6N 2023 England v France
-
Sean Edwards is a name behind a fair few bloody noses for England in the 6N.
Dreadful performance from us. As Borthwick said right after the game: “they won all the collisions, offensively and defensively.” Says it all really. Our pack was anonymous. All the haters for Smith (and yes, he isn’t the answer) should recognise the soggy, sinking platform he had to work with.
As for France, they’ll give anyone a run in the RWC. -

Just what was our game plan? I’m buggered if I could see one.
I think it was there - get Smith to create opportunities by providing a solid forward base and quick ball - but the French nullified it by being aggressive at the breakdown and fast on forward defence. That put pressure on Smith and the whole team under pressure. The inability to run a Plan B was the real concern. There were signs of that plan B in the 2nd half when OF came on but that didn't last.

One thing's for sure. It's going to be an interesting selection v Ireland.

In France at the mo. Les Rostbifs are now known as Les Misérables.
I doubt it. Given misérable doesn’t mean miserable in French. Unless it’s an English-speaking joke.

It does mean wretched though. Which fits even better.

This stat I found on Reddit. If accurate they scored a try for every 16 seconds spent in the English 22.
France were only in England's 22 for 1 minute and 51 seconds.

That is far too difficult to call.
