  1. France 45-39 England

    The referee tells France the next penalty will bring a yellow card and England kick to the corner. Can they turn the screw here...

    Former England scrum-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Maro Itoje's communication with the ref has been superb.

  3. France 45-39 England

    England maul from a lineout and have a penalty again.

  4. Get Involved

    Mark, Wales: Feel for England for that French try. Referee tells you that you have a penalty advantage, and at that point you feel you have a free play. If he then decides mid-play that it’s not a penalty advantage after all, your ‘shot-to-nothing’ play suddenly goes against you.

    Anon: England will be rueing those missed conversions (6 points) and the yellow card (21 points!) Ah well interesting being in a pub in Ireland where everyone cheering every England break

  5. France 45-39 England

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey has carried the ball eight times in the game and scored four tries. Ridiculous efficiency really!

    He's the first France player to score four tries in a game since World War II.

  6. France 45-39 England

    Ellis Genge puts in a massive hit to get England moving again. But France have it back. Some very big, very tired men out there now.

  7. France 45-39 England

    There are still more than 10 minutes left so, what, two or three more tries?

  8. Get Involved

    James: What happened to England's advantage before that try?

    Anon: Where was England's advantage? Another game decided by the referee. Embarrassing.

  9. Racking up the points

    Thanks to stats guru Russ Petty - here's the most points scored in a Six Nations:

    229 - England 2001

    218 - France 2025

    208* - France 2026

  10. 'Insane skill'

    Former England fly-half on BBC Radio 5 Live

    That is insane to be able to come up with that piece of skill! A featherlight touch, an England player knocks him off his feet but he recovers - sensational.

    Converted try - France 45-39 England

    Louis Bielle-Biarrey (con Ramos)

    ANOTHER!

    LBB has a FOURTH try and it is some finish. It's a brilliant kick through from Antoine Dupont, the wing has so much to do but he does it, gets there before Tommy Freeman, who nearly tackles him off the ball but releases in time for the flying machine to score.

    Thomas Ramos clips the conversion in.

    Steve in Solihull: Where has this style of play been all tournament? Funny what you can do when you don't keep kicking the ball away...!

    Catie: Is this two amazing attacking performances or two really bad defending ones? Doesn’t matter, great game of rugby! I’m just so happy that England have turned up

  15. France 38-39 England

    France have a bonus point of course so a draw would actually win them the title...

  16. France 38-39 England

    France are in danger of scoring 40 points against Scotland and England and not winning either. What on earth is this Six Nations.

    Henry Pollock is starting some fires in the ruck.

    France are rattled physically.

    Who blinks first here? France made a couple of mistakes and let England back in. England are in the ascendency at the moment.

  19. France 38-39 England

    Twenty minutes left. Ireland are champions as it stands.

    We've had ELEVEN tries.

  20. France 38-39 England

    England have the momentum. They are winning every call at the moment.
