France 33-31 England: Steve Borthwick's side denied second place in Six Nations by late penalty

Although England put the first points on the board through a George Ford penalty, it was then France who took control of the majority of the first half, three Thomas Ramos penalties plus a sensational converted try by Nolann Le Garrec giving them a lead. Despite them seemingly being in control, England hit back in the dying moments of the half through Ollie Lawrence, Ford converting to reduce the deficit to 16-10 at half-time.
