Let’s not get too giddy. As good as this Twickenham rout of England was, two rounds of the championship remain and France are still on course for a Grand Slam following Sunday's 33-8 victory against Italy in Lille.

Les Bleus face Scotland in Edinburgh next following this fallow week before the visit of England to Stade de France while Ireland play out their campaign on home soil against winless but improving Wales on Friday week and then Scotland eight days later.
