England try-scorer Tom Croft has described his side's 24-22 Six Nations win over France in Paris as a "massive" result.
The flanker showed some neat footwork to score his team's third try of the afternoon after Manu Tuilagi and Ben Foden had both touched down.
"It's absolutely massive. We said after the last match against Wales that we have to take that extra step when it comes to seeing teams off," Croft told BBC Sport.
"We really dug in, it was close at times. It was massive effort from the boys. It was great to have the English support over here in France and it's another great step for this side. As a team performance it was absolutely huge today and obviously we've got another tough test at home against Ireland next week."
Despite a defeat to Wales two weeks ago, England can still win the tournament on Saturday when they host the Irish at Twickenham.
