It was round two of the Six Nations and France had just been beaten by England – or rather had beaten themselves. Thrice in an opening 50 minutes where they had their foot on the hosts’ throat, France had moved to within metres of the English line only to cough up the ball.

PARIS (Reuters) -France set a record for most tries scored in a single Six Nations campaign when Yoram Moefana touched down in their home game against Scotland on Saturday. It was the 30th try for Fabien Galthie's side - one more than England's 29 in the 2001 championship.
