You have to admire the French being right in this. They looked like they were out for the count several times there. How the hell is this so close??

Too early for 1994 flashbacks...?

One point in it, ten to go.

Zinzan Brooke was majestic that day. Laurie Mains took him off. Standing ovation. Shit kick by Stephen Bachop. 30 seconds of utter French magic. An unforgettable kick in the guts.

Because they do the little things well. They catch high balls. They can punt. They are good at the breakdown turnovers. Things we aren't good at.

France play with pride and composure and they are an incredibly well-coached outfit.

[Mr Fish]

Cheating. Not a head knock at all.

We lack their structure and organisation

[Donsteppa]

Pleased to see them kicking for goal.
