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

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Now that England are so clearly the best team in the world can we just chuck Tuilagi in at 8 next week for the bantz?

Cowan Dickie was **** when he came on.

Really? I thought he was good. Put in some big hits and got a turnover.

Week after next, but agree and Nowell at 7 as well.

Turnover excepted, dropped balls and missed tackles...also scrum not as solid.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Won a crucial turnover and was very physical.

Dropped a ball.

The most dominant scrum of the game happened immediately after he came on.

Well, 44-8 is pretty good going - but I was disappointed in the last 15 minutes or so. Couple of attacking lineouts lost and a feeling of the fizz disappearing. Be 10 points up against the All Blacks with 15 to go and you'll lose!

Another dominant performance by England, if we don't wanna get smashed in 2 weeks time we will have to up our game significantly... and in fairness there has been little to no evidence of that happening during the first two rounds.

Really? Must have missed that one. Saw us going backwards at a rate of knots at the last one. Maybe I'm being harsh, I expect more from him.

 

[Nudger]

End Wales's 12 matching winning run and we're on for the Grand slam.

So are wales lol

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Didn't think LCD did too badly but I'd have Hartley over him when he's fit

I'm already nervous for that game. Wales will front up. It's going to be a bloody close game.

However, with the bonus points, I think England will win this 6N.

Think Wilkinson might need to get his eyes checked if he can't see who's hands touched that ball.

It's extremely clear.

In fact, I'm beggining to think there's some sort of "video comprehension/acuity" skill that isn't particularly widely understood. You see this all the time with slo-mo shots, people talking about abundantly clear videos as if they aren't.

Perhaps it's a video game thing? I'm not sure.... I don't think it's simply eye-sight.

Yeah that was very odd

Come on mate Glass half full huh, there are several ways to take away their dominance

 

[barthelemy]

good Tactical kicking victory from England in the first half, France had an awfull start, looked like some other past England France match where France is not o nthe pitch at all, , alwayss same issues with od french players who should not be there at all (parra, Guirado, Vahamina...), better second half where we finally put the forward gear with Dupont who has done quite well but score was done already. Still in year Zero for France unfortunately, nothing concrete and no confidence.

That's was a pretty good result. Shame robson didn't get on sooner. He adds real zip and gets the ball away from the contact area really well.

Not sure the AB comment is relevant.

France clearly have some talent and just need a proper coach to bring them all together. Real threat in the making I'd say, but probably not in
Time for this WC.

It's another good performance and the start of some real consistency. I'd say Ashton didn't do enough in that game to merit another shot. For me it's nowell to start in two weeks with Big Joe on the bench.
Slade was great again and has well
And truly proved his detractors wrong as was an has Daly.

May epic!!!
Manu looking strong again.
Faz getting better and better.

It really is all coming up Red Roses.
