Huge scrum from France on the English put in earns them an early penalty as the English front row pops up. Parra hooks his relatively easy effort.

Who's a dozy Frenchman then

Come on laws smash parra

Good first half though!

England could be playing better

Very true what is happening ?? Hopefully will pick up at half time.

Huh missed

The touch judge calls that Dusautoir was taken out at a line out to give the French a penalty on the stroke of half time, but it is just out of Parra's range.

C'mon France fofanas a beast

Come on France
