England vs France LIVE: Six Nations score and result as England fall to humiliating record loss at Twickenham

England 10-53 France: England were embarrassed as Les Bleus ran in seven tries to stun their hosts

England train ahead of France's visit in the Six Nations

England suffered their largest-ever home defeat as they were obliterated 53-10 by a rampant France in their Six Nations clash at Twickenham.

England were booed off by a half-empty Twickenham crowd at full-time, with many having left as things went from bad to worse across the 80 minutes as Les Bleus ran in seven tries.

The hosts offered minimal resistance as they were outworked, outmuscled and outclassed – with Thibaud Flament, Charles Ollivon and Damian Penaud all scoring two tries, while Thomas Ramos got another –in a humiliation.

The defeat far outstripped the heaviest previous home loss, a 42-6 reverse to South Africa at Twickenham back in 2008.

England 10-27 France, 50 minutes

But that’s an error from England’s fly-half - a kick through jitters about like a startled beetle and is fumbled by a stooping Smith.

TRY! ENGLAND 10-27 France (Freddie Steward try, 48 minutes)

Freddie Steward bashes over!

England stir. New nine Alex Mitchell lifts the tempo, with Marcus Smith and Owen Farrell working together in tandem and keeping the runners moving. France get caught with too many men on the floor and a great gaping gorge appears.

England’s giant full back romps through the ravine, loweing the shoulder into the last defender with the appropiate biff to get to the line.

Smith, retaining kicking duties, converts.

England 3-27 France, 47 minutes

Changes for England, with Alex Mitchell and Owen Farrell introduced.

No try! Knocked on! England 3-27 France, 46 minutes

Knocked on! Malins took one score almost exactly like that earlier in the tournament against Scotland, but this time doesn’t quite manage to gather the ball as he slides on to a beautifully flighted Smith chip.

TMO Brett Cronan shows Ben O’Keeffe the angles, and the referee reasonably quickly confirms his on-field call of no try.

Try? England 3-27 France, 42 minutes

Intelligent cross-kick from Marcus Smith, and Max Malins slides in - but is his grounding clean?

England 3-27 France, 45 minutes

England attack the linside channel from the scrum, Marcus Smith finding Max Malins on his inside but France marking it well. Better from Jack van Poortvliet, sniping sharply past two retreating French defenders.

France go off their feet at a ruck underneath their own posts. Penalty to England. Three points won’t make much of a dent in this large French lead - scrum it is.

England 3-27 France, 42 minutes

Freddie Steward is about the only England player in credit so far - he produces another of those right-footed thunderclaps to flip the field, Thomas Ramos concerned about a 50:22 and eventually grateful for a last hop towards the touchline about a metre shy.

France are free kicked as they throw a lineout to a grounded Paul Willemse at the front. England scrum.

England 3-27 France, 41 minutes

Ollie Chessum claims the restart and is driven back straight away. England kick up towards halfway, where the ball is allowed to hit the deck by France, but Gael Fickou steals in ahead of Jack Willis to ensure French possession.

Second half - England 3-27 France

France trot out the tunnel first, rather more ready to resume than England, you’d guess. Ellis Genge has an extended conflab with referee Ben O’Keeffe as he re-emerges - it has been a pretty chastening start to life as England skipper for the prop.

No half-time changes, it appears. Romain Ntamack will get things back underway.

H/T: England 3-27 France

Owen Farrell is out doing an extended warm up at half time - might Steve Borthwick consider an early introduction of his captain? Marcus Smith hasn’t been the problem, but England have looked a little short of leadership and fight.
