Cipriani and Joseph score late tries to put gloss on poor England display as France get their revenge and deliver World Cup lesson
FRANCE 25-20 ENGLAND - SAM PETERS AT STADE DE FRANCE: This was a very bad night for Stuart Lancaster's England. Less than a month before the World Cup begins on home turf, they were out-muscled, out-thought and out-played by a French team baring almost no resemblance to the stodgy outfit they faced at Twickenham last week. Until a late surge put gloss on the scoreline, England were miles off the pace. Their set-piece was once again horribly exposed while last week's pyrotechnics behind the pack - which masked a dire display by the pack - all but fizzled out into the Paris night.
