England 15-21 France

England 15-21 France: There is a bright opening at Twickenham with players fighting for World Cup squad places

Olly Barkley has certainly put on his kicking boots as he slots four out of four penalties in sunny west London

But Fabian Pelous celebrates his record 111th cap by scoring the only try of the first half to keep France in touch at 12-11

It may just be a friendly, but England are put through a more physical examination than last week's romp against Wales

Andy Gomersall's drop goal extends England's lead to 15-11, but Sebastien Chabal's late try clinches victory for France

Scotland 31-21 Ireland: The Six Nations rivals clash at Murrayfield for their final World Cup warm-up game

Scotland dominate the first half and Allister Hogg, Euan Murray and Andy Henderson touch down to put them 19-6 up

Henderson adds a second try to extend the Scot's lead, but the hosts then sit back and allow Ireland back into the game

Ireland reduce the deficit to 24-21 through tries from Isaac Boss and Andrew Trimble midway through the second half

But Henderson has the final say, crossing at the corner after juggling the ball to cap a fine win for the home side
