England v France

Bath Rugby's George Ford and Jonathan Joseph played from the start as England recorded a dramatic 19-16 win on the opening weekend of the RBS 6 Nations against a resurgent French side.

However, they left it late in the day, with Worcester Warriors' Ben Te'o scoring 10 minutes from full-time to ensure a record-breaking 15th successive victory for England.

Fresh from signing a new contract with Bath last week, Zach Mercer was an influential figure in England's bonus-point 59-17 victory against France. The 19-year-old played an integral role in three of England's first half tries with a clever offload releasing back row colleague Tom Curry for their fourth try. Mercer's club teammate Josh Bayliss was also involved in the matchday squad at Sandy Park, Exeter.
