6 Nations 2023

France are unstoppable. Only France can stop them.

Zackerly.

Funniest bit for me was Curry celebrating a pen in front of the posts like he'd won the World Cup only for Engerland to feck it up yet again.

The one that turns up stops the one that doesn't turn up. Or vice versa.

It’s not like they were in touching distance when he did it.

Embarrassing.

Note that when French forwards, twice in the first half , when given a sniff of the try line, ran like side stepping three quarters. A new breed of athletes emerging in forward play.

Even funnier as it was just a knock on, not even a penalty.

He’s not even the best player in his family.

I am so glad the RFU royally drunk off Andy Farrell and Stuart Lancaster back in 2015.

The fear of losing Farrell would be great right now.

Justin you have my condolences. An Ulster and England fan.

Thanks. Chuck in PNE to that list and it’s a wonder I get through the winter.

Never had any affinity with England Rugby tbh, not being posh. Think I’ve been to more Ireland games.

Apart from cricket, I’m a club over country kind of bloke.

Still, it’s amazing to see where AF and SL are after the brad pitt show of 2015.

It’s interesting that Ireland can produce the players but not the coaches.

France could play the game at their pace, because engs tactics allowed them to, aligned with poor weather stifling any eng ambition.
Poor conditions, poor eng kicking game, and lack of skill to move that French pack around. When they briefly lifted the tempo France didn’t like it. Pens, knock ons, crap kick tennis back 3 to back 3 not moving the fr pack around, gave the French pack constant breathers. Borthwick is learning on the job. Had they fatigued the French earlier they may have had a better time at the breakdown.
The late French tries showed what was possible with vision and ambition re handling. DuPonts kicking really squeezed England. Mitchell at sub 9 needs to start to lift their tempo.

BBC talking shìte.

If Scotland stuff Ireland today they are still ranked number 5 in the world.

How does yesterday affect England's ranking?

Luke Pearce keeping Scotland in the game. No complaints, just saying.

Hansen's a powderpuff winger

[jean valjean]

Ringrose keeping up the missed tackle count well.
