    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    French didn't underperform... they hadn't a great bunch of players and weren't at the level, simply that. You underperform when you have the best players, France hadn't the players. And France didn't play with "flair" since the arrival of Laporte in the beginning of 2000's... England have many...

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    I totally agree they played with great intensity but only in the first half and only when they seem to be the alone team on the pitch... and it was very simple and not entertaining at all... Wales beaten by France have seemed more convincing IMHO... English lost their "way" in the second half...

    Predicted 6N table 2020

    Not a big mistake, many, included French themmselves, didn't expect that France would make its Revolution till the first year of Galthié/Ibanez/Edwards appointment ! And I am pretty sure that a defeat over England in the 1st round would have put France in disarray... It was a match with total...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    Je tiens à éclaircir les choses au sujet de plusieurs commentateurs m'accusant. Je me suis inscrit il y a peu sur ce site. Je suis Français, et fier de l'être, même si j'apprécie les autres nations et les autres cultures. Mon anglais est approximatif et si vous regardez bien, mes fautes de...

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    I would say that france had maybe (surely) no other choices... if we look at the last decade, the few french national coach often put on the pitch the best (less worst) side they can then...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    Anglo-speaking don't usually understand that point, the fact the referee speak english, players who speak english understand him, it's a GREAT advantage... Yes, french professional players received english lessons, but put this : it's different to speak english with your teacher, than on the...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    It's less fitness than shape... French international players do more match than any other international... they are more tired then. Let's have a look on french internationals : 25 to 32 match in top 14, European cup, 7-9 match, june and autumn internationals 4 to 6 match, 6N : 5 match. that...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    In fact no, cause Waterloo was a prussian victory :D I was more referring to 1066 Hastings, hundred years war, US Independence war (Cheasepeake bay and yorktown) etc... ;) :D

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    Excellent ! lol Agree there... I remember that even a poor french side has denied few 6N ***les to English... with unexpected wins in the last decade. French prefer to loose to pacific isles Italy, canada or even Luxemburg than loosing to England ;) nothing (for French) is as good as a...

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    I will be more severe with the front five than you are... especially the first line. Genge has been far better before that match. I find it good by moments, but erratic and not constant. George and Sinkler did great many things in tight and loose, but not all, they failed one or 2 times. in...

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    I think Peyper was pretty average, not forcely bad (he has put his referring at the level of the both teams, I suppose), but had a day off about the scrum... I wanted to point it out. And, I apologise if my english is not that perfect, but hey, it's not my native and it's a bit rusty, I used it...

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    Ireland played correctly against Wales only, they were poor over scotland and very poor over England... maybe it can explain that England just played the necessary level to win it. BUT I am pretty sure England and Ireland can do FAR better. Let's hope Irish won't up their game against France ;) :D

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    Yes "he"... Not sure I was right.. . but I told my feelings... I prefer to see foolishness in rugby with poor defense but teams trying their best... today, it's like they were trying their worst.

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    what a poor comment... I have been far harsher on the froggies when they were super poors during a decade... even when they were winning... Can you honestly justify that way, the poor level rugby between England and ireland ???

    [2020 Six Nations] England vs Ireland (23/02/20)

    I was disapointed by this match... They had told us that was top 2 against top 4 in the world. I was hoping a great game... huh... irish didn't play in first half... Then when they begin to remember that the famous expression "fighting spirit" was for Ireland, English played pretty "averagely"...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    Honestly, I wish England to win over ireland, not because I love my best and oldest "enemy", but because I like when the 6N is passionating and entertaining like this year... when France was only the ghost of herself, there was a true big miss. With an english win oiver Ireland, 3 teams can...

    [2020 Six Nations] Wales vs France (22/02/20)

    France is back, guy ! that's all :) I think the defence was good at important and crucial time... At the end of the first half, they incredibly hurted the morale of the Welsh... they denied a promised try to Welsh and kept the score ! Morally it was a problem for Welsh... They knew there that...
