15 Brice Dulin 8/10 Has been in outstanding form for champions Castres this season. Brilliant under the high ball and made Yoann Huget's second try with a clever kick.
14 Yoann Huget 7/10 The Toulouse wing scored with his first touch and added a second with a brilliant opportunist effort a quarter of an hour later. He was always a threat.
13 Mathieu Bastareaud 4/10 The Toulon centre is a wrecking ball, but he hardly delivered a pass and was well marshalled by England's Burrell and Twelvetrees. Will come under pressure for his place.
12 Wesley Fofana 5/10 Scored a spectacular try at Twickenham last year, but hardly had a run at England's defence. His partnership with Bastareaud never really clicked.
11 Maxime Médard 6/10 Always looked a threat on the counterattack and helped make Jack Nowell's debut uncomfortable. The Toulouse man hardly put a foot wrong.
10 Jules Plisson 5/10 Philippe Saint-André's big gamble. The 22-year-old debutant likes to play on the gainline, but had little opportunity, and dropping François Trinh-Duc may have been premature.
9 Jean-Marc Doussain 5/10 Morgan Parra will put the Toulouse scrum-half under pressure for his place when he returns after a knee injury. Like Parra h can kick goals, but replacement Maxime Machenaud looked sharper.
1 Thomas Domingo 6/10 An absolute powerhouse in the scrum and gave England a few problems before the interval. Something of a mystery why he was taken off after the break.
2 Benjamin Kayser 5/10 He will now do well to hold on to the No2 shirt for the game against Italy next Sunday. Kayser was too quiet and Dimitri Szarzewski is much more dangerous as a replacement.
3 Nicolas Mas 5/10 The Montpellier prop scrummaged well but looks a bit of a fading force. When he left the field after the break he looked relieved. Under pressure too.
4 Alexandre Flanquart 5/10 Was outplayed by Lawes and Launchbury, and Yoann Maestri's muscular presence after the interval as a replacement will give Saint-André food for thought.
5 Pascal Papé 6/10 The Stade Français lock admitted his captaincy is temporary but did enough to convince he will lead France this tournament. Improved as the game wore on.
6 Yannick Nyanga 7/10 Easily France's best forward. Nyanga was a constant threat with the ball in hand and his tackling was as forceful as ever. A superb effort.
7 Bernard Le Roux 6/10 He may only be keeping the seat warm for Thierry Dusautoir but he was effective for 40 minutes before being replaced. A good defensive effort.
8 Louis Picamoles 7/10 The strong man from Toulouse did not have things his own way against Billy Vunipola (who he taught a few lessons in the Heinken Cup last autumn), but a solid display.
