LONDON (Reuters) -England ended their painful losing run with a stunning 26-25 Six Nations bonus-point victory over France at Twickenham on Saturday as Elliot Daly’s last-gasp try punished the French for a catalogue of handling errors.

Those mistakes allowed England to reach halftime level at 7-7 and although they got their noses in front, Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s second try with five minutes left looked to have earned the French a fourth successive win over their old rivals.
