On another note, the noise at Twickenham during kicking is horrendous

But the England team still look in the dark when it comes to rugby brains and midfield skills.

The reason that lept to my mind at that point was that they never do.
I think that's unfair to Brian, what he was saying, "Wales should go on to win this" he then stated "saying they were close is just not good enough if they don't"

He wasn't stating Wales are a good enough team to, he was stating that if they screw this up again, serious repercussions need to happen... They won't though

I know but they aways blow it in the last stages and thats no coincidence.
The repercussions you speak of are the same ones they have had for the previous six years of similar failures against the big 3.
Nothing has changed in that time.
That is my point.

Yeah but Brian was calling them out on that, I actually agreed with what he was saying, which I am assuming for anyone on here is probably a first bar the times he was calling for changes in scrum rules

Also, I'd choose Darce over Farrell in mid-field. At least his attitude he won't cause someone to think about kicking him in the head.

I like Brian Moore Matt!

Just seen France get beat by Argentina.
Clancy was in charge it has to be said.

Really don't know what to make of France but they need some constancy.
They won't get it whilst PSA is in charge.

Barnes was in charge of Wales game. Barnes likes to keep games tight!

pffft France are a lost cause, only able to get bonkers decisions to reach world cup finals, and play 1 good match every year. No-one will ever get anything worth playing from France in an away match, it's their culture. We heard so much talk about how terrible they were this six nations, but they nearly beat us, and did beat England in their home games. They are what you would expect from the Frence league, unbelievably passionate at home and wonderfully disinterested away. They are FRENCH.

Only hope their one good match isn't against us.
It usually is.

French are reaping what they sow. Their league is full of high paid imports, they are suffering as a result. Where are their next generation coming from?
