‘Don’t slip up with Scots’

Tomos Williams who released Justin Tipuric to complete the length-of-the-field score.

Sniping

England came again, Youngs capping his man-of-the-match display with the sniping break which led to Tuilagi bagging England’s third try.

And that might have been that had Tuilagi not piled into North after Henry Slade had cut down the Wales wing.

Ref Ben O’keefe reached for the red card and the Leicester centre apologised to North before leaving the field.

Wales saw a ray of hope and Dan Biggar went for it, reaching out to score and then convert their second try.

Tipuric then claimed his second score as the clock went red, leaving England fans anxiously counting down the final seconds – and wondering how on earth it had got to that point.

FRANCE can edge closer to a first Grand Slam since 2010 with victory at Murrayfield today.

But rookie fly-half Romain Ntamack (left), who has helped his side win their first three Six Nations games, has warned of complacency setting in.

Ntamack’s task has been made easier with Finn Russell’s exile after the Racing 92 star’s breakdown in his relationship with coach Gregor Townsend.

He said: “Just because there’s no Russell, we can’t tell ourselves ‘OK the game is won’.

“Russell’s an extraordinary player, he shows that every weekend with Racing and every time he plays for Scotland.

“Russell or no Russell, it changes nothing in our plans. We have to be careful of all their players, be that their forwards or backs, as they have enormous talent.”

France coach Fabien Galthie said: “We hear the praise. But the danger is there and we are well aware of it.”

Ater two tryless defeats, Scotland boosted their confidence by keeping a clean sheet to beat Italy in Rome last time out.

Townsend said: “The precision, decision-making and effort in our attacking game will have to be very good in order to get in behind them.”
