France Vs England, Six Nations 2020
-
Did that go off Lawes' head?
-
Try stands. Schoolboy error by the English. Not playing to whistle.
England freezing in the face of a passionate, noisy crowd.
France 17 England 0 after 20 minutes.
-
Better by the English forwards now. Good work by Curry at the breakdown.
-
Bouthier excellent for France.
-
Good lineout steal by England, but terrible hands by Farrell. Drops one cold.
-
England look very rusty, a shadow of the team they were in the Rugby World Cup. Poor composure, poor option-taking, a fullback who appears out of his depth.
Need some points before half time, then start again.
-
Very impressed by Dupont. Toulouse half back pulling the strings.
-
Nigel Owens pings Itoje again for offside. He has lost his cloak of invisibility from the RWC Semi.
-
Heading to half time. Lots of drop balls from both sides in the rain. A long way back for England.
-
Big scrum by England. Win a penalty. Farrell kicks long. England one more chance before half time.
-
15 phases in France's half but not much go-forward ball for England. Ball lost then kicked out by France.
France 17 England 0.
First time since 1988 England have failed to score in the first half of a 5/6 Nations game.
-
Back to the TV. Heard a Kiwi accent on the BBC panel. I thought who's that?
Dylan Hartley :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_closed_eyes:
-
Some of the pre-match comments from Comical Eddie about England "absolutely brutalizing a young French team" seem pretty comical at half-time.
Shaun Edwards has raised Frances defence to another level.
-
Martin Johnson talking so much good sense on the half time panel.
-
All England at the start of the Second Half.
-
Penalty right in front. Turn it down for a scrum.
