England XV Vs France XV

Catogrande

A bit light in the second row and a mix of young and possibly past his best at centre but given the green-ness of the French team we should be favourites.

Cue a thrashing by some brilliant unheard of Frenchies.

@antipodean said in England XV Vs France XV:

Is it a capture game?

I've seen it reported as a non-capped game.

ARHS

England or England A is capture team. England XV is not

France XV to play an England XV tomorrow in an uncapped game has been released. Quite a lot of players there I am not familiar with to be honest.

France leading 12-0 after scoring two tries at Twickenham in the first ten minutes.

12-7 after 20 minutes. Very lengthy water break.

sparky

There's a female ref, which is a victory for feminism I guess, but goodness me she likes the sound of her whistle and her own voice.

sparky

Twickenham must be a third full.

A big English lock crash over. 12-12.

sparky

Filthy high tackle by Feyi-Wabaso. YC and a review. Should be upgraded to a Red.

sparky

Upgraded to a red and rightly so. There needs to be a lengthy ban too. That sort of crap has no place in the game.

sparky

Nice try by England. 17-12.

sparky

Half time England 19 France 12. England will play the rest of the game with 14.

Bones

@sparky fuck thank you! Rugbypass is a fucking atrocious disaster.

sparky

Attisogbe doing well at Fullback for France and Le Garrac has a good box kick. Not much on show from them beyond that.

sparky

Seb Atkinson's having a good game at 12 for England. Baxter, George, Coles and Willis going well in their forwards.

sparky

Attisogbe hooked at half time. The French are treating this like a training run.

sparky

Lots of English fatties struggling in the heat.

Le Garrac's boot is excellent.

Bones

Has the ref been decent, or are we virtue signalling?

sparky

The French are taking a battering in the scrums.
