MAKE MINE A FIN & TONIC!

Dry spell finally over... Maro's in the mood to celebrate champagne moment for rookie 10

- ADAM HATHAWAY

MARO ITOJE insisted there is more where that came from after his England side fried the French and kept their Six Nations title hopes alive.

Rookie 10 Fin Smith, on his first start, made the 79th-minute winner for Elliot Daly and then kicked the vital conversion after taking over the tee from misfiring Marcus Smith.

But it was England's dogs of war Tom Curry, Ben Earl and Itoje who set up the victory up front in the vital last period - with a little help from the bench.

The Daly try grabbed England a bonus point as well which could prove vital for Steve Borthwick's crew in the final reckoning with two home games to come.

England almost played rope-adope, soaking up huge French pressure in the first half, then getting off the canvas in the second to lead 19-18.

They were back down when flying Louis Bielle-Barry scored his second try but Daly's score, off a perfect lineout, and Smith's kick, won it and Itoje reckons there is plenty left in the locker.
