Gutted - but what a great game of rugby, gripping from start to finish, and great to see players performing without the histrionics.

Garcia out!

As much as the result is a setback, it's not terminal. The French have to go to Cardiff yet. It's going to be tight this year, and Wales struggles against Italy as well as the tightness of this result leave everything to play for. It's been an excellent start to the tournament.

Brilliant try by the French at the end. England lost it by not turning the screw when they were 5 up and in control. Brian Moore kept going on about that lost line out on the French 5m being a key moment, and he was right; we'd have probably scored either a try or forced a penalty if we'd caught and driven that.
