Three late tries spared France's blushes as they secured a bonus-point World Cup win over the United States in Fukuoka City. France coach Jacques Brunel made 12 changes to the team that began the tournament with a 23-21 win over Argentina and for an hour they looked a disjointed outfit. Full-back Thomas Ramos added the conversion to make it 7-0 but Sale Sharks favourite MacGinty's penalty goal kept the minnows in touch. International Rugby NewsletterLopez's conversion made it 19-9 and France cut loose in the last 10 minutes with two further tries from their replacements.
