A good day for England all round, after the football teams easy and expected win against Estonia it was the rugby teams turn to pull of a marvellous and far from expected win over the host nation France.
An early Lewsey try set England off to a good start but a succession of penalties allowed the French to take a narrow one point lead until the latter stages when in the 75th minute a Wilkinson penalty gave England the lead followed 3 minutes later by an all important drop goal meaning France need a converted try to win which England managed to resist.
After a poor start to the tournament the defending champions are back in the final
