    HT: England 28-22 France

    Phew. Well, that was quite something.

    England raced into a 10-0 lead inside 10 minutes before losing their way as France hit back with four unanswered tries.

    Trailing 22-10, Joe Coyd completed his hat-trick in the 32nd minute to stop the rot before quick scores from Rob Hawkins and Jack Brown restored England's advantage at the break.

    What are we watching here?! Goodness me. That's the try of the tournament without doubt. England have clawed themselves back off the canvas. That is sensational. Jack Brown. Wow! I thought I'd seen it all in this game, but that is incredible. I need a lie down.

    Jack Brown (con Nathan Collins)

    OH WOW! Jack Brown, no wonder you are grinning! Such speed to chase down Rob Hawkins' kick and splat down on the bouncing ball to give England the lead.

    Nathan Collins converts.

    Oh, how good would that have been?

    A bouncing ball does for France's defence and Rob Hawkins claws it back and touches down. Or not. In touch.

    Excellent defence from Dany Denuwelaere to halt the charging Joe Coyd.

    That is a statement of intent from England - showing they can come back from behind. They're so threatening from these pre-planned moves. The pass has to be perfect to get the ball over Jeremy Bourson's head and into Rob Hawkins' hands. Pin-point stuff from Jack Brown.

    Rob Hawkins (con Nathan Collins)

    It's Rob Hawkins' name on the scoresheet but that was all about the pass from Jack Brown, looping it just over the head of Jeremy Boursin to open the door for the star man on the right.

    His 20th try of the tournament.

    Nathan Collins converts. It's all square.

    What does Nathan Collins have to do to get a try to his name? He's tagged just before he touches down in the right corner.

    England 16-22 France

    Fast plays of the ball from England as they advance at speed. Joe Coyd collects an over-the-shoulder offload and weaves forward before being upended by Dany Denuwelaere.

    Back-to-back penalties conceded by France. A third set in a row for England.

    Joe Coyd used his momentum and was able to weave through that gap. He's got size, speed, agility, and a great ability to read the game.

    Joe Coyd (con Nathan Collins)

    A hat-trick for Joe Coyd, weaving past Damien Dore and powering over in the corner.

    It wasn't to be for Rob Hawkins, nor Nathan Collins, but Coyd makes it third time lucky for England.

    Collins nails the conversion to bring England back to within one score.

    Nathan Collins.... NO! Just short.

    Rob Hawkins had his hand in the air in celebration but the referees come together and decide he had the ball stripped.

    Leo Hivernat is the guilty party.

    Oh, this could be magic?!!

    Rob Hawkins races after Jack Brown's chipped kick, beating two French defenders and somersaults over to score.

    Or does he?

    France just too quick for the English. Wonderful passing and skill to get the pass over. My goodness, how the game has flipped on its head.

    Florian Guttadoro (con Nicolas Clausells)

    Slick handling! France take it coast to coast, with Jeremy Bourson flicking the final pass to Florian Guttadoro on the right. He just gets the ball down before being rammed unceremoniously into touch by Mason Billington.

    Two-time World Cup winner Nicolas Clausells converts.

    Four unanswered tries.

    England replacement Nathan Collins kicks on the last but it's easily gathered by France. Here they come again.

    England 10-16 France

    Straight into the action! Dany Denuwelaere with a monster hit on Rob Hawkins, with both of the England star's wheels coming off the ground before he hits the deck. He even takes out team-mate Leo Hivernat.

    No attempt to take a tag. England have a penalty and they need to make it count.
