ENGLAND HAD A mountain to climb against France, but when Ben Youngs grounded this score in the second minute, they looked like the Sherpas who helped Homer climb the matterhorn.

However, Stuart Lancaster’s side were determined to keep their heads up and play, well, heads-up rugby; running from deep to open up a commanding 27 – 15 lead before half-time after tries from Anthony Watson and a second from Youngs.
Here are the 5 first half tries from a ridiculous England v France game
