    Brad Grove

    The French are probably over-thinking things at the moment. They have to score now.

  5. England 50-34 France

    England are content to kill time in their own half before Nathan Collins hoofs clear from behind the halfway line.

    Under 10 minutes to go in Wollongong. England lead by 16 points.

    Jack Brown is trapped behind his tryline from the restart but his drop-out is deep! The France player only just makes it back over his own tryline in the face of England's kick chase.

    That's an almighty dent to the hopes and dreams of the French. It's a reminder that on the biggest occasions, the best players in the world step up. Jack Brown delivers a hammer blow to the French. Can England dare to dream?

  12. England 44-34 France

    It's all getting a bit scrappy as France try to escape their own half. A loose ball only adds to the danger before Dany Denuwelaere snatches it up.

    A few plays later, Jack Brown concedes a penalty, allowing France to get up to halfway.

  13. England 44-34 France

    Brad Grove
    Former Australia captain on BBC iPlayer

    We said this at the start and we're going to keep saying it. It's going to be tight all the way through.

  14. England 44-34 France

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on BBC iPlayer

    There's so much going on tactically here, you can watch it twice and see something different. It's cat and mouse stuff.

  15. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 44-34 France

    Jack Brown (con Nathan Collins)

    Nathan Collins weaves towards the line. He has Joe Coyd on his left but opts for Jack Brown on his right, who eases over from close range.

    Collins converts. Back to a 10-point lead for England.

  16. England 38-34 France

    An absolute gift for England. Nicolas Clausells knocks on from the restart.

  17. England 38-34 France

    Kyle Amor
    Former St Helens prop on BBC iPlayer

    England had chance to take the tags and they didn't. And France almost have that ball on a string. England on the left side were almost presenting France with a wall and not taking the tags.

  18. converted try

    CONVERTED TRY - England 38-34 France

    Dany Denuwelaere (con Nicolas Clausells)

    Missed tackle after missed tackle as France move the ball through hands. It comes to Dany Denuwelaere who only knows one approach: direct.

    Huge try.

    Nicolas Clausells narrows the gap to four points.

  19. England 38-28 France

    Mason Billington concedes a penalty.

  20. England 38-28 France

    France had a lengthy team meeting after that try. They trailed by 10 points early in the first half. They'll have to overturn a sizeable deficit again.
