ENGLAND DOMINATED FROM THE OFF AS THEY SECURED A CONVINCING HOME WIN OVER FRANCE IN THE SIX NATIONS
BEST PLAYERS
England: OWEN FARRELL - A captain's knock. Consistent with the boot, reliable in defence and topped off his performance with a try. He also impressively ran (METRES) and made eight tackles for good measure.
A mention, too, for Jonny May, whose 30-minute hat-trick helped set the tone for England's dominance.
France: DEMBA BAMBA
Difficult to pick a 'best' performer from an underwhelming France performance, but 20-year-old Demba Bamba deserves more credit than most.
The prop remarkably plays for CA Brive in France's second tier, on loan from Top 14 play-off contenders, Lyon. He made four runs, beating two defenders - more than any of his fellow forwards - and managed six tackles with no misses.
WORST PLAYERS
England: CHRIS ASHTON
Tough to criticise any of the England side in such an imperious performance, but Ashton suffered a quiet afternoon and didn't challenge the scorers before being subbed for Jack Nowell.
With Jonny May stealing all the headlines on the other wing, Ashton made fewer metres than any of England's starting backs and failed to beat any defenders in attack
France: GEOFFREY DOUMAYROU
In an all-round poor effort from the French, Doumayrou was almost anonymous. The centre made just five runs, managed only 34 metres and found it tough going in defence.
