France beat the USA 33-9 as Camille Lopez pulled the strings in a strong second-half performance. Scores were close at 12-9 but the French pack dominated in the final quarter, allowing France to score some nice tries and make it a comfortable win at full time.

The USA were in the game until the 66th minute as France made some bad errors, but experience proved the difference as France scored came right late in the game, getting the bonus-point win.

France play Tonga next in Pool C, followed by a crucial clash against England that could determine their quarter final spot.

    USA forwards were surprisingly impressive vs a very clumsy French team. I've stopped to count the knock-ons at a certain point. Fitness and experience logically make the difference in the last quarter. On a side note: Abyssal performance by Ben O'Keefe in the set-pieces. Maybe the worst one of this competition.
