Former England centre Will Greenwood was full of praise for the towering 22-year-old:



Second-half tries from Michael Hooper and substitute Nick Phipps heaped further embarrassment upon the French, with hooker Guilhem Guirado providing the visitors' only try. Scrum-half Maxime Machenaud and fullback Brice Dulin added five and three points from the tee, respectively.

Bernard Foley was in fine kicking form for the hosts and notched four of his five attempted conversions along with two penalties.

Rucking Good Stats broke down the fly-half's performance versus that of opposite number Remi Tales at the halfway mark:
