France Vs England, Six Nations 2020

[sparky]

All England at the start of the Second Half.

[sparky]

Penalty right in front. Turn it down for a scrum.

[Victor Meldrew]

Phase after phase on the Frog line with overlaps right and left and England batter away.

Where's the thinking?

[Bones]

That was shit from England. So many quick ball opportunities where they could have scored but they just wanted to meander around and play for the penalty.

[sparky]

Joseph loses it forward with line open but France offside.

Penalty. Turned down. Another 5m scrum.

[Bones]

Geez it's not England's day.

[Victor Meldrew]

Joseph drops the ball with the line in sight.

God almighty, England have been woeful thus far

[sparky]

Trench warfare this. Itoje knock-on, 1m out.

[Victor Meldrew]

And England knock-on 1m from the Frog line.

[sparky]

England do something quite good, then do something really dumb.

Repeat x 50.

[sparky]

30 minutes to go. Still France 17, England 0.

[Victor Meldrew]

France absolutely dominating England at the break-down.

That's where the game is being won

[sparky]

Big hit on Romain Ntamack by the reserve Prop. Up with the TMO. No problem with that. Play on.

[Bones]

I know he's committed to the tackle, but it's a tackle at the knees of a kicking player who he knows is gonna kick. Bad intent for mine and dangerous.

[Victor Meldrew]

France seem to have taken Speed. England seem to prefer Mogadon

[sparky]

Outstanding work by Dupont. French in again. The skipper Charles Ollivon with his second try. Sliding over in the wet. Big scrap afterwards.

[sparky]

Ntamack with the afters. It's good.

France 24 England 0. 55 minutes played.

[Victor Meldrew]

@sparky said in France Vs England, Six Nations 2020:

t. Big scrap afterwards.

Loved the way Nige simply watched and waited until the children had finished playing silly buggers.

He's to reffing what Dan Carter is to no. 10's

[sparky]

May scores for England. Chases hard after his own kick.

[Bones]

I can't stand him but magic try from May. Got to admire his ability to create from sheer hard work.
