England have crashed out of the rugby world cup following defeat to France. Vincent Clerc and Maxime Medard score first-half tries in a French onslaught that left England trailing by 16 points at the break. Ben Foden pulled a try back in the dying minutes of the second half, but it wasn't enough to stop France claiming a deserved victory. Les Bleus will now meet Wales, who earlier beat Ireland, in the semi-finals. “It’s a painful experience,” said England fly-half Johnny Wilkinson after the game. “We gave ourselves a task in the second half… we fought hard and gave it everything… but it wasn’t our day.” The defeat leaves manager Martin Johnson with an uncertain future, following an uninspired tournament from his team.

Martin Johnson quits as England team manager  Martin Johnson Johnson was captain of the England team that won the 2003 World Cup England team manager Martin Johnson has stood down after three and a half years in the role. His decision follows a miserable World Cup which ended in quarter-final defeat by France and featured a series of on and off-field controversies. The 41-year-old won 84 caps for England as a player, leading the side to victory in the 2003 World Cup. Johnson and the Rugby Football Union's director of elite rugby Rob Andrew will hold a press conference at 1600 GMT. More to follow. BBC |
