PARIS (Reuters) - France produced a dominant forward performance and withstood a late England fightback to secure a 25-20 victory in a World Cup warm-up match on Saturday.

The French pack overpowered their opponents, who beat them 19-14 at Twickenham last week, in the first half and the hosts led 15-6 at halftime.
