England hold slender half-time lead over France

England 12 France 11

Olly Barkley’s boot gave England a one-point lead at half-time against France at Twickenham.

Fabien Pelous scored the only try of the first half when he crashed over in the corner after 12 minutes.

However, Barkley’s accuracy from his four penalties gave England a 12-11 lead in their last home warm-up game before the World Cup.
