    Meh! I wouldn’t pick any of the French players in a combined TRC team.

    Hmmm. N'Tamack and Dupont were the best players of the tournament, Marchant is the best hooker, Vakatawa the most dangerous runner and Aldritt is a machine.

    A disappointing end to a somewhat lacklustre tournament. Good on the French lads for bringing some real intensity and fronting up big time. They would have been deserving winners. England. What to say about England? The game plan was pretty much the same as against Ireland but where was the intensity? Curry and Billy V apart which forwards put a dent in the French line? We still kicked shitloads of ball away but we did it badly and the chase was usually poor as well. So no pressure built. The thing that really shat the bed though was our decision making and execution at those critical moments. Both were MIA. We got over the line, just, but that should not hide a shithouse performance.

    On reflection, one area France were outstanding was kick reception. Neuterred a weapon England has become very overreliant on.

    @Catogrande so this is the only test that Beckenham had a jersey on a seat...

    @Bones That's cool. Too many there for me to recognise any individually.

    Poor kicking and an even poorer chase hands them that initiative. Having said that Dulin the fullback did take the high ball very well.

    Corellation or causation do you think? Never liked Beckenham...

    Charlie don't surf!

    Or play rugby, so I'm confused about the Nam forward pack analogy

    I didn't realise that England got jetted by their crowd! Bad sign

    There are plenty of reasons why the rugby was not dazzling, but even while securing two trophies the lack of vision is alarming

    @Machpants Shaping as a semi-final exit. Contenders will know they have to train specifically to beat Eddie Jones' band of merry orcs. Eddie may just be focusing on the hosts...
