Back with France and they win a penalty.
-
Itoje steals the lineout.
-
Half time in extra time. Kicking competition if no one scores.
-
Still 19-19 sudden death.
-
England really messed up the kick off. Odd call by the ref again. Why didn't he go to the replay?
-
French scrum folds. English penalty in their own 22.
-
If England win this, they will have their front row replacements to thank.
-
England setting up a drop goal but France turn it over.
-
England win a kickable penalty. For me Itoje was off his feet yet again. Another chance for Farrell to win it.

And the referee.
-
Farrell hits it. England win the Nations Cup. 22-19.
-
End of a tough year for them, but England looked very beatable there. They win the trophy but they beat a scratch French team with helpful refereeing by the skin of their teeth.

Not only that, the reason for him not being able to get the ball was because a French player legally sealed it off and he was trying to pull the ball through a person. Bit of a farce ending, but well done Itoje for selling it.
Man Billy V has the weirdest fresh/kiwi/Welsh/pom accent you'll ever hear.

Earlier this week, the English press wrote that this game should be a farce as the French XV was too weak and too inexperienced of offer some resistance to the formidable England side. It was not a farce, just a boring fest. France have some serious talents now. Imagine what a complete French team would do to England.
