In a gripping Six Nations encounter, England captain Maro Itoje lauded his team's audacity and courage after Elliot Daly's late try secured a 26-25 victory over France, rescuing a match that had appeared to be slipping away.

Fin Smith, named man-of-the-match, seamlessly converted, reclaiming the role from a struggling Marcus Smith.

Coach Steve Borthwick emphasized ambition and risk-taking, leading to a satisfying result he called a testament to the team's perseverance.
