[2019 Six Nations] England vs France (10/02/2019)

[TRF_Olyy]

That was a nuts finish from Slade

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Slade greedy **** give it to May

Selfish!!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Bonus point by half time!!!

 

[TheSaffycen]

Ashton done really well

 

[big ginger 8]

It's like Parra just gets bored if it's not front foot and decides he should kick it.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

England killing France in the air!!!

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Sinckler for 9

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Slade is a prolific ballerina

 

[Every Time Ref]

There was literally not a single player in the backfield for France, after all the kicking England did last week and so far this week, that is an astonishing level of incompetence!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Ashton's done well... but ******* hell he makes me nervous.

 

[McTallshort]

Still need to tighten up the tackling in broken play but really good otherwise

 

[TheSaffycen]

I have a soft spot for him I must be honest, don't think he's done anything to keep Joe or Nowell out. He's good with the kick chase but meh

 

[higgik]

I thought it was supposed to be a bit tight until the last quarter when the French started blowing!!!!

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Agreed, as soon as it gets loose we look scrappy as hell. France aren't capitalising, but NZ or Oz would tear us apart.

Then again, we wouldn't play like this against them, so.

I mean I am LITERALLY laughing out loud at this comment. Come on mate, be serious

I am. Very.
France is incapable of dealing with your high balls. Your last try was comical. 4 French players waiting to grab the ball, all in the same line. The closest one misses it, drops the ball forward, white 10 grabs, kicks the ball, no one covering because, well, 3 french players were just watching how their teammate dropped it.
Their defensive positioning is preposterous.

 

[TheSaffycen]

I really didn't see that happening this half, thought it would be underwhelming but it's just been too easy.

 

[Which Tyler]

Jaysus.

Getting flash backs?

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

May's second try, the pass isn't great, still has a lot of work to do and the winger barely gets a hand on him. Nuts.

No one's denying France are playing really badly, that was never my point

If we don't get 50, I'm gonna be disappointed.
