France 24-17 England: England lose Six Nations opener in France

A year ago France led Wales by 16 points in their opening game of the tournament only to capitulate in a dramatic second half.

It was the seventh time England had been within five metres of the France tryline without coming way with a point, and Jones rang the changes. May was turned over by replacement prop Jefferson Poirot, and when scrum-half Antoine Dupont stepped through a static defence there was Ollivon once again to slide over the line.May's opportunistic try after kicking ahead with 23 minutes left provided a desperately needed ray of sunshine for England on a sodden, grey afternoon.

ENGALAND were meant to be unbeatable up you boris

Good. Think how insufferable the leavers would be if we’d won.

Football will always be better 👍🏻

I blame BorisJohnson and the Brexiteers.

24 hours only since Brexit and England is already a laughing stock...

I bet there were fans went over just to see the almighty English put those Frenchies in their place so they wave their flags and gloat, sneak away quietly before you are spotted

Tough for the boys but justified.

I think it was UK leaving European Union on Friday Night.
