Less than five minutes to go.

It's a comfortable score line for England, which I don't think quite tells the true story of this match.

England are keeping France at arm's length.

Cesar Rouge's ambitious attempt to grubber kick through on the last movement comes to nothing, and the visitors resume possession.

Arthur Mourgue has asked questions all day of the England defence.

A low kick nearly gets France in, Jack Welsby has to boot it out behind and take the England drop out from under their own posts.

It’s been a poor second half. But it’s been a good exercise for Shaun Wane. Some players are putting their hands up and some aren’t. No-one’s crossing themselves out, but there are players whose quality we see week in, week out in Super League and haven’t shown it today.

France into the English half, then Sam Wood with a very high tackle on Arthur Mourgue!

Wood is fortunate to avoid a card. Penalty only.

Mikey Lewis chucks away a garbage pass, and Hakim Miloudi intercepts.

France trying to stay alive in this Test.

France hold out - but then Hakim Miloudi knocks on!

No respite for the French.

England come forwards again, in possession within 10 metres of the French line...
