It may be a chance to be in the presence of greatness. But today is also a great chance to jeer the pantomine villain.
The crowd loved Antoine Dupont's spill forward with the line at his mercy.
Damian Penaud's a minute later was also fun for the home fans.

Marcus Smith has his kick blocked by Pierre-Louis Barassi. Interesting to see England clear their lines from a variety of sources. Taking the pressure off Fin Smith? It didn't work that time as France go on the attack again.

Let’s hope France don’t starting catching otherwise this could be a cricket score.

France will feel they're 20 points up and they should be.
It's alarming the ease that France are bending England out of their shape.

Henry Slade takes his time and clears England's lines nicely. Amazingly still no score from all that French pressure.

Make the most of it England.
Make the most of these errors, as they simply don't happen to a world-class side.
England should be licking their lips.
England 0-0 France
France go in search of the opening try only for Damian Penaud to drop the ball deep inside England's 22. Another butchered try! The visitors were numbers up in attack.

I was sure of Antoine Dupont catching the ball and going under the sticks.
Possibly the only mistake he's made in the last 18 months.
England 0-0 France
France go quick from their own 22 and should go the entire length. Guess who dropped the final pass from Thomas Ramos? Antoine Dupont.
England 0-0 France
Lovely delayed pass by Fin Smith gets Ollie Sleightholme in behind. England go storming into France's 22 but concede a penalty.
England 0-0 France
Marcus Smith goes off on his first proper run, but he decides against going full maverick and punts it into touch. He is looking very dangerous.

France with 27 carries to England's 11 so far. That is the sort of defensive effort that saps strength late in the game.

England have made 34 tackles in the first 15 minutes. France have made only made eight. An indication of the dominance.
We will have another scrum on halfway.

England are not hanging on, but they're doing a lot of defending as France are connected.
The way England are coming off the line they're making some fantastic meterage, but it will take its toll over time.

Tom Curry has started today where he left off in Dublin. A massive piece in this England puzzle, and looking likely to be the same for the Lions this summer.

Finally England get some ball but instantly kick it away. It is all France so far.

England look solid in the middle and France are struggling to get some go-forward, but on the edges you can see the disconnect.
When Felix Jones was with England it was clear, but right now, I'm not sure they're all on the same page.
England 0-0 France
A poor miss from a relatively easy penalty for Thomas Ramos. The full-back usually is on the money.
