England 26-18 France: Brian Ashton's reshuffled side attempt to derail France's Grand Slam ambitions at Twickenham Toby Flood is one of 11 changes from the Ireland game and the fly-half keeps the score level after France's early penalty Jason Robinson almost jinks through David Skrela and Dimitri Yachvili but England are soon behind to another penalty David Strettle puts in a crucial tackle on Raphael Ibanez as mistakes continue to hamper both sides' attacking efforts Recalled captain Mike Catt endures a few nervous moments and penalties mean England trail 9-12 at the break But a break from Catt after the restart leaves Flood in space and puts England ahead with the first try of the game Flood converts his own score but is soon forced off with a dead leg and Shane Geraghty comes on as a replacement Yachvili takes over kicking duties from the injured Skrela and two penalties edge France 16-18 ahead A penalty from Geraghty on his debut makes it 19-18, and the fly-half then breaks brilliantly from inside his own half Mike Tindall gathers Geraghty's offload and goes over under the posts for a converted try that makes it 26-18 The score remains 26-18 at the whistle and Catt celebrates a triumphant return to international rugby France reflect on broken Grand Slam dreams, while the championship title itself will be decided on the final weekend
