HOW ENGLAND PAID THE PENALTY... 15 TIMES

-

HAVING conceded 13 penalties against Scotland, England did even worse against France, conceding 15, the most in the Eddie Jones era. 8 MINS: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Mako Vunipola carries and Mathieu Bastareaud forces the penalty. 11: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Joe Launchbury takes the ball in, Anthony Watson tries to clear Paul Gabrillagu­es but he holds it in. 14: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Chris Robshaw makes an excellent scooping pick-up, but has no support and he cannot release it. 19: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Launchbury takes the ball in, but Guilhem Guirado locks on to the ball before the English support arrives. 24: OFFSIDE — (defending). Gael Fickou brought down but the English defence is offside. Maxime Machenaud kicks the goal. 30: OFFSIDE — (defending). England offside in midfield for the second time in six minutes. 32: OFFSIDE — (defending). Visitors are caught offside — Maro Itoje is the culprit. Machenaud hits the penalty. 36: OFFSIDE — (defending). England are offside twice in quick succession. Machenaud knocks over a third penalty. 45: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Vunipola smashes into contact; his only support is George Ford, who cannot stop Bastareaud holding it in. 46: BREAKDOWN — hands in ruck (attacking). England use hands illegally after counter-ruck. 48: FOUL PLAY — high tackle (defending). Watson tackles Benjamin Fall round the neck — yellow card and penalty try. 54: FOUL PLAY — shoving (attacking). Elliot Daly pushes Machenaud in the back. 61: BREAKDOWN — hands in the ruck (defending). James Haskell tries for too long to nick ball. Machenaud hits the points. 65: BREAKDOWN — holding on (attacking). Sam Simmonds is isolated and Yacouba Camara is immovable. 77: BREAKDOWN — not rolling away (defending). Robshaw stuck in ruck.
