A disjointed display from France was enough to secure a bonus-point 33-9 win over USA in Fukuoka City to maintain its perfect start to the Rugby World Cup.

One of the few French players to emerge with credit after the match was flyhalf Camille Lopez whose boot contributed six points from the tee and played a telling role in setting up three of the five tries scored.
