6N 2025: England v France

Amazing

England are becoming a pretty likeable side. Lots of passion with minimal dick-headed-ness.

@Victor-Meldrew Shame about Itoje, but the rest are okay.

Marcus, even the name smells of piston wristed gibbon.

Well enjoyed that game, and thought at times it got chaotic as buggery, kind of unlike England . Like @mariner4life I enjoy games that go that way for a while. It's where players stand up and get counted I think. Was a bloody good advert for game all together, well I thought.

Nope. Itâs just you.

A really exciting game, especially for the neutral. I was watching it in a bar in France with some decent french guys, all of us applauding any good play and shouting at the TV when our side fucked up and itâs fair to say that they shouted more than me, which makes me feel that France lost the game rather than we won it. Notwithstanding a bloody good fight back.
I still see little structure in Englandâs game plan and look back to last yearâs game v Ireland and think âis this another false dawnâ?
On the positive side of things there were some good individual performances; Chessum made his mark and carried very well. George made a mockery of my view that he cannot be an impact player anymore, but for me the biggest positive was the dropping of the replacement by numbers strategy that weâve seen far too often. Letâs hope that continues.
Unlucky France, you did more than enough to win but tits do not make hands. Another day and youâd have been 20 point winners.

A good game in the end but the constant stoppages, in the 1st half especially, are a blight on the game. England mainly at fault for players going to ground with an "injury". It's funny how the shot clock for conversions has affected the goal kickers when they are forced to rush their routine. No excuses.
The Georgian work experience ref still has no idea at the breakdown. Players entered ruck from the side or from offside repeatedly. Comical to see players metres in front at kickoffs too.
