French papers descend to using English to describe joy of beating old enemy

The French sporting press rarely struggles to find strong words - good or bad - to describe their national teams' performances, but journalists and pundits didn't quite know how to react after Les Bleus beat England in Paris on Sunday.

It wasn't disbelief. Even hard-bitten hacks have dared to dream that French rugby has finally found what it's looking for in this talented group of players, with what looks an awful lot like a coherent and co-ordinated coaching set-up.
