Mikey Lewis goes over for a try for England

England put in a clinical performance to keep their World Cup hopes alive with a 82-0 victory over France.

Jez Litten came on in the 24th minute and immediately injected himself into the game with some good runs around the ruck.

Litten's hard work was rewarded in the second half as the hooker was in support to score a try in the 59th minute following a break from AJ Brimson.

Mikey Lewis made himself known almost instantly. The stand-off was subbed on in the 59th minute and 4 minutes later was on hand to support Jack Welsby to score his first try of the match.

Six minutes later, Lewis produced some individual brilliance to dance through the French defence and claim his second try.

Arthur Mourgue played the full 80 minutes in a difficult game for the Les Blues and Jordan Dezaria was selected on the bench but didn't get onto the field in Round Two.
