France confirmed their status as one of the World Cup favourites with an impressive final warm-up match against Wales at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Wales may have been well beaten but showed enough to suggest that they, too, are finding some better form.
James Hook scored a try on the stroke of half-time, a feat England had failed to achieve in two losses to France.
But France were always ahead with tries from Jerome Thion, Pierre Mignoni, Aurelien Rougerie and Sebastien Bruno.
