Flyhalf Fin Smith, making his first start, played a pivotal role. "In the first half, I felt overwhelmed, but the win is exhilarating," Smith expressed. England took advantage of French mistakes to level at halftime, then pushed ahead as Daly's replacement try secured their fourth touchdown right before the final whistle.
