Final

:00:49. > :00:53.Welcome to the Salford City Stadium for the final of the Autumn

:00:53. > :00:58.International Series. It is England versus France. Kick-off is 20

:00:58. > :01:04.minutes away and England will be entering this mamp with great --

:01:04. > :01:13.match with great confidence after beating Tonight's opposition 44-6

:01:13. > :01:18.last week. Good evening. Kick-off is at 1.15pm. The -- 5.15pm. The

:01:18. > :01:22.tournament has been success for England. Next year's World Cup will

:01:22. > :01:26.be held on these shores. The last time a British representative side

:01:26. > :01:31.played in Salford was in 1971 when they lost to New Zealand, but just

:01:31. > :01:38.a year later, the British team won the World Cup. You won't believe

:01:38. > :01:48.this, it is exactly 40 years to the day that the Lions ruled the world

:01:48. > :01:48.

:01:48. > :01:54.world. Sullivan, can he go?

:01:54. > :02:01.I don't think anybody will catch him. Everybody say, "Go, go, go."

:02:01. > :02:11.him. Everybody say, "Go, go, go." And he goes!

:02:11. > :02:28.

:02:28. > :02:38.getting the better scoring average in this World Cup. That's a good

:02:38. > :02:46.

:02:46. > :02:54.Great scenes there and if England are to win the World Cup, they will

:02:55. > :03:00.need this man firing on all cylinders, sam became the highest

:03:00. > :03:05.goal scorer. England have amassed 22 tries in this tournament,

:03:05. > :03:07.conceding three. Good statistics to prepare not just for today, but for

:03:08. > :03:15.next year's big one. The French haven't fired. They beat Wales

:03:15. > :03:19.three weeks ago, but were toothless against England eight days ago.

:03:19. > :03:23.They lost 44-6 and they have to do better this evening.

:03:23. > :03:26.And if they are to do better, they will have to do it the hard way.

:03:26. > :03:32.Self suffered several injuries ahead of tonight's game. As far as

:03:32. > :03:38.England are concerned, Steve McNamara will want improvement from

:03:38. > :03:48.these players with the World Cup less than 12 months away.

:03:48. > :03:53.

:03:53. > :03:55.With me this evening here at Salford City Stadium is Brian Noble

:03:56. > :04:01.and Ian Millward. I imagine one of the things that will be brought up,

:04:01. > :04:07.what has been the purpose of this tournament? Has got stick in some

:04:07. > :04:10.quarters, but you have been in the thick of it? It has been extremely

:04:10. > :04:13.vital. We have needed quality opposition to get ourselves ready

:04:14. > :04:19.for the World Cup next year. That's our priority. We had a poor game a

:04:19. > :04:23.couple of weeks ago against England, but the less lessons we learned

:04:23. > :04:27.were so important. For England, they will have learned lessons

:04:27. > :04:31.about individuals because they have had four or five players in this

:04:31. > :04:35.group that haven't been with them before. You learn lessons all the

:04:35. > :04:39.time. Every time you have a camp, you learn new lessons and the

:04:39. > :04:43.lessons they have learned will be vital for the World Cup next year.

:04:43. > :04:46.Speaking of lessons, Steve McNamara will want some of his players to

:04:46. > :04:56.learn lessons from the previous games. He has been critical of the

:04:56. > :04:59.

:04:59. > :05:06.errors they made? He has. They have spent a lot of time, I spoke to to

:05:06. > :05:08.Rangi Chase this week. Because they have been in a healthy position and

:05:08. > :05:12.been positive with their attack, they haven't been clinical and

:05:12. > :05:14.later next year, when they have the World Cup, Australia and New

:05:15. > :05:20.Zealand will only pose so many opportunities. This tournament is

:05:20. > :05:25.important to get your structure, but your combinations right and

:05:25. > :05:29.today our defence is good. We have only conceded three tries, be more

:05:29. > :05:36.clinical and get the combinations right and let's nail them.

:05:36. > :05:40.Kick-off is delayed, 5.15pm the kick-off here at Salford. Let's get

:05:40. > :05:45.a overview of how England will approach the game this evening from

:05:45. > :05:51.Robbie. Brian Noble said for England to

:05:51. > :05:55.improve this week, they will need to put the horse before the cart.

:05:55. > :06:00.The players that are kicking the players over there and your outside

:06:00. > :06:06.backs, your horses are these big boys in the middle of the pack,

:06:06. > :06:12.your forwards. What their job will be to do is play the balls. Brian

:06:12. > :06:19.was suggesting they will need to set a strong foundation so they

:06:19. > :06:23.earn the right to move the ball ball out. That will be the task of

:06:23. > :06:27.this guy. These are the players that are going to set the platform

:06:27. > :06:36.and get the team moving forward. They will get the defence on the

:06:36. > :06:39.back foot. That will be fantastic for players like like Kevin

:06:39. > :06:45.Sinfield and Chase. It starts with the big boys first.

:06:45. > :06:48.Eight days on, that moustache is receding! It is dreadful! It is

:06:48. > :06:51.appalling! Let's not concentrate on that. Let's concentrate on the

:06:51. > :06:56.England forwards and how powerful they are.

:06:56. > :07:01.Yes, they are powerful and they have got extremely good players.

:07:01. > :07:09.That's something that France are going to have to deal with and the

:07:09. > :07:13.problem for France, if they don't start the game well, there is likes

:07:13. > :07:18.of Morley and Hock coming off the bench. If England get on the front

:07:18. > :07:20.foor and as Ian said, if the kicking game isn't great from the

:07:20. > :07:25.French side, they will cause them problems.

:07:25. > :07:28.Looking at the bigger picture Ian, it is not the players that come off

:07:28. > :07:31.the bench for England, it is the players that aren't in the squad

:07:31. > :07:35.for whatever reason that maybe and that strength and depth which we

:07:35. > :07:38.talked about last week with the backs, but with the forwards is

:07:39. > :07:43.something that could concern the southern Southern Hemisphere

:07:43. > :07:53.countries. This is the last game of 2012 for

:07:53. > :07:56.

:07:56. > :08:05.every player in the UK. We have got got Sam and Graham and we have got

:08:05. > :08:13.Jack Reid from the Brisbane Broncos who is out. Today is really

:08:13. > :08:18.important to follow instructions but be precise what you do because

:08:18. > :08:24.this is the last chance for the coach to review you.

:08:24. > :08:28.Ian and Brian Noble have picked their starting 13s for the first

:08:28. > :08:37.game at the Millennium Stadium against Australia. I don't know who

:08:37. > :08:41.is in Brian's, but Ian's might raise the odd eyebrow. Let's hear

:08:41. > :08:46.from the two coaches this evening. They are talking to Tanya Arnold.

:08:46. > :08:53.Steve, a comfortable win for you last week, but you weren't happy

:08:53. > :08:57.with elements of the attack? Is that what the focus is on?

:08:57. > :09:01.players were aware of it after the game. We got a win. It was a good

:09:01. > :09:04.win against the French team, but we want to make sure we win this game.

:09:04. > :09:13.We want to do that with more discipline.

:09:13. > :09:21.You brought Chase Chase in. Why is that? He was unavailable for the

:09:21. > :09:24.first game and Richard took his chance. I want to have a look at

:09:24. > :09:32.Rangi and he deserves this opportunity. What are you looking

:09:32. > :09:41.for in terms of improvement from your side today? Better kicking

:09:41. > :09:44.game at the end of the set. We had problems with the kicking game last

:09:44. > :09:51.last weekend. We had three injuries and it was difficult for the boys

:09:51. > :10:00.so I would like to give our best side today and play at 17 and I

:10:00. > :10:10.think we can expect a better result today. So we look for that. All the

:10:10. > :10:11.

:10:11. > :10:15.boys know what the job they have to The problem of last week is that we

:10:15. > :10:19.had good possession with the ball but we spent too much energy in

:10:19. > :10:25.defence because we had three injuries. It was more difficult. We

:10:25. > :10:31.did not have the option to make some breaks and to score tries.

:10:31. > :10:35.Today, I hope it will be better for us. We can create some

:10:35. > :10:39.opportunities to score tries and I think with a full bench, we can do

:10:39. > :10:43.it. If they can create some opportunities, there is no doubt

:10:43. > :10:50.who England will look to create their opportunities. That is Rangi

:10:50. > :10:54.Chase. He is probably the most skilful and talented player in

:10:54. > :10:58.Super League in the UK. He is probably the Ronaldo of rugby

:10:58. > :11:04.league will stocks of the skills he can do at the things I have seen

:11:04. > :11:08.him do in training are mind-blowing. He has to learn his composure and

:11:08. > :11:12.his ability to build a game and take advantage of the big blokes

:11:12. > :11:17.around him. He has all the aces in his pocket but he has to use them

:11:17. > :11:22.at the right time. Take his time with the game. He has the full 80

:11:22. > :11:29.minutes to show his repertoire, Iestyn Harris. Yes, it might be a

:11:29. > :11:37.little frustrating for him. He had not had an opportunity to play. But

:11:37. > :11:40.when he settles in, he has the full complement of such skills. He will

:11:40. > :11:45.be dangerous tonight. I just wondered as well, his lack of rugby,

:11:45. > :11:50.how much that will affect him. will affect him. That is why he

:11:50. > :11:55.asked to be patient abuse the people around him, the big forwards.

:11:55. > :12:02.-- and use the people around him. He has not played a lot and he

:12:02. > :12:10.needs to keep that in mind. experience will be vital for the

:12:10. > :12:16.French, Fakir. He is very influential for the French team.

:12:16. > :12:20.Fakir has not played for six weeks. He will be struggling in the first

:12:20. > :12:27.15 minutes. It is important French -- the French get the kicking game

:12:27. > :12:34.right and allow him to flowing to the game. He is a damaging player

:12:34. > :12:41.at the edges. He likes to run at the smaller players. He plays for

:12:41. > :12:45.Catalans Dragons. He is quality. He will be important for them. When I

:12:45. > :12:49.said they will need his experience because of their depletion has,

:12:49. > :12:56.they have got players playing a level below Super League in the

:12:56. > :13:01.French championship. It will be a difficulty for France and for Wales.

:13:01. > :13:03.Key positions are so important. If you do not have the right

:13:03. > :13:07.experience in the key positions, it is always difficult. France have

:13:07. > :13:12.not got that. They will be looking for that energy and enthusiasm to

:13:12. > :13:15.keep them in the game as long as possible. The teams are in the

:13:16. > :13:25.tunnel, as you can see. Let's join the commentary team for this final

:13:26. > :13:32.

:13:32. > :13:36.opportunist -- optimist. The French optimists are hoping that their

:13:36. > :13:41.side can provide a stiff challenge at the very least here tonight.

:13:42. > :13:46.Maybe put a bit of a dent in England's confidence, if they can.

:13:46. > :13:56.It is a decent noise in this stadium. It is the Salford City

:13:56. > :14:01.

:14:01. > :14:06.Stadium. Elima is the captain again tonight for the French. England

:14:06. > :14:10.100-1 on to win tonight. Those kind of odds in a two-horse race up

:14:10. > :14:15.pretty phenomenal. I think the French might give them a bit more

:14:15. > :14:21.of a test than the bookmakers are suggesting. They will have some

:14:21. > :14:26.damaged pride to restore as well. And be very special field of the

:14:26. > :14:29.evening as well. This of course being Remembrance Sunday. We will

:14:29. > :14:34.be standing shortly to will remember those who made the

:14:34. > :14:42.ultimate sacrifice. And be very special guest here tonight to

:14:42. > :14:47.deliver the match ball for this evening's game. We are going to be

:14:47. > :14:51.welcoming Martin Dillons MBE you onto the pitch. He served with the

:14:51. > :14:57.second Battalion, an infantry battalion in the British Army. He

:14:57. > :15:01.reached the rank of sergeant he was deployed to remote compounds in

:15:01. > :15:05.Afghanistan. During his second deployment, he was seriously

:15:05. > :15:11.wounded by enemy fire and has since then undergone significant surgery

:15:11. > :15:14.to his legs. It is for his exceptional professionalism and

:15:14. > :15:18.inspirational leadership that he was awarded the MBE. It is a cliche

:15:18. > :15:22.to say this but on a sporting occasion, when we talk about how

:15:22. > :15:32.important and vital things are on the sporting field, his story

:15:32. > :15:36.

:15:36. > :15:42.appearance. A wonderful warm reception from all those around the

:15:42. > :15:48.stadium as well. They will be drawing inspiration from his

:15:48. > :15:53.appearance here tonight. He delivers the match ball. There is

:15:54. > :15:59.the referee this evening. From New Zealand. And the England players as

:15:59. > :16:03.well. We will have a minute's silence, as you would expect on

:16:03. > :16:08.Remembrance Sunday. A small part of us will also be remembering one of

:16:08. > :16:12.the Rugby League -- rugby league greats, the last serving member of

:16:12. > :16:22.the 1946 Great Britain Lions tour who sadly passed away a couple of

:16:22. > :16:22.

:16:22. > :16:27.days ago at the age of 93. He was a terrific character. I was talking

:16:27. > :16:37.to Ray French, he said he was a terrific player as well. He would

:16:37. > :16:37.

:16:37. > :19:21.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 164 seconds

:19:21. > :19:28.have flourished in the modern game. has been repeated around the

:19:28. > :19:38.country, of course, today. We can take to our feet now for the

:19:38. > :19:45.

:19:46. > :19:54.# Le jour de gloire est arrive! # Contre nous de la tyrannie.

:19:54. > :20:02.# L'etendard sanglant est leve. # L'etendard sanglant est leve!

:20:02. > :20:08.# Entendez-vous dans les campagnes. # Mugir ces feroces soldats.

:20:08. > :20:15.# Ils viennent jusque dans vos bras. # Egorger vos fils et vos

:20:15. > :20:22.compagnes! # Aux armes, citoyens.

:20:22. > :20:32.# Formez vos bataillons. # Marchons, marchons!

:20:32. > :20:50.

:20:51. > :21:00.# Qu'un sang impur. # Long live our noble Queen!

:21:01. > :21:04.

:21:04. > :21:14.# God save the Queen! # Send her victorious.

:21:14. > :21:17.

:21:17. > :21:27.# Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us.

:21:27. > :21:42.

:21:42. > :21:50.tonight. Let's remind ourselves of the way they are lining up tonight.

:21:50. > :21:59.A few changes to both sides. The England backs, Josh Charnley comes

:21:59. > :22:03.in for Tom Briscoe. Richie Myler is left out. In the forwards, Sean

:22:03. > :22:06.O'Loughlin coming back into the pack at loose forward after injury.

:22:06. > :22:12.Gareth Hock wraps a little surprisingly drops to the bench to

:22:12. > :22:22.make way. -- perhaps. The French have been forced into several

:22:22. > :22:42.

:22:42. > :22:46.the bench, no real surprises for England. Bousquet is drafted in for

:22:46. > :22:56.the French because of the injury problems they have. The referee

:22:56. > :23:02.

:23:02. > :23:08.The French hoping to deliver beyond all expectations. Tonight, only one

:23:08. > :23:13.side is expected to win and by an awfully big margin, can the French

:23:13. > :23:18.cause then comes -- some concerns? Will England sparkle in this last

:23:18. > :23:21.match of this England rugby league season? I think if you're an

:23:21. > :23:27.England fan, you will want them to executed a little better than last

:23:28. > :23:33.week. But we have to do this with the front row first, get the team

:23:33. > :23:39.forward into a good position. For the French initially, they have got

:23:39. > :23:48.to kick a lot better than they did last week. Bousquet had to revert

:23:48. > :23:51.to fullback last week because of the injury to Cyril Stacul. Kevin

:23:51. > :23:55.Sinfield was up -- was in position to get it away but a good defence

:23:55. > :24:03.from the French has made sure that he cannot. England are at sixes and

:24:03. > :24:05.sevens. They are forcing it through the hands. That is called simply

:24:06. > :24:15.enough on the French will start from a better position than they

:24:16. > :24:23.

:24:23. > :24:27.chance on putting pressure on Sinfield. When the ball went to

:24:27. > :24:33.Tomkins. They closed the play down and ended up with great field

:24:33. > :24:40.position because of the poor kick from Hall.

:24:40. > :24:50.Bentley took a risk on the pass. Bentley himself. Here comes a final

:24:50. > :24:54.

:24:54. > :24:58.tackle with the French in possession. Back it comes. It is

:24:58. > :25:06.that worry you have with the French with the quality of their finishes.

:25:06. > :25:16.It was rushed due to the pressure from McIlorum. It will be really

:25:16. > :25:17.

:25:17. > :25:27.interesting as the game develops whether they can mount any pressure.

:25:27. > :25:29.

:25:29. > :25:34.It is driven in. Can Sinfield, having to take a second opinion

:25:34. > :25:40.before he gets the kick away. Not a bad outcome.

:25:40. > :25:46.They are taking space off Kevin Sinfield. They have recognised his

:25:46. > :25:51.kicking game is pivotal to him playing well. The key to that, can

:25:51. > :25:56.they still do that? They will take their time here.

:25:56. > :26:01.England are looking for their 15th consecutive victory against the

:26:02. > :26:06.French. Historically everyone is on England's side as well as

:26:06. > :26:13.everything that's gone on in this tournament as well. We have to go

:26:13. > :26:18.back to Headingley in 198 srks the last time -- 1981, the last time

:26:18. > :26:25.France beat England. Did you play in that game? I was

:26:25. > :26:31.injured. I remember going to the game and watching it.

:26:31. > :26:35.Too much to -- there wasn't too much to shake your tambourine about

:26:35. > :26:42.that night, was there? There is Bentley. That's the kind of

:26:42. > :26:52.toughness down the middle he offers in England and Wigan shirts. The

:26:52. > :26:55.

:26:55. > :26:59.French having to try and kick away. The England defence was all to see.

:26:59. > :27:05.The French only made ten meters in that last set of six.

:27:05. > :27:12.They are sulg at the moment -- they are struggling at the minute. There

:27:12. > :27:17.is a good run with Hill. Here he is this season playing for

:27:17. > :27:23.England having been involved in Grand Finals and all kinds of

:27:23. > :27:32.things. Steve McNamara, the England coach looking on as eng England try

:27:32. > :27:40.to make the most of this position. Two tackles to go.

:27:40. > :27:45.It is Chase who has run around into a little bit of a cul-de-sac. A

:27:45. > :27:55.final tackle again. Sinfield with the kick. High and spiralling. Who

:27:55. > :28:02.is underneath that one? It is Mathias Pala. You can see the

:28:02. > :28:10.vigour from the dish dish defenders. Really, really physical with their

:28:10. > :28:16.opposite numbers. Here comes Bentley again. There was

:28:17. > :28:21.a high arm there from Mossop. Given a penalty.

:28:21. > :28:31.It was a penalty. He knows it and let's the pressure off the French

:28:31. > :28:35.

:28:35. > :28:42.team. He clipped him on the chin and for good luck, he head butts

:28:42. > :28:48.Chris Hill as well. There is a chance for them to push

:28:48. > :28:52.themselves back inside this English half. There was an arm swung in. It

:28:52. > :28:57.is another penalty, back-to-back penalties and very often in the

:28:57. > :29:01.modern game we see sides prosper when they find themselves in that

:29:01. > :29:11.kind of a set-up. So what can the French do from here?

:29:11. > :29:12.

:29:12. > :29:18.Field position handed to them. Five more tackles to go from here.

:29:18. > :29:22.Bentley at dummy-half. Back to the middle they bring it again. It is

:29:22. > :29:30.Jamal Fakir. A powerful explosive unit in the middle.

:29:30. > :29:40.He brings a lot to the French French team. It is how long he can

:29:40. > :29:40.

:29:40. > :29:48.last and not finish - his fitness levels will be tested.

:29:48. > :29:52.It is spilled and spoilt by Mathias Pala. England get away with it.

:29:52. > :30:02.That was all about execution and the quality of the England defence

:30:02. > :30:08.

:30:08. > :30:10.on the fringe and on the edge. They put Mossop under pressure.

:30:10. > :30:14.40 years since the last international in Salford. A week

:30:14. > :30:17.before that Steve McNamara was born. There is a little bit of history

:30:17. > :30:24.for you as well. I am not sure he will remember

:30:24. > :30:34.that! Here is Hill. Quite a few players

:30:34. > :30:35.

:30:35. > :30:40.missing from this England squad this autumn, of course, he is one

:30:40. > :30:43.of them. England have done reasonably well in this tournament

:30:43. > :30:48.and there are key players who have not played this autumn.

:30:48. > :30:52.There are seven or eight, aren't there? If you include the

:30:52. > :30:56.Australian con tin general and a few -- contingent and a few people

:30:56. > :31:05.had operations. You have got to mention the form players and we

:31:05. > :31:09.don't know who they are at the moment. The World Cup is next year

:31:09. > :31:12.and who knows who is going to play themselves in. I don't think anyone

:31:12. > :31:16.would have expected Chris Hill would be pulling on an England

:31:16. > :31:22.shirt on 12 months ago. There will be somebody who bursts into view

:31:22. > :31:27.out of the Super League sea. McIlorum, Sinfield helps it on.

:31:27. > :31:35.Here comes Hill. Mossop is having a bit of treatment. He is cleared to

:31:35. > :31:40.carry on. You see him jogging into sight. It is O'Loughlin. A descent

:31:40. > :31:50.position. McIlorum picks it up. Rangi Chase gets it away. Simple

:31:50. > :31:55.

:31:55. > :32:05.pass and Ryan Hall scores his 150th career try and he has done it in an

:32:05. > :32:14.

:32:14. > :32:20.England shirt. It is the first try execution that Steve McNamara wants.

:32:20. > :32:24.McIlorum does his part. Up to Rangi Chase. Chase plays his part here.

:32:24. > :32:33.Knows Thompson will be on the button and Ryan Hall finishes

:32:33. > :32:39.really, really well. McIlorum And there is a chase to Tomkins. A good

:32:39. > :32:42.finish. We have seen him finish in

:32:42. > :32:48.spectacular fashion over the years. He seems to turn the impossible

:32:48. > :32:54.into the the possible. If that was one of his simpler touch downs of

:32:54. > :33:02.those 150 and Kevin Sinfield looking to add the two here if he

:33:02. > :33:08.can. He has already landed 17 goals in

:33:08. > :33:18.this this tournament so far and there is number 18. There is a 6-0

:33:18. > :33:27.

:33:27. > :33:32.lead in the opening few minutes at O'Loughlin. He ramped up into the

:33:33. > :33:42.line and got on the front foot and ensured that McIlorum could jump

:33:43. > :33:43.

:33:43. > :33:49.out of dumb of dummy half. The question now of the French

:33:49. > :33:59.spirit here. They need a response and as quickly

:33:59. > :34:06.as possible. McIlorum stands and waits. Here

:34:06. > :34:10.comes Hill. There is a little pocket. There is the French coach,

:34:10. > :34:15.the gentleman in the glasses there. He is hoping he will be the French

:34:15. > :34:20.coach at the World Cup next year, but the French Federation have yet

:34:20. > :34:23.to decide. There is a reshuffle going on amongst the French

:34:24. > :34:28.Federation at the moment. Once they have sorted themselves out, they

:34:28. > :34:34.will make the decision as to whether he will carry on. Here is

:34:34. > :34:41.the final tackle of this set. Sinfield gets the kick away. He is

:34:41. > :34:47.going to land in no-man's land. Yeah, he was all over the place and

:34:47. > :34:54.a few of the French players were looking at each other. In the end,

:34:54. > :35:02.it was a descent catch, wasn't it? It came down with a spiral and a

:35:02. > :35:07.swerve, but he held on. This is driven in by Jamal Fakir. It is It

:35:07. > :35:12.is picked up by Ellis and England given prime position inside their

:35:12. > :35:21.owe ponen's half with -- opponent's half with six tackles from here.

:35:21. > :35:29.This is Mossop. This is tackle one. McIlorum, and McIlorum is going to

:35:29. > :35:34.go himself. It looks as if it went high there. The referee is happy to

:35:34. > :35:40.let it play on. Here comes Tomkins and Sinfield. Well, he has run into

:35:40. > :35:44.his own man, but he managed to find a route back. France hanging on.

:35:44. > :35:54.McIlorum again. Here is O'Loughlin, they have the numbers. It has gone

:35:54. > :35:56.

:35:56. > :36:04.behind. It is picked up by Hall and Hall is picked up. Stim Still a

:36:04. > :36:13.couple of tackles left. So this is the last. Jones-Buchanan skipping

:36:13. > :36:20.it away. Sinfield with a kick towards this right-hand side. It

:36:20. > :36:25.was almost gathered in by Kallum Watkins. BP. He left for the skies.

:36:25. > :36:33.A big off load. A passage of play. He is the man

:36:34. > :36:38.who put down 25 meters out. Here is a Sinfield kick and what a

:36:38. > :36:45.leap from Watkins. It is like he had glue on his hands.

:36:45. > :36:55.He had one of those sticky notes on his hand!

:36:55. > :36:57.

:36:57. > :37:03.Spun away. Here is Raguin. These are the mistakes that the French

:37:03. > :37:07.side can ill afford. If they want to compete in the game for long

:37:07. > :37:12.periods, they have to take steam out of the England team. They have

:37:12. > :37:17.to work over a few people like McIlorum that is pivotal and

:37:17. > :37:21.Sinfield that is pivotal. Sean O'Loughlin is carrying the ball.

:37:21. > :37:31.Two or three times we have seen him really taking it forward with a

:37:31. > :37:32.

:37:32. > :37:37.good deal of menace. This is Hill. There is a couple left to play.

:37:37. > :37:43.Sinfield up to the line and spin it is back to Chase. Griffiths trying

:37:43. > :37:47.to hold on and does, but this is the last. England looking for

:37:47. > :37:51.momentum, it is not as quick as they wanted. Tomkins knew he was in

:37:51. > :37:54.trouble and flicks it out. The French have held on and good

:37:54. > :38:02.defending from the French in that case because they have gone a good

:38:02. > :38:11.job on England closing them down. There was execution problem. You

:38:11. > :38:21.can't really criticise. How good can they bring it out?

:38:21. > :38:23.

:38:23. > :38:30.That was Kevin Kevin Larroyer. The England team are not missing.

:38:30. > :38:40.It is a physical game here tonight, isn't it?

:38:40. > :38:42.

:38:42. > :38:49.Here is Bentley. They make sure sure their man is

:38:49. > :38:56.met, Bentley. He might have been inside when he let go of that. Ryan

:38:56. > :39:03.Hall just about keeps hold and Tomkins testing that resolve. He

:39:03. > :39:13.was matched stride by stride by Larroyer but only after that that

:39:13. > :39:24.

:39:24. > :39:32.Buchanan. He was in full flight. He may not have been the best player

:39:32. > :39:38.to have picked out. The referee has decided that Bosc has stripped the

:39:38. > :39:48.ball. Did Jamie Jones-Buchanan have control of that? It will be

:39:48. > :39:58.

:39:58. > :40:06.interesting to see. Let's have a attack from again. Michael McIlorum

:40:06. > :40:11.hands on to Chris Hill. They are within a Smith of that French try

:40:11. > :40:17.line. Rangi Chase again. Delaying and delaying. It bounces off his

:40:17. > :40:23.own man and fans have a chance to bring it clear. -- France. That is

:40:24. > :40:29.a good Clearing run. Be terrific Clearing run. And the offload gets

:40:29. > :40:33.them another 10 metres. That is the challenge for the French. They will

:40:34. > :40:43.not play their way around this English team. That is the mistake

:40:44. > :40:49.

:40:49. > :40:52.offers that individual brilliance and very often the opponents do not

:40:52. > :41:02.know what he's doing and sometimes he does not know what he's going to

:41:02. > :41:03.

:41:03. > :41:07.the penalty, the French, for holding on. Kallum Watkins accused

:41:07. > :41:14.of holding on at the play-the-ball. That gives them a little bit more

:41:14. > :41:17.field position. They need to make the most of this. If they are not

:41:17. > :41:25.going to come up with a score, they seem to be trying to score on every

:41:25. > :41:31.set, build some pressure, it takes an due south of England. Bosc is

:41:31. > :41:40.one of the most accurate kicking players in the game. The forum is

:41:40. > :41:48.coming up at 7pm. We will be revealing our pundits's England

:41:48. > :41:58.starting 13 for the first World Cup game. You did not make it! I did

:41:58. > :42:17.

:42:17. > :42:27.lukewarm. A big grin from Sean think the French player felt he had

:42:27. > :42:51.

:42:51. > :42:56.been taken high. Chest?! Where do excellent position. Bousquet, the

:42:56. > :43:06.young prop. He is from the Catalans Dragons. Making his second French

:43:06. > :43:11.appearance tonight. This is Bosc. Losing complete control of

:43:11. > :43:21.possession. They have lost momentum temporarily. Trying to work on that

:43:21. > :43:31.blind side. Driving in again by Bousquet. This is Bentley. England

:43:31. > :43:32.

:43:32. > :43:38.desperate to hold on. Barthau spinning through. Bentley again. It

:43:38. > :43:46.is a little bit scruffy. Another six tackles. It touched by an

:43:46. > :43:56.England hand. -- it is touched. Griffi getting up to have another

:43:56. > :44:02.

:44:03. > :44:06.driving effort. This is Bentley. It is a dummy by Baitieri. He was in

:44:06. > :44:12.danger of lifting his legs up but decided against it in the end. It

:44:12. > :44:18.is a big effort, both in attack and defence. The English line holds out,

:44:18. > :44:24.but for how much longer? Terrific pressure from the French. Bosc with

:44:24. > :44:32.the little kick. It is being chased hard. Cannot take any chances. Josh

:44:32. > :44:42.Charnley puts it out. It is a drop out. Great chase from the outside

:44:42. > :44:50.

:44:50. > :44:58.backs. It is six more place. Josh French spirits are lifted. But can

:44:58. > :45:06.they take advantage from the position they put themselves in?

:45:06. > :45:16.First it is Griffi. Here comes Bousquet. Bentley stands and

:45:16. > :45:17.

:45:17. > :45:25.weights. Left it goes again. The referee has got the decision to

:45:25. > :45:30.make. I think the touch judge lifted his flag. This is the play

:45:30. > :45:40.again. Nice play from Bosc. Did he get rid of the ball before he had

:45:40. > :45:42.

:45:42. > :45:51.the sideline? I think he did. England have the head and feet. --

:45:51. > :45:54.feed. We are trying to keep warm on the sidelines. It has been a good

:45:54. > :45:58.start to the game. Getting that early try, France always come out

:45:58. > :46:03.in the first 20 minutes and are always pretty strong. England

:46:03. > :46:10.looking to finish the have well. Disappointed not to be involved.

:46:10. > :46:15.Yes, definitely. I thought I had a good chance of playing. But like I

:46:15. > :46:19.say, I have been fortunate to play a couple of games. But sadly I have

:46:19. > :46:25.missed out on the final. You may make the World Cup squad. Fingers

:46:25. > :46:29.crossed. Why has the referee not allowed advantage? He looked as

:46:29. > :46:39.though he was looking for an advantage. I think he took a call

:46:39. > :46:49.

:46:49. > :46:56.Are they suggesting it was a penalty? Yes, he is. This is Chris

:46:56. > :47:01.Hill. A solid platform provided by the England prop. Adrian Morley

:47:01. > :47:06.running like a youngster, having come on from the bench. It is

:47:06. > :47:12.Michael McIlorum up from dummy half. Chris Hill looking for a second try.

:47:12. > :47:19.Look where they have taken England, in sight of that try line and again.

:47:19. > :47:26.Rangi Chase, Sam Tomkins with the dummy. They all went different ways.

:47:26. > :47:33.And Sam Tomkins went all the way to the try-line. A second of the night

:47:33. > :47:43.for England. The French defence was left chasing shadows. They just had

:47:43. > :47:48.

:47:48. > :47:55.a little bit of field position. They at least Sam Tomkins. --

:47:55. > :48:01.unleashed. You just cannot give him any space. He stepped off his right,

:48:01. > :48:11.stuck through the middle, and unfortunately, he had no chance. He

:48:11. > :48:22.

:48:22. > :48:26.beat Larroyer, he had no chance. that Sam Tomkins was joining, the

:48:26. > :48:32.joining Jack campaign. It really has been a fantastic success this

:48:32. > :48:36.year. Jack Johnson is suffering from a muscular dystrophy and the

:48:36. > :48:46.Wigan club in to declare but rugby league as a whole we has clubbed

:48:46. > :48:50.

:48:50. > :49:00.together to raise an awful lot of second success of the night. His

:49:00. > :49:01.

:49:01. > :49:06.second attempt of the night. It has just curled in. England lead, 12-0.

:49:06. > :49:12.It has been a Test but it is looking good. It is your position.

:49:12. > :49:19.We talked about execution. They have got this man in the side, he

:49:19. > :49:26.will take any opportunity. He is such a talented player. It is all

:49:26. > :49:32.about threats and he offers a threat. Rangi Chase offers a threat.

:49:32. > :49:37.Support -- superb organisation Andy Gray kicking game. They may have

:49:37. > :49:47.stumbled on a combination. That is what Steve McNamara may be thinking

:49:47. > :49:56.

:49:56. > :50:00.Morley, Chris Hill, the Warrington front-row players. Michael McIlorum

:50:00. > :50:10.again. It is now with Kevin Sinfield. That kick downfield

:50:10. > :50:20.should be easy for Soubeyras. He plays for Pia. He is looking to get

:50:20. > :50:21.

:50:21. > :50:28.it alive year. -- here. He has given the scrum down. These are the

:50:28. > :50:37.new international rules. It is exactly for situations like this.

:50:37. > :50:47.The player gets the ball again and place on. Under the international

:50:47. > :50:47.

:50:47. > :50:53.rules, it is a scrum down and head and feet. I think Elima was asking

:50:53. > :50:58.about that. It is different rules. It is a little bit unfair. It has

:50:58. > :51:08.that element of order about it. The rules are changed over here and

:51:08. > :51:23.

:51:23. > :51:33.half-back to Kevin Sinfield, to Gareth Ellis. Solidly in with the

:51:33. > :51:40.

:51:40. > :51:50.Good ball over the top. Ryan Hall was always favourite to score from

:51:50. > :51:52.

:51:52. > :51:58.that kind of position. He is over the line. Try 151 of his career.

:51:58. > :52:06.The second of the night, the third in total for England. It was an

:52:06. > :52:10.easy score in the end. Sean O'Loughlin, they are not many

:52:10. > :52:17.players in the game with that kind of vision to throw the ball over

:52:17. > :52:22.the top and execute the play. He has suggested it may have been a

:52:22. > :52:27.knock-on from the Frenchman. He may have got that right, the official.

:52:27. > :52:32.This is the score. Kevin Sinfield, out to Rangi Chase, looking for Sam

:52:32. > :52:36.Tomkins. The defender is dump -- coming to try and stop that on the

:52:36. > :52:41.release the good pass over the top four Sean O'Loughlin. Ryan Hall

:52:41. > :52:51.goes in the corner. They are so concerned about Sam Tomkins, they

:52:51. > :53:02.

:53:02. > :53:06.have to pay attention. The English scars of a few of the battles he

:53:06. > :53:12.has been involved in this year. Maybe hiding some of the scars

:53:12. > :53:19.under that bandage. That is a tough one from the touchline and he has

:53:19. > :53:25.got it. He is on form tonight. Three out of three for Kevin

:53:25. > :53:32.Sinfield. They are delighted with the way it is going for England so

:53:32. > :53:36.far. This is one of the reasons why. It is a great finish. Sean

:53:36. > :53:46.O'Loughlin because of his skill with the ball and his ability to

:53:46. > :53:46.

:53:46. > :54:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 164 seconds

:54:31. > :54:40.pass and his vision, he can open up Burrow is another who has arrived

:54:40. > :54:44.from the bench. Sinfield under pressure again. He

:54:44. > :54:49.has not had any comfort with his kicking game tonight. But he has

:54:49. > :54:52.got it away and a good England chase will turn that into a descent

:54:52. > :54:57.kick. It was a scruffy kick, but with a

:54:57. > :55:07.great result. For England to start defensive, you have to say they

:55:07. > :55:31.

:55:31. > :55:41.appreciate how hard these people hit each other. It is like a truck,

:55:41. > :55:42.

:55:42. > :55:51.it really is a tough game. A great game. You can see England's

:55:51. > :55:54.territorial advantage there, 64% to France's 36%. Possession 60% to 40%

:55:54. > :55:57.and they dominate the scoreline most crucially.

:55:57. > :56:05.I think what will please Steve McNamara the most, they have been

:56:05. > :56:11.in the opposition area 20 times. It is one of the improvement areas he

:56:12. > :56:21.wanted for the game. Jimmy Lowe is alongside him. Assistant coach at

:56:22. > :56:37.

:56:37. > :56:41.Leeds. He was one of your players Burrow. Chase is there just hopping

:56:41. > :56:50.away and O'Loughlin puts one over the top. It is looking good for

:56:50. > :56:57.England. A full Back doing just enough, but

:56:57. > :57:04.only two tackles so a lot of scope for England. A lot of menace down

:57:04. > :57:14.the middle again. Here is burrow and Sinfield inside

:57:14. > :57:23.

:57:24. > :57:33.for for for Jamie Jamie Jones- Buchanan. Burrow delays the pass.

:57:34. > :57:35.

:57:35. > :57:44.We couldn't decipher the French. Good approach play from England.

:57:44. > :57:54.They didn't find the discipline of mind to find the white shirt.

:57:54. > :58:06.

:58:06. > :58:16.Adrian Morley leading the tackle bounce might turn it into something

:58:16. > :58:17.

:58:17. > :58:20.else. Into the hands of Bousquet. They have got a result out a non-

:58:20. > :58:26.result. The ball went straight up into the air. England thought, "We

:58:26. > :58:32.will let this bounce." Always the danger.

:58:32. > :58:42.Bosc follows his own kick, the original kick. This is a result for

:58:42. > :58:44.

:58:44. > :58:54.the French. Well, Kevin Larroyer carrying on so the penalty went out

:58:54. > :58:55.

:58:55. > :59:02.of play so the penalty goes England's way.

:59:02. > :59:12.Is it Pala? It is a push and shove game so it

:59:12. > :59:14.

:59:14. > :59:24.is a penalty. Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Morley

:59:24. > :59:39.

:59:39. > :59:44.banging it forward again. Burrow Buchanan who has to push it forward.

:59:44. > :59:50.Morley has lost it. He has got it again. I don't know how he managed

:59:50. > :59:58.that. There is a Frenchman left injured on the floor as well! Here

:59:58. > :00:02.comes Hopkins. Two spectacular passes. The first

:00:02. > :00:06.to keep the ball in play and the second to keep it alive. The

:00:06. > :00:11.handling from England is magnificent.

:00:11. > :00:20.Oh, it comes off the finner tips of owe -- fingertips of O'Loughlin.

:00:20. > :00:28.The French are trying something similar here.

:00:28. > :00:34.Sean O'Loughlin got a biff on his cheek for his troubles.

:00:34. > :00:37.Hopkins getting involved. Look at this. First of all, keeping it in

:00:37. > :00:45.play. There is no choice, he is going for

:00:45. > :00:55.the side headlines. Chase says, "I will keep you off." And there was

:00:55. > :00:59.

:00:59. > :01:09.Hock and O'Loughlin and it was great, wasn't it?

:01:09. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:18.A high tackle against the French. Well, it is a really simple thing

:01:18. > :01:24.to say. That's not high, is it, it is just

:01:24. > :01:29.a flop? The only way the French have got

:01:29. > :01:33.field position is with England's ill discipline with the ball or ill

:01:33. > :01:40.discipline with the penalty. Sean O'Loughlin coming off. You can

:01:40. > :01:50.see the reason why. It is self- evident. It is not just to have the

:01:50. > :01:59.

:01:59. > :02:03.cut cleaned up and stopped, but it Jamal Fakir with the initial try.

:02:03. > :02:08.He hasn't played a game since the play-off match against Leeds which

:02:08. > :02:18.led to his suspension. A hamstring put him out last week in the game

:02:18. > :02:22.

:02:22. > :02:32.at Hull. Remi Casty taking France closer.

:02:32. > :02:38.

:02:38. > :02:43.Gigot and here is Gigot stands and waits. He hits Hock. It bounces

:02:43. > :02:53.back and again they are not content with just a tackle. Olivier Elima

:02:53. > :03:16.

:03:16. > :03:21.wants to have another go. and this is the moment when - Teddy

:03:21. > :03:25.Sadaoui came in with a crunching tackle and caught him with a head.

:03:25. > :03:32.That looked like it hurt. A bit of Vaseline on it and it will

:03:32. > :03:38.be fine! Here is Burrow scampering away. He

:03:38. > :03:48.always causes problems with the speed he provides, but he doesn't

:03:48. > :03:49.

:03:49. > :03:54.cause problems when he has not got Noble, 18-0 and England lead. What

:03:54. > :04:00.have you made of it so far? Well, England have gone into flourishes

:04:00. > :04:05.of off load and flashy play. They will be happy with their go forward.

:04:05. > :04:09.They needed the horse before the cart, before they can play. But

:04:10. > :04:14.four or times they have done that, they looked generous. Chase looks

:04:14. > :04:18.dangerous. Sinfield has got space. The French have got the same

:04:18. > :04:24.problem. They have got to find a strategy whether that be five dummy

:04:24. > :04:27.half runs so they can chase and contain England. But they are just

:04:27. > :04:37.too physical the English. Defensively they look strong so it

:04:37. > :04:56.

:04:56. > :05:04.will be the kicking game that opens Charnley picks it up. England

:05:04. > :05:14.leading here comfortably at half- time. Sam Tomkins with a try that

:05:14. > :05:25.

:05:25. > :05:30.puts him in a hall of fame. England Thank you very much to Dave and

:05:31. > :05:39.Brian. England are very much in control. It has been physical and

:05:39. > :05:43.niggly at times, but Ryan Hall has grabbed a couple of tries and Sam

:05:43. > :05:48.Tomkins brilliance did the other. Three tries for England. This week

:05:48. > :05:53.last week at half-time, England were 20-0 up on the French so the

:05:53. > :06:00.opposition has improved. Two tries for Ryan Hall. They lead 18-0 at

:06:00. > :06:10.half-time. Kevin Sinfield three from three on

:06:10. > :06:12.

:06:12. > :06:17.his kicks. Let's get the thoughts We have come out. There has been a

:06:17. > :06:21.lot to warm the cockles. Both sides are looking sharper? England and

:06:21. > :06:26.Steve McNamara will be happy with what he has seen in the first 30

:06:26. > :06:30.minutes especially. They are very discipline. They They decided not

:06:30. > :06:35.to chuck the ball around. That will have paid dividends towards the

:06:35. > :06:42.back end of the game. Probably in the last 20 minutes you have seen

:06:42. > :06:50.the game open up. The French have come out confident. Last week they

:06:50. > :06:54.went in tentative. But they have come out more confident. They are

:06:54. > :07:00.trying a few new things. What do you think about the

:07:00. > :07:08.introduction of Rangi Chase? Rangi Chase has that X Factor. The French

:07:08. > :07:12.have stayed off him a little bit which has allowed him to put in a

:07:12. > :07:15.few nice tricez. The combination is starting to work well.

:07:15. > :07:19.What do you want to see from both sides in the second half? With the

:07:19. > :07:24.French, just be a little bit more aggressive. Take the England line

:07:24. > :07:28.on a little bit more. With the England team, probably stay with

:07:28. > :07:34.what they have got. Go into the French line and look to move the

:07:34. > :07:44.ball wide. He has trimmed the tash since last

:07:44. > :08:00.

:08:00. > :08:02.Yeah, if you say so, I believe you! Do you agree the French have

:08:02. > :08:06.Do you agree the French have nothing to lose tonne? They have

:08:06. > :08:11.worked for each other the first- half and kept that game to 18-0.

:08:11. > :08:17.The problem I can see is the body language from them the last ten

:08:17. > :08:20.minutes. They had a lot of players with hands on on knees. Just any

:08:20. > :08:25.opportunity they had, they started walking around. When the game goes

:08:25. > :08:28.on and particularly as we get into the last 20 to 30 minutes, it will

:08:28. > :08:31.be difficult for them to keep defending the way they have done.

:08:31. > :08:37.One of the big differences Ian is when the French have got down this

:08:37. > :08:41.end and we have seen them down this en, they haven't been able to

:08:41. > :08:46.finish, England have expert finishers? They have only had two

:08:46. > :08:51.less sets than the England team. It is what they do with the ball. We

:08:51. > :08:54.have highlighted a couple of times, they have got to change the way

:08:54. > :08:59.they attack. They play the ball slow which gets the movement

:08:59. > :09:03.forward quickly. Their movement to the edge is slow. They need to mix

:09:03. > :09:08.it up. We feel they could kick the ball in behind and move the ball

:09:08. > :09:12.back on the inside. It done pose enough threats to England and

:09:12. > :09:15.that's why England got more energy and I thought at times they have

:09:15. > :09:19.they have lacked intensity, France, to take advantage of the position

:09:19. > :09:23.they had. He made several notes by the looks

:09:23. > :09:26.of it Steve McNamara. We might try and guess what he is saying to the

:09:26. > :09:36.England players, but Ian take us through the tries. Let's start with

:09:36. > :09:43.

:09:43. > :09:48.rejoin the line. But the last defender does not follow the centre

:09:48. > :09:51.in. We do not have any communication, no cohesion. That is

:09:51. > :09:58.probably the big thing for Sam Tomkins. Playing at the back of

:09:58. > :10:03.Rangi Chase. That has been their problem defensively, numbering up

:10:03. > :10:07.and working as a unit. Especially from the inside defence. They are

:10:07. > :10:12.not pushing off and working when they finished their job. Some

:10:12. > :10:19.blokes are flying in from the outside. It is a little bit over

:10:19. > :10:23.the shop at the moment. This came from a Kallum Watkins break. He has

:10:23. > :10:30.had a very impressive tournament. Kallum Watkins is a very good

:10:30. > :10:34.player. He makes defenders uneasy. That is because of his footwork. It

:10:34. > :10:39.makes people feel uncomfortable. Glorious try from Sam Tomkins but a

:10:39. > :10:43.little bit suspect defensively. The number three. He is just tracking

:10:43. > :10:47.behind. He should be coming forward on to Sam Tomkins. He tracks behind

:10:47. > :10:52.his defender which opens up the space for Sam Tomkins to score. He

:10:52. > :10:59.does not meet that need much of a gap though. Great play from Sam

:10:59. > :11:04.Tomkins. As coaches, you while going to criticise the defence but

:11:04. > :11:08.sometimes you have to give credit to the individual brilliance.

:11:08. > :11:13.is the aura that Sam Tomkins has. He creates that. It is still a

:11:13. > :11:21.numbers game. Three attackers, three defenders. That is your man,

:11:21. > :11:24.that is your man, claimed him. are tough task masters! A school

:11:24. > :11:30.for Ryan Hall's second try. As the defenders -- defensive unit, you

:11:30. > :11:35.have to be on the same page, working together. That player does

:11:35. > :11:39.not need to come in. He should have some faith in the defender on the

:11:39. > :11:46.inside. That has broken a link in the chain. He decides to charge in

:11:46. > :11:51.and say, I will solve it for you, and because of that it creates the

:11:51. > :11:54.space for Sean O'Loughlin. That is great vision. It is great to have a

:11:54. > :11:59.loose forward like Sean O'Loughlin. He gets in that position on the

:11:59. > :12:05.field and can throw that long ball. That is the idea of having a 13

:12:05. > :12:12.that can play as well. The England defence has got great movement

:12:12. > :12:18.going forward. They are pinning them at the play-the-ball. It is

:12:18. > :12:22.fantastic. But Bosc has a fantastic kicking game. Sam Tomkins should be

:12:22. > :12:29.on the back of the defensive line filling that all. That is where

:12:29. > :12:33.they have to change the tempo of the attack. Sam Tomkins his way

:12:33. > :12:40.back on the inside. There is space behind there. Sometimes it is not

:12:40. > :12:46.always about a pass. It is about using the kick at using the in-goal

:12:46. > :12:50.area. They need to look at that. you have any thoughts, we want to

:12:50. > :13:00.hear from you. We will have the rugby league for on the red button

:14:14. > :14:17.can. They have executed well. I think they have defended the line

:17:46. > :17:50.pinch the ball after the tackle. While that has been going on, there

:17:50. > :17:54.is an England player still down injured. It is Adrian Morley. He

:17:54. > :18:04.has been down for a few minutes now. He collided with one of his own

:18:04. > :18:05.

:18:05. > :18:11.players, I think. These are worrying moments. He hit the back

:19:13. > :19:16.side but they say they have given England three tries from mistakes.

:19:16. > :19:22.They have to hang onto the ball. Good to see Adrian Morley walking

:19:48. > :19:53.Buchanan fish -- pushing forward again. England looking to build on

:20:25. > :20:34.air. The referee is checking who touched it ball and battered it out.

:20:44. > :20:52.

:20:52. > :21:02.Hall touch it? It looks like Duport Sinfield collects, here comes Chris

:21:02. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:26.We think he's OK. Here comes Sam Tomkins. Sam Tomkins has held on.

:21:26. > :21:35.This is Jamie Jones-Buchanan in the centre of it all. Kevin Sinfield

:21:35. > :21:41.throws it out to Gareth Ellis. The ball over the top. The referee is

:21:41. > :21:45.going to have a word with his touch judge. He wants a second opinion.

:21:45. > :21:51.The video referee is going to have to make a judgment. My initial

:21:51. > :21:55.reaction is it is OK. He is looking to see if he put a foot in touch.

:21:55. > :22:05.Josh Charnley is confident he did not that he would not know, he was

:22:05. > :22:11.

:22:11. > :22:18.that Josh Charnley has scored the try. The video referee happy with

:22:18. > :22:22.the evidence he has seen. It is the 4th England try of the night. In

:22:22. > :22:27.only his second England appearance, Josh Charnley has now scored five

:22:27. > :22:33.England tries. It is quite a return. He has not done himself any harm

:22:33. > :22:37.when it comes to the World Cup. This is the finish. Jamie Jones-

:22:37. > :22:42.Buchanan at the back. Gareth Ellis finds the space and makes the right

:22:42. > :22:48.decision. The England movement creates the space and he executed

:22:48. > :22:51.really well. Gareth Ellis with the right pass. He misses out Kallum

:22:51. > :22:59.Watkins and hit Josh Charnley on the right hand side. He knows how

:22:59. > :23:03.to finish those. Kevin Sinfield will try to add the 4th successful

:23:03. > :23:13.kick of the night. Again it is difficult and again the flags are

:23:13. > :23:19.

:23:19. > :23:22.the night. This is the execution. That is the right play from Gareth

:23:22. > :23:25.Ellis. That was about preserving the space when they needed to

:23:25. > :23:29.attack and making the right decision and Gareth Ellis does that.

:23:29. > :23:39.Josh Charnley has what we think is an easy finish but it has to be

:23:39. > :23:50.

:23:50. > :23:57.try and return things with interest French defenders as he rolls

:23:57. > :24:07.forward. He has had a good season, Chris Hill. He has had a

:24:07. > :24:21.

:24:21. > :24:30.magnificent season. Sorry, he has looks like he was caught a little

:24:30. > :24:37.looks like he was caught a little high by Tony Gigot.

:24:37. > :24:45.When you are as small as that, you are going to cause problems. I am

:24:45. > :24:48.not surprised Tony Gigot is feeling achieved.

:24:48. > :24:53.If your defence is on the back field and you are tired, that's the

:24:53. > :24:59.last person you want to see opposite you. And And doing what he

:25:00. > :25:05.does on ap regular basis, Rob Burrow, he knows he is going to get

:25:05. > :25:14.smashed like that and he keeps doing it and he keeps doing this,

:25:14. > :25:24.Ryan Hall, a hat trick. Again, it is a second opinion required.

:25:24. > :25:26.

:25:26. > :25:29.are looking for an obstruction. Burrow on the front foot. Not a

:25:29. > :25:33.great deal of pressure from the French defence. He finds Chase out

:25:33. > :25:41.the back door. Tomkins is at the back door and Chase has the vision

:25:41. > :25:46.to see the other two defenders. Larroyer on the fringes and

:25:46. > :25:51.concerned with Tomkins. Well, you have got to have good vision and

:25:51. > :25:55.skill and Chase finds that skill and that's a good try.

:25:55. > :26:00.Confirmation provided by the video referee, it is a fifth try of the

:26:00. > :26:10.night for England and a hat trick for Ryan Hall. He is filling his

:26:10. > :26:11.

:26:11. > :26:18.boots 152 career tries and counting!

:26:18. > :26:25.What have you made of Rangi Chase's performance? He hasn't taken the

:26:25. > :26:29.ball. He is a dangerous player, but he is showing he can play with a a

:26:29. > :26:34.structure. He can play with discipline and you throw in his

:26:34. > :26:37.individual prow wes and he is a good player, but a really good

:26:38. > :26:46.international player. Here comes Sinfield from the

:26:46. > :26:54.touchline. I think every kick has been on the touchline and every

:26:54. > :26:59.kick as soon as it left his boot knows where it needs to fly.

:26:59. > :27:05.He has got the vision to make it and Hall has the vision to catch it

:27:05. > :27:10.and put it away. He is satisfied as is he. The coach

:27:10. > :27:14.watching on from behalf seeing his side score two tries early on in

:27:14. > :27:18.this second half. The worry for France they are

:27:18. > :27:23.becoming passive and what I mean by that, I think there is a few people

:27:23. > :27:29.looking around the place and asking who is going to make the play? They

:27:30. > :27:33.need to help each other here. This is Burrow. Well, this is the

:27:33. > :27:38.period of play that England need to keep switched on because criticism

:27:38. > :27:44.last week was they went a little ragged for about 20 minute in the

:27:44. > :27:51.second half. They want to keep pushing forward. Here is Charnley.

:27:51. > :28:01.There is a couple of tackles left here. Sinfield, O'Loughlin to Chase.

:28:01. > :28:02.

:28:02. > :28:11.Again Chase with a double pump and gets away with a pass to Ryan Hall.

:28:11. > :28:20.Chase again and Sinfield. They are all on side here. Here comes

:28:20. > :28:25.Watkins. He got a touch Watkins. It is handy

:28:25. > :28:35.having a bloke that can leap as high as Kallum Watkins. Get your

:28:35. > :28:44.

:28:44. > :28:49.two hands to it and try and get out of trouble if they can. Jamal

:29:42. > :29:46.French or the English are looking at the French and thinking, "They

:29:46. > :29:50.have got to create their own intensity." The England players

:29:50. > :29:55.have got to pump each other up and get each other enthused and the

:29:55. > :29:59.crowd has gone flat. They have got to find the intensity in their mind,

:29:59. > :30:02.that might be with a good strong carrying and quick play and quality

:30:02. > :30:06.of skill and the crowd will be on side again and the enthusiasm comes

:30:06. > :30:10.back into them and that's what England will be looking to do,

:30:10. > :30:20.keeping their own intensity up. The challenge is for them.

:30:20. > :30:22.

:30:22. > :30:28.Here is Burrow, Hill, O'Loughlin. Chase was was trying to get it away

:30:28. > :30:38.and it was a high risk situation with Sadaoui over him. The French

:30:48. > :30:58.box last year as he had an injured knee and he did a good job? Did he

:30:58. > :31:17.

:31:17. > :31:27.say as he tries to sort things out. I have got Gareth Hock from England

:31:27. > :31:33.going on a tackle. To be fair it wasn't - Casty took

:31:33. > :31:40.offence to Hock up ending him. You have gone on with a tackle.

:31:40. > :31:44.That's what the penalty is going to be for. The penalty is against you.

:31:45. > :31:49.Boys give us some space, thank you. You guys got the penalty because

:31:49. > :31:54.Gareth Hock has gone on with the tackle. The penalty goes to you, do

:31:54. > :32:03.you understand? The penalty goes to you. Just calm down. Olly, you got

:32:03. > :32:13.the penalty, mate. The Kiwi saying, "Do you understand

:32:13. > :32:14.

:32:14. > :32:20.what I am saying?" He speaks English better than you.

:32:20. > :32:26.Here comes Jamal Fakir with the initial drive to provide the

:32:26. > :32:31.platform and France looking for a spirit lifting moment moment here

:32:31. > :32:41.if they can. Here comes Larroyer and he will be

:32:41. > :33:00.

:33:00. > :33:09.put down on eight yards away so there, but it closed quickly.

:33:09. > :33:15.England Hanging on here. Picked up by Olivier Elima. Bosc and the

:33:15. > :33:19.England defenders flooding across. England's defenders were there in

:33:19. > :33:29.numbers. Talking about defenders, there is a

:33:29. > :33:29.

:33:29. > :33:39.man who knows about that, Stewart Pierce. He has a good friendship

:33:39. > :33:40.

:33:40. > :33:44.with Steve McNamara built over the last couple of years.

:33:44. > :33:49.He may learn something or vice versa.

:33:49. > :33:54.England spent, is it St George's Park, I think the England rugby

:33:54. > :34:01.league players sent sometime there this week doing a bit of training.

:34:01. > :34:07.So a bit of cross-code fertilisation going on.

:34:07. > :34:10.A change of scenery really helps you. You have got to keep that

:34:10. > :34:16.innovation in mind as to how you keep the players fresh at the end

:34:17. > :34:25.of a long season. Something different.

:34:25. > :34:30.26-and-a-half minutes of the season remaining. Chase with a kick.

:34:30. > :34:35.It is one of those decisions when you are 30 points up and it gives

:34:35. > :34:38.the French a rest and you think, "Why didn't we find an attacking

:34:38. > :34:48.kick where we might get the ball back?" It is one of those going

:34:48. > :35:24.

:35:24. > :35:31.moment. It is a grip that the English are putting on. They have

:35:31. > :35:35.lost possession again and Pala the person who was guilty.

:35:35. > :35:45.They have had a fair share of the penalty counsel, the French. It

:35:45. > :35:46.

:35:46. > :35:56.looks close. I think it is six or seven penalties. There is Watkins.

:35:56. > :35:57.

:35:57. > :36:07.He puts England 19 meters away. This is taken on by Gareth Hock.

:36:07. > :36:19.

:36:19. > :36:24.Saw a Frenchman coming right so Hock doctor Gareth Hock looks

:36:24. > :36:32.around and realises he is the dummy-half. Casty was off side and

:36:32. > :36:39.dived in. So a penalty here.

:36:39. > :36:43.They are going to take the tap. Are they? Yes, somebody will anyway,

:36:43. > :36:49.Rob Burrow is going to take the tap. England start again six tackles

:36:50. > :36:57.from here. Mossop. He plants them five yards out.

:36:57. > :37:04.This is Rob Burrow. Rangi Chase to his right. Chase collects. Sinfield.

:37:04. > :37:12.It goes to Tomkins, it is a second try of the night for Sam Tomkins

:37:12. > :37:22.and England have their sixth. 34-0. Smiles are beginning to be painted

:37:22. > :37:28.

:37:28. > :37:36.space and it is Chase at the line to sin fooled and Tomkins opened a

:37:36. > :37:41.little gap and Watkins. Tomkins has three options, he can pass to

:37:41. > :37:47.Watkins or Josh Charnley, but when he is given that space, he is given

:37:47. > :37:57.every latitude to finish the play. There is three defence defence

:37:57. > :38:04.defenders. A little bit of space and he finished it.

:38:04. > :38:10.He became the highest scoring English player playing for England.

:38:10. > :38:20.It is not a clear record, is it, a lot of years England played as

:38:20. > :38:22.

:38:22. > :38:29.Great Britain. They go back to the 1930s. Here comes Sinfield.

:38:29. > :38:39.Six out of six and a smile from his fullback happy to see his four

:38:39. > :38:44.turned into six and 36-0. England lead. Chase going at the line. His

:38:44. > :38:48.partner in crime, Sinfield. Tomkins throws the dummy in and there

:38:48. > :38:58.aren't enough French defenders. Again, he had three three options.

:38:58. > :39:12.

:39:12. > :39:17.Nice play from England. It is French defenders. Rob Burrow speeds

:39:17. > :39:27.the game up. He is a nightmare if you are a

:39:27. > :39:35.

:39:35. > :39:41.Burrow has the look to his left. Again, it is a little slow. Rangi

:39:41. > :39:48.Chase with the short pass. The French defence hanging on. Gareth

:39:48. > :39:58.Hock has knocked on. I suppose that is the question about Gareth Hock

:39:58. > :39:58.

:39:58. > :40:03.at the highest level. When he is on, he is one of the world's best. But

:40:03. > :40:10.you see some areas and there is the discipline, the perceived

:40:10. > :40:13.discipline issues. That is the question hanging over him. The

:40:13. > :40:20.other thing I would throw-in there is does he offer you something

:40:20. > :40:30.against the better teams? I think he does. He is a risk but he is a

:40:30. > :40:36.

:40:36. > :40:46.risk worth taking. Remember him from that tremendous

:40:46. > :40:50.

:40:50. > :41:00.to lose cup run if few years ago. - - Toulouse. Yes he has been working

:41:00. > :41:02.

:41:02. > :41:08.really hard. This is Bentley down the blind side. That is a ball on

:41:08. > :41:14.the inside to Sadaoui. He has lost his chance to really test that

:41:14. > :41:17.English defence. Wonderful sidestep by Barthau. That gave him a chance

:41:17. > :41:22.but then he was surrounded by England players, trying to keep it

:41:22. > :41:32.alive. He is going to get a penalty, offside against England. What about

:41:32. > :41:32.

:41:32. > :41:40.that? It was a great break. Real we know the worst stuff. And it has

:41:40. > :41:46.given France this position. He is held up a couple of strides away

:41:46. > :41:53.from where he wants to be. France have a chance. But they are rather

:41:53. > :42:00.scruffy in the handling. They are lucky to get away with that. This

:42:00. > :42:08.is Sadaoui. England are a little bit open with the speed of the

:42:08. > :42:18.defensive line. That has left the pressure off. But Bousquet, lifting

:42:18. > :42:24.

:42:24. > :42:27.his head, it could be a foot race. He is quicker than most full-backs.

:42:27. > :42:32.Are you happy with what you're seeing from your England team-mate?

:42:32. > :42:37.It has been pretty good so far. We have made a few errors. But we have

:42:37. > :42:43.been looking at the defence. It is pretty good. We want to clean up --

:42:43. > :42:46.Kleenex and completions. So far, we are doing all right. There has been

:42:46. > :42:53.a lot of focus on these games. People may be thinking there is not

:42:53. > :43:00.as much going into that -- this. But we have had a good time in

:43:00. > :43:10.South Africa and things are going really well. They had a pre-

:43:10. > :43:10.

:43:10. > :43:13.tournament training camp in South Africa. Gareth Hock or Sam Tomkins

:43:13. > :43:19.has said something to the referee. It is a penalty. This is the part

:43:19. > :43:24.of the game when it is getting a little scrappy for England. It is

:43:24. > :43:27.another cameo performance from Gareth Hock. He was offside at the

:43:27. > :43:31.play-the-ball. He was still frustrated and then he gave the

:43:31. > :43:41.penalty away. That is the risky while going to take if you play him

:43:41. > :43:48.

:43:48. > :43:55.in the World Cup. Baitieri never lacks effort. Bentley waits

:43:55. > :44:02.patiently. Bemba is having a go at Gareth Hock. He has done well to

:44:02. > :44:09.keep it alive. Baitieri taking on the England line again. Almost

:44:09. > :44:13.getting himself through. Bousquet flicking it left. He has to come

:44:13. > :44:22.back to the middle. He is sandwiched between English

:44:22. > :44:25.shoulders. Bosc with the kick and chase but it is taken by Rangi

:44:25. > :44:30.Chase that he might go the distance! He has beaten the first

:44:30. > :44:40.man. He is being chased. Rangi Chase looks in touch -- inside, it

:44:40. > :44:44.is Sam Tomkins on the angle. It is Ryan Hall. His 4th try of the night.

:44:44. > :44:54.Ryan Hall finishes an eye-catching England moved from one end to the

:44:54. > :45:11.

:45:11. > :45:21.other in the blink of an eye. And the Bosc kit, it go straight to

:45:21. > :45:25.Rangi Chase. And he has gone. He beats Bemba. He has Soubeyras

:45:25. > :45:30.chasing him for his life. Sam Tomkins is trying to find space. A

:45:30. > :45:34.few French defenders trying to scramble. That is the easiest score

:45:34. > :45:39.all night for Ryan Hall. Good defensive effort sweeping behind

:45:39. > :45:45.the line on the kick, finds half a break, gives it to Sam Tomkins and

:45:45. > :45:49.Ryan Hall finishes it really well. Nice call from England. Kevin

:45:49. > :45:57.Sinfield has got his easiest kick of the night. Six out of six on the

:45:57. > :46:06.touchlines. What is he like when he pressure is on, under the sticks?

:46:06. > :46:11.Pretty good as it turns out. Seven out of seven. Not quite a five-star

:46:11. > :46:15.performance tonight from England but not far away. It has been a

:46:15. > :46:18.pretty good effort. They have done everything they had been asked.

:46:18. > :46:23.They have spread the game up in the second half which has led to issue

:46:23. > :46:33.more opportunities. They look physically better than the French.

:46:33. > :46:33.

:46:33. > :46:43.The French need to keep tackling. That was straight into the hands of

:46:43. > :46:59.

:46:59. > :47:09.boots. -- it is a chance. Sean O'Loughlin, the resistance is

:47:09. > :47:23.

:47:23. > :47:27.Tomkins, back on the inside. He does well to hang on in the end.

:47:27. > :47:31.This is the final tackle. Kevin Sinfield again, measuring that kick.

:47:31. > :47:36.But not measuring it as he would have wanted. This is a chance for

:47:36. > :47:43.the French. I think he was caught in two minds. That affected the

:47:43. > :47:48.quality of his kick. There was no chance of an attacking player

:47:48. > :47:58.getting anywhere near that. You can join us on the red button forum at

:47:58. > :48:07.

:48:07. > :48:14.chances for the World Cup next year. They have sold so many tax --

:48:14. > :48:24.tickets already. It has taken off really well. Sam Tomkins will make

:48:24. > :48:45.

:48:45. > :48:53.sure it goes nowhere near the Watkins, good hands from him. Josh

:48:53. > :48:57.Charnley putting the skates on. They have dragged him out of play.

:48:57. > :49:04.The French defender has done really well. I think he had a bit of

:49:04. > :49:12.assistance from Bosc but he has done pretty well. I think it is

:49:12. > :49:17.Pala. There is the tackle comparison. Three sets extra from

:49:17. > :49:21.England. It is the relentlessness from England. They have done very

:49:21. > :49:31.well tonight. They have set themselves up when they have far

:49:31. > :49:47.

:49:47. > :49:54.too. They have been a few errors. - making sure he doesn't get too far.

:49:54. > :50:01.Here comes Bemba, still showing plenty of enthusiasm. It is Gigot

:50:01. > :50:05.again. I think he is off to Australia very soon, Gigot. Looking

:50:05. > :50:09.forward to some warmer weather than he is enjoying at the moment. This

:50:09. > :50:14.is the final tackle in this set. Just over 10 minutes of the game

:50:14. > :50:19.remaining and it has been knocked on. I think that is a reflection of

:50:19. > :50:29.the physicality of the tackle that he was involved in a little earlier

:50:29. > :50:30.

:50:30. > :50:36.from Gigot. Kallum Watkins is taking the claim for that but he

:50:36. > :50:46.was nowhere near it! I looked at him and he dropped the ball.

:50:46. > :51:00.

:51:00. > :51:04.Sportsmen these days do love a high McIlorum standing, waiting. Has he

:51:04. > :51:08.done enough in the games that we have seen him in done enough to

:51:08. > :51:15.suggest he will be in the World Cup squad? Answer that in a second.

:51:15. > :51:21.Here comes Gareth Ellis. It is the flying machine just to his left.

:51:21. > :51:27.Scooting away. Another England try. 10 minutes to go and they are

:51:28. > :51:36.running away with it. 46-0 the lead right now with the kick to come.

:51:36. > :51:39.Rob Burrow the latest to add his name to the scoresheet. Great play

:51:39. > :51:44.from Chris Hill. It is superb. He puts Gareth Ellis straight through

:51:44. > :51:53.the hole. Rob Burrow was one of the best support players in the game.

:51:53. > :52:03.Gareth Ellis just have to look for him. He was on the fly. He really

:52:03. > :52:27.

:52:27. > :52:37.and from Kevin Sinfield. No short cuts are taken. That is the way he

:52:37. > :52:54.

:52:54. > :52:59.uprights. 48-0. Rob Burrow the latest of the eight try-scorers.

:52:59. > :53:09.Chris Hill, fantastic. That is what he offers. We have said about the

:53:09. > :53:32.

:53:32. > :53:42.season he has had. Great support again. Michael McIlorum, has he

:53:42. > :53:42.

:53:43. > :53:52.done enough? Not for me. He does not offer the things -- the same

:53:53. > :54:23.

:54:23. > :54:33.things. Every time we talk about Talking about dragging in, he

:54:33. > :55:04.

:55:04. > :55:09.The frustration is clear. There is six minutes of the game

:55:09. > :55:18.remaining. You have the honour of picking the Man of the Match?

:55:18. > :55:28.think he will be in a white shirt. Gareth Hock? No, not today.

:55:28. > :55:32.Here is Hall. McIlorum at dummy-half and England

:55:32. > :55:38.looking to advance again. Ten meters short of the half-way

:55:38. > :55:48.line. The ball has gone clear. Lost control, the referee says and

:55:48. > :55:48.

:55:48. > :56:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 164 seconds

:56:38. > :56:43.it looks as if he is in a bad way towards Teddy Sadaoui. Five tackles

:56:43. > :56:53.to go taken in by Vincent Duport. The French are hoping to get

:56:53. > :56:58.something on the score sheet before the end of this game. Here is

:56:58. > :57:03.Mmathieu Griffi. It is an untudy way to give -- untidy way to give a

:57:03. > :57:10.penalty away and the French will have another set here.

:57:11. > :57:20.So here comes Mmathieu Griffi solidly in once more. Met by stern

:57:21. > :57:33.

:57:33. > :57:38.English shoulders ready to stop him It is picked up by Rob Burrow.

:57:38. > :57:43.England with a lot of yardage to cover. Brian Noble had the thinking

:57:43. > :57:50.cap on and he has come up with his Man of the Match. Who is your Man

:57:50. > :57:58.of the Match? Owe O'Loughlin and Ellis played well. There has been

:57:58. > :58:06.great touches with Sinfield and Tomkins, but to score five tries in

:58:06. > :58:13.a Test Match is pretty special. Four tries in a Test Match even. I

:58:13. > :58:18.just just just chalk one off. It is special and it is a reflection of

:58:18. > :58:22.the quality of England's team work, but Ryan Hall is the Man of the

:58:22. > :58:27.Match. If he scores a fifth now, I will be

:58:27. > :58:37.worried that you know the future! But a terrific effort, four tries

:58:37. > :58:58.

:58:58. > :59:08.from Ryan Hall, he is the Man of penalties against your team. This

:59:08. > :59:14.

:59:14. > :59:19.is silly. Tell them to sort it out, Two and a bit minutes to go.

:59:19. > :59:24.Looking for the restoration of a little pride here. Bosc picks up

:59:24. > :59:34.and scoops it forward. He has not been as much of an influence as he

:59:34. > :59:35.

:59:35. > :59:41.would have liked. Again, it is untidy handling. They

:59:41. > :59:46.try to get it back. It is picked up by Gigot. They want to play it

:59:46. > :59:51.quickly. The coach looks on hoping his side can get a try here in the

:59:51. > :00:01.late stages. Bosc carrying it in. Just about five meters away, that's

:00:01. > :00:07.

:00:07. > :00:14.all. Gigot, oh it is missed. Completely missed and they will get

:00:14. > :00:20.their try. Pala they are going to go to a replay. It is confident.

:00:20. > :00:30.The referee needs a couple of questions asking by the video

:00:30. > :00:31.

:00:31. > :00:35.referee on side, off side? So an anxious moment for the French, not

:00:35. > :00:45.necessarily from an English point of view because they know this game

:00:45. > :00:58.

:00:58. > :01:05.ball and knows it. A great picture there.

:01:05. > :01:10.I am sure it is Teddy Sadaoui who gets it down, isn't it? Is it Pala?

:01:10. > :01:16.Here we go, a try is given. It is confirmed by the video referee so

:01:16. > :01:20.the French get their last moment of consolation, Mathias Pala has

:01:20. > :01:30.managed to touch it down and it will be the final act of a game

:01:30. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:42.that has been very much a comfortable victory for England.

:01:42. > :02:04.

:02:04. > :02:11.So Bosc with his last kick of the to add two points to the this final

:02:11. > :02:14.game of this 2012 season. He put it wide. 48-4. We might have time to

:02:14. > :02:24.restart the game. But there is only a matter of seconds remaining.

:02:24. > :02:27.

:02:27. > :02:33.We have been advocating a kick all night. Here is Sinfield.

:02:33. > :02:39.This will be the last tackle taken in by Mmathieu Griffi.

:02:39. > :02:48.That is it. A night for Ryan Hall, four tries for him that took him

:02:48. > :02:57.past the the 150 landmark target. All eyes now on the World Cup next

:02:57. > :03:07.year. This try series has been won convincingly, England 48, France 4,

:03:07. > :03:07.

:03:07. > :03:14.That's it. The is the end of the 2012 season and England have won

:03:14. > :03:18.the Autumn International Series. They beat the French 44-6. Last

:03:18. > :03:24.week 48-4ment tonight, here at Salford 30 tries for England over

:03:24. > :03:29.the course of the series. They conceded four. Josh Charnley on the
