Did anyone watch the France game? How did TJ play ? I read that he scored two tries but nothing else

I watched it and him and Wellsby were the two standouts.
Didn’t make a single mistake
Defended a 2 v 1 successfully
Nothing got past him all game
Scored 2 try’s
Set up Wellsby for his try after a good run and offload
Carved through 6 players and sent a wonder pass to set up Handley try
He practically pulled England from 0-8 nil behind to being in the lead.
The left edge was potent. The right edge of Handley and Newman got targeted early by France and leaked yards and try. That edge made a few knock ons with plays breaking down etc too.
There were a few players that shouldn’t get in again for a while like Newman, Nicholson who are nowhere near ready. The pack was very poor all game and didn’t get on top hardly at all.
Between Wellsby, Johnstone and Lewis that’s where most of the damage was done.

But apart from that he did nothing else though.
