Here come the players now for the second half.

I haven't mentioned them today, but France are wearing special 90th anniversary retro kits, marking nine deacdes of rugby league in the country.

They're a very smart blue with a white collar and a red and white V-shape on the front. Even if they lose today's games, I think they have won in the fashion stakes.

France's Ben Garcia is making his 250th career appearance today. To do so in international colours is a nice treat.

He won't have too much to celebrate if it stays like this, however.

As always, we are keen to hear what you have to say on today's games and on matters rugby league in general.

Get in touch using the details above.

I just think England were a bit lax coming out for a Test match. They got what they deserved in the first 20 minutes, and when the French went 8-0 ahead, that’s when England got in a huddle and decided to change it, and probably go to the way they were supposed to go from the start, to move the French players around, and they became much better.

The game’s certainly not over but England are in a decent position. Once they wrestled the momentum back, they got 18 points in 12 minutes, which is some going.

England didn't make the best of starts in that first half - but it's not how you start, it's how you finish, and they did find their rhythm in that half eventually.

England were poor for 20 minutes, then irresistible for 10.

France were excellent for 20 minutes, then simply blown away.

But, there remains all to play for here. A really watchable game so far.

No, it's really good defending by England.

A half of two halves.

Final minute of the half, and an England knock-on gives France a scrum.

Can they make this count?

France, after the penalty, try to break through the English defence 10 metres from the line.

But Leeds Rhinos' Justin Sangaré gets stuck in traffic, tries to twist his way out and fumbles the ball forwards. A major chance lost for the hosts.

Penalty to France, but Olly Wilson avoids the sin bin.

He's a lucky lad.

Ooh, handbags at dawn after a late challenge.

César Rouge kicks, and Oliver Wilson comes in and shoves him in the face. Totally pointless and very silly from the England man.

Another massive kick from Jack Welsby, but well taken again by the French, this time by Hakim Miloudi.

This game remains very competitive, two teams doing all they can.

Arthur Mourgue makes a really good take from a steepling England kick, under huge pressure.

France's strong start means they are not out of this yet, but need to avoid conceding again before half time.

England have scored 18 points in just over 10 minutes. Phenomenal.

If Harry Smith had not left his kicking boots at home, they could be out of sight.

Gee: Do you think Shaun Wane phoned in to give them a stern word? Completely different side in the last 6 minutes

France must feel like they have been mugged. What was a well-earned lead, stolen away in a matter of moments.

A kick into space swirls in the wind and over the England dead ball line. What was landing perfectly for the French before, is no longer.

Watching the last eight minutes or so, it has been like England have been on fast forward.

They were clearly stung by going 8-0 down, and have responded in the right way.

After 20 minutes, England were losing by two scores.

Six minutes later, they lead.

Rugby league comes at you fast sometimes.
