Lol he is getting a battering.. Fair play he saved that though, all on his own!
Well toys,the times,BT rugby show and sky all seem to be in disagreement with you. You ex captain has described the wales game as a chance for revenge and a grand slam decider. 🙄
Hmmm, that didn't look like a knock on to me.
Textbook try!
So far so good 😀
My daughter has decided she likes the green players.

???
Find your sense of humour man.
Forward pass!
Apparently not!
I agree that the rule should go back to the ball needs to go backwards though, bollocks to this momentum thing..
Forza Italia! Funny how jiffy sees better up in the box than the excellently placed linesman. I suppose him and AA sharing a pair of eyes make it harder for him to judge 😀
Ducky I think you've misunderstand me, you know I am an unwavering england fan right?
Mmmmm seem to have gone to sleep, come on Wales
Stags & Hens are getting bored. 🙁
Come on Wales...set the game on fire before they all get properly pished.
Jings!
The septic in me is convinced wales will keep/get this game back, but bloody hell that was ace.
😕 My prediction of Wales making it a tight game mainly through making life difficult for themselves seems to be coming true
Scoreline as expected!
No probs for England or Ireland against this lot. AA will most likely be red faced.
Ohh god kryton, don't say that..

Nah. Wales are extending the carefully nurtured strategy of being shit in the Autumn but coming good during the 6N. All it is is making the Autumn lack of zest a bit longer to save their energy for when it matters 😉 Carefully developed strategy as I said 😀
Let's see how happy the English are in a few hours. France by 10 was my prediction
Oh I don't know - Gatland may have applied the AB's disease which is the usually exact opposite.
I am worried about England but am more optimistic than some, most top English team are playing well.
When are the bbc going to stop Eddie butlers arty slow mo shite!!

😯 Wales will be worse than in the Autumn?! Scotland will get a cricket score then 😆
English fans should be confident as Guscott has just said that the England team have a renewed enthusiasm for attacking and they've been working on it [i]all week[/i]. Well, better late than never 😆
Looking forward to this game even more than the Wales one. Should be great for the neutral
The French look more placid. Nerves or determination for England?
Arse.
Well my prediction was true.
😆
Help ma boab!
Oof.
Merde!
Burrell looking handy though. More forward than Barrits ever been in 5 mins.
Christ,rowntree's ears make uncomfortable viewing. Hope they don't cut to the england bench too much.
England are facing a long evening now!
Trust Farrel to get a cheap shot (elbow to the face) in 🙄
Punchy Farrel as ever.
Epitome of good refereeing IMO - got to laugh that wendy ball think they can introduce that level of discipline.
Yep, Y Nige is a refereeing legend.
Sigh. When are England going to stop playing one-up rugby? There's no guile at all, it's just bash bash bash lose ball.
Y Nige missed a blatant not rolling away by a Frenchman a few minutes ago.
Anyhow, great piece of enterprise from Care with the quick tap.
Love woodwards optimism...
Interesting... That'll be 16-18 then.
Too tight to call.
Edit,what did l say about care kryton?
Come on england
Goode should start next match.
Half time team talk worked then
Mistake taking Care off IMO
Edit,what did l say about care kryton?
Fair enough. God work by bald rick
Burrell and Barrits. Now, that's better.
Coriolanus , that surprised me Brian 😀
Lawes is a monster
England will be very dangerous later in the tournament if they can play like this but lose the errors. Certainly heading in the right direction.
France look better with Guy Martin and Dimitri on the field and you can see how much they miss Parra at times
Top work by England so far to get back into this.
Oh, and I love drop goals!
Oh dear.
Nyanga has been awesome. Immense passage of play by France for that.
*cries*
What a score! What a game!
bolx
Is there time?
Game over.
no
No. There isn't.
Poor decision making by England - two drop goal opportunities not taken
Good game though [i]grits teeth[/i]
Thread plastiques will be pleased.
What a great result, cracking game, 😆
On that performance I reckon England will have Wales though 🙂
Sat in a Cardiff pub with a very vocal pro French contingent, quel surprise 😆 But a great game bit nervous for Wales against both France and England.

I don't think you can judge Wales by that performance today. They've got their shit game out of the system and never looked like losing.
Will watch re run tomorrow but sounds like a cracker to come back into it after such a poor start, could have had cheap last minute tickets but out of the country 🙁

I have a sneaking suspicion Ireland will be delighted with the spotlight off them and be the ones to beat a few rounds in

Agreed. Fitter stronger and actually faster every on the park. Unlucky for England today, without a bit of luck France would have lost by two tries, but then never let a rugby ball bounce....

Sssshhh. 🙂
On that performance England will get roundly spanked by SA, NZ and Aus.
Proper rugby teams will not let crappy playing go.
great game to watch France and England............mistakes cost England... all a learning process as in reality all irrelevant as the target is 2015 world cup
some outstanding individual performances today by France and England
Farrell
Lawes
Launchberry
Brown
Nyanga
Picamoles
Forfana
Nigel Owens
French Front Row
Good spectacle but England should have closed it out.
I could watch Szarzewski all day. Kept France in it till the death and instrumental in the winning try. Class player.
Hands off Darcy he is my man crush 😀

There is a solution Piggie. 😉
#strangest
One game lost and Eng fans write off the 6N and start talking about the world cup 😀
Agreed. Fitter stronger and actually faster every on the park.
When was the last time you saw a Welsh player cramp up? 😆 Ok, a_a will return to his usual log in soon
I feel really sorry for May. Does anyone know if he will be out for a while?
England's problem is still no genuinely world class backs. Throw a couple in (centre and wing would be the best start) and you have a very decent team.
Also, why does Morgan not get more game time? Strategy to make the most of him as the opposition tires? He seems like the more solid option
I was loving the (still a rush, but not a mad rush) defence by England. Some fantastic performances for England. Hartley did well, youngs topped him, just. Lawes immense. Launchbury steady. Wood abrasive. Robshaw largely in control. Billy and mako top drawer. Care really surprised me, if he can keep his head, he is miles ahead of Ben youngs. I hate the way youngs always takes a step, classy scrum halves don't have to! Farrell very good. Twelvetrees had a pretty good allround game too. Morgan was a real impact. Brown and Goode were excellent, and reliable. Nowell likes a gamble, not necessarily a bad thing.
Quite worrying how Domingo neutralised Cole, Domingo is a superb scrummager, but Cole has to realise that sometimes he has to 'play the game' against tricky customer like that. First of all hold him, don't let him get under you, don't let him go down. Then when you've got the bugger steady you can crush him!
And a big shout out to Nigel Owens. Superbly referreed game.
France just got over the line, but actually, over eighty minutes England played the more rugby. Shame, but there you go.
Dmitry's blonde mullet. It really is a bit special.
How the chuff did we manage to throw that away!!!!!
In fact it was probably thrown away in the first 15 minutes, but after that it was a great performance.
