France v England

[Billy Tell]

I like the way France play at speed and bring their props onto the ball at pace then immediately go again.

@billy-tell the angles and short passing is divine

[MiketheSnow]

Fickou is the Mekon

Fickou is the Mekon

He's the same to France as Gibson -Park is to Ireland

[Billy Tell]

Definitely some French nerves. But if those passes stick...

French defence making thier pack look as effective as ours

[Bones]

Not flash by the French defender. Should've done a Hollywood for obstruction

[Toddy]

Two rucks in a row Underhill has just dived straight over off his feet in front of the ref who yells play on.

[taniwharugby]

@toddy an extremely poor passage of play for England too, panic and headless chook stuff

[taniwharugby]

really dislike that rule!!

[sparky]

France heading for a well-deserved Grand Slam. Outstanding Rugby from them again. Some team this.

[Billy Tell]

Would have given motm to one of the French back row.

Agree. Dupont is awesome and played brilliantly but he gets watched so much everything he does is noticed and mentioned.

[Bovidae]

Is Alldritt the best no.8 around? He is for me.

[Billy Tell]

Reckon France is the only NH side that has a realistic chance for 2023. I’d say them SA NZ and you can never rule out the Aussies. Ireland would have to get past France or us in any case.

[Catogrande]

Well done Les Crapauds. Well deserved and so good to watch.

Aside from the rather annoying fact that they are much better than us the other important moments in the game we’re I feel the Teflon hands the French had in the first half. 2 or was it 3 butchered tries. Could have been ugly. The Nowell/Jaminet penalty issue - I felt sanity prevailed but was holding my breath. The threebiggest fuck ups for England? The failure to give new blood a chance over the last 15 months or so. Bizarre selections and the failure to secure the services of Shaun Edwards for the umpteenth time.
