In a shocking Six Nations result, France scores seven tries to crush England, marking their largest-ever defeat at home.
France delivered a rugby masterclass at Twickenham on Saturday, running in seven tries to hand England their heaviest-ever loss on home soil, 53-10. The defeat, which came in front of a stunned crowd, saw France dominate from start to finish.
At halftime, England were already trailing by a significant margin, 3-27, and their performance only worsened in the second half. Damian Penaud scored two tries, while Charles Ollivon, Thibault Flament, Freddie Steward, and others contributed to a one-sided scoreline.
England’s woes were compounded by a poor tactical decision by head coach Steve Borthwick, with his call on Marcus Smith failing to inspire a comeback. The defeat left Borthwick reflecting on what he described as the “stark reality” of the team’s performance.
Despite the loss, England’s resolve will now be tested as they face a long road to recover from this historic humiliation. Meanwhile, France’s stunning victory reaffirmed their position as one of the premier rugby teams in the world.
