Super Rugby teams round 13: Frost to No.6, Noah back for Brumbies, Aubrey starts for Reds, Pone in for Rebels
The Brumbies will be looking to push towards the top two when they host the lowly Crusaders, the Reds face the tough day time…
England stayed on course for the Grand Slam and a first Six Nations rugby title since 2003 by beating defending champions France 17-9 in a battle of attrition at Twickenham on Saturday.
The northern hemisphere heavyweights went into halftime locked at 9-9 thanks to three penalties apiece by England flyhalf Toby Flood and France scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili.
But a 42nd-minute try by fullback Ben Foden and a penalty by replacement Jonny Wilkinson, which put him back on top of the all-time list of Test pointscorers, pushed England clear and sealed a third straight victory.
England must still beat Scotland at home and Ireland away to complete the Grand Slam.
The defeat ended France’s eight-match winning streak in the Six Nations.
