Summary

Time Score  
10 0 - 3

Penalty for France!!!! Yachvili bisects the posts from near the halfway line with a fantastic strike

15 0 - 6

Penalty for France!!! Yachvili slots over his second penalty of the match with ease - he's really striking the ball beautifully

21 0 - 11

Try for France!!! Vincent Clerc darts through and somehow both England defenders miss him. Awful defense from England - Foden will be very disappointed with his role there

30

Try for France!!!! Medard crashes over after good work from Palisson - France in control

30 0 - 16

Try for France!!!! Medard crashes over after good work from Palisson - France in control

55 7 - 16

Wilkinson - conversion

72 7 - 19

France Drop-Goal!!! Trinh-Duc back in the pocket and he slots the three pointer - that could well be the nail in the coffin for England

76

Try for England!!! Cueto juggles with the ball in the deadball area with Clerc trying to hold him up but he gets it down - late drama in Eden Park

76 12 - 19
