We've got Antonio 145 kilos, we've got Milford 145 kilos.
Penalty to England, 40 metres out.
Choptok counting down, had the same problems that his old mate Owen Farrell did in one of those World Cup matches.
And were this a feudalistic contest, you suggest that in the early stages England were leading it on points.
He knocked over his first aid before he finally missed one with the last kick of the match.
But that's how pure that right boot is.
A win against the England pro.
He's looking to counter, and here goes Ta'afiku.
And he's dangerous, and he's got the sprinters out wide.
The dummy, that was quite outstanding.
Barre with the inside pass.
Magnificent, magnificent France.
Here's Fikou.
Oldrid again.
We have seen the all-court skills of the France captain.
It's a penalty for France.
Ramos, I don't know, he is a very good player on times.
But what on earth was he doing kicking that ball away?
No better place kicker in the world.
Talk about the collisions, how important they are in rugby.
Big men like France have little wonder at doing so well with those this evening.
Six minutes to go in what has been a pulsating first half.
That was 32 years ago against South Africa at the old Stade de Joulon.
Significant match that, as Thomas Ramos.
He doesn't miss, does he?
He goes to Chesham.
He's gone to ground again.
Look, France looking to disrupt.
I'm happy, I'm happy there on that far side.
Mitchell, Slade.
Oh, and through goes Lawrence.
And England have their try.
Simple as that.
The men in white right back into the match on the stroke of half-time.
Mitchell considers the options.
Goes short.
Lawrence barreling his way over.
And he's done it.
Both physically and emotionally.
Oh, and through goes Earl.
And now surely they must finish it.
Smith with a step.
And they are in.
England are rampant.
They are taking control.
Marbaka.
Legerec.
Laman.
Legerec.
They've got a numerical advantage.
Olivon gets it away.
And it is the youngster.
Nicolas Duporter, the 21-year-old, making his second appearance.
Gives way to Yaran Mouafana.
The play hack.
It might work for France.
Look at Pernod.
Pernod de Picou.
And in the blink of an eye, France are back in front.
Remember his role over the years for England.
He was huge in that semi-final win in 2019 against the All Blacks.
What a way it would be to sign off if he can score a try.
And brilliant hat.
And here go England.
And Freeman has his first Test Match try.
André Pallard of South Africa.
Demonstrated he has ice in his veins.
And now Tomai Ramos has done precisely the same.
Maxime Loukou feeds the ball back to Ramos.
And France's hero.
France's match winner.
Finish it off.
