Mike Ruddock’s side looked set to record a remarkable victory over this year’s Six Nations Grand Slam champions after coming from 13-0 down after the first quarter to lead 25-23 with just seven minutes to play.

However, England replied with a penalty from fly-half George Ford before sealing victory with a try from replacement wing Marland Yarde.
