6N France v England

[Machpants]

England need to learn to catch kicks, but defence can be smothering EDIT: I think the problem Eng have with their rush is it takes them too long to get set for it. If they have time, it is good. But as soon as it requires reaction to changes or setting quickly they don't make it.

what a crock, didnt the AR say it was ok, then the TMO a less qualified official calls it a pen?

IMO, genuine attempt, knock only

Freedman with England's 4th try.

Penalty coming France's way. Too long to kick.

All comes down to this.
