England fell to a disappointing defeat against France in their Wheelchair Rugby League re-match in Leeds.

Jeremy Bourson scored a hat-trick for the visitors as they gained revenge for last year's defeat by England in the World Cup final.

England lacked composure and direction and struggled defensively, particularly in the opening half.

They closed the gap in the second half but France controlled the game.
