This MONSTER kick by France's fullback is the best clearance you'll see

France completely shut out England in their opening Six Nations match racing to a 17-0 lead in the first half.

Even when England had territorial advantage, France managed to get out of trouble in jaw-dropping fashion.

This kick by fullback Anthony Bouthier was the perfect example, with Bouthier roosting the ball more than 80-metres down field much to the delight of the Parisian crowd.

Despite a late fightback from England, the damage was done and France held on for a 24-17 win to put the rest of the Six Nation teams on notice.
