    10-0 to the orcettes going into half time. Must be 120 tackles by France

    Fancy penalising that tackle. No injury, no risk of injury and the crowd loved it.

    I always thought that the interpretation was that you had to bring the player to ground and not drop or drive the upper body.
    That was just a good textbook smash that made the tackled player’s feet go up

    @Crucial I only saw the one replay but I thought she didn't go past the horizontal and landed on her back, it was her own momentum that tipped her too, it wasn't a tip tackle as such. Pretty much exactly what you'd show for textbook as legal.

    Very strange decisions being made.
    England are bulldozing France in the scrum. Get a scrum penalty in front of the posts and kick to a lineout.
    Then get held up.
    Could have had a penalty try.

    They are a really really boring team. But it works.

    Getting bored of the English Comms continually saying how England player X y or z never makes mistakes, just after they made one. A complete circle jerk there

    There’s a lot of “selling the game” in women’s rugby. You should hear the FPC games.
    No worse than Oz league commentary really.

    Lame. But they'll still win.

    I just figured out that the red dribbles around their collars are badly drawn St George's crosses

    Gorgeous line by the wing. It doesn't get much better than that.

    France keep taking them on up the middle and playing into their strengths. Fiji showed that if you run hard at the fringes or one and a half out you will make ground and their big forwards don’t look as flash
