Sinfield getting ready with the hair dryer

Not that Borthwick needs one.

[Tim]

Genge
Sinckler
Itoje
Farrell

Oh you really hate to see such great and humble guys suck a big one.

[Bones]

@Tim I don't get the Farrell hate, but fuck yes to the others. Farrell doesn't seem like that blustery piston wristed gibbon, he just gets away with shithouse tackling.

[Bones]

That's really bizarre the back markers swapping when Dupont hit the 50-22. What the fuck were they trying to achieve?

First half is worst England performance I've seen for a while. Zero direction, silly mistakes & an attack like a toothless squirrel.

Eddie Jones must being feeling rather smug watching this.

[Jailbreak7]

@Bones Think he's mellowed with experience and age.

[Tim]

@Bones A lot of his team mates hate him, because he will go to town on them with yelling on the field. Rugby Report Card did an interview with one of his Scottish team mates, and he explained why a South African team mate punched him out while playing for the Barbarians.

Eddie seems to have a pattern - come in as a savior, have a good 2 years, reach a Final, manage a transition to mediocrity and depart leaving an utter-fucked team. A reverse Midas

[Bones]

Two quick tries to England and the face of the game changes...

[Victor Meldrew]

Farrell on. Shocked I tell you.

[Toddy]

Half the French team were offside at the quick tap.

Is it for Lawrence though?

[Bones]

There's one...

[Tim]

Good try.

Farrell more direct.

Slade I think.

[Victor Meldrew]

Smith fucks up again after England get some momentum

Farrell more direct.

Also giving some direction

[Jailbreak7]

The PI contingent coming on for France won't like these conditions.....and get mullered in the scrum.

[Victor Meldrew]

French speed around the ruck is impressive - winning the collision battle.

[Bones]

Every french try has been like an unopposed training run.
