[2015 Six Nations] England vs France (Round 5)

[Chistera]

Early changes from France, smart from Saint-André.

 

[Tony Manx]

We should bring in try bonus points so we have more six nations weekends like this.

I agree but can we have it on the basis of try differential (three in France) rather than just scoring four tries (England) and only on basis that there are defensive bonus points for only being 5 (France) or 7 (England) behind too?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bloody charge downs, son!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Crap call awful call

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That is a terrible terrible call!

Hartley had ripped the ball/had it in his hands before Owens started piping up!

Sure, but you'll have to ask World Rugby not me! I think it's a great incentive that would even push players to use their ball skills more.

 

[Bluemoon]

There's been a few calls to take the choke tackle out of the game. I'm totally on board. Very negative.

 

[Hibbyhanky]

Last two tries for England in first 40 one was nock on then a French player pulled it back and other a pen for diving in but the english player dived in first watch it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nowelly boyyyyyy


and then Kockott kicking off at the ref like the whiney little babby that he is

No, you're wrong for both.
Ball came off Haskell's leg and was then pulled back by the French winger.
Burrell was the tackler and then a French player dove onto him straight off his feet pinning him there.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nowell!!!!!

Youngs vision has been second to none.

 

[Rugga-lad]

oh for heaven sake, where is the french defence ?

 

[munstermuffin]

England's biggest problem is they're allowing France back in every time

 

[ruggabee]

How many more points do England have to score? I'm getting worried.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

oh for heaven sake, where is the french defence ?

The same place the Italian and Scottish defences were before them

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

27 points difference I think

 

[Chistera]

Class kicking from Ford.

You have already started a new thread to reveal your one eyed attitude so you do not really need to double post!

I am impressed with the way in which the English attitude has been so good despite the constant set backs from French scores.........really encouraging for them!!

TBF that thread has been locked.

We'll win with 26, as after points it goes to tries which we have more of.

 

[Bluemoon]

Haskell with a massive slide tackle on the French 10. Penalty!
