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

[TheOvalBall]

I'm not getting excited. France usually start well. Good team try though.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

well 5 minutes in and itoje should be in the bin.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

well 5 minutes in and itoje should be in the bin.

....why?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

....why?

slapped the ball out of scrum half's hands

owens said knock on only but it's owens and he doesn't want to have to give a card . . . if france didn't score i'd imagine TMO would have called in

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Oh well, that'll make Butler happy.

 

[big ginger 8]

Yeah that should at least have been looked at from Itoje. Good sign for this game to see France starting well.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Sloppy handling.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Fun if error strewn game so far.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Just need to get the handling right...

 

[TommiG88]

No no8 .......

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wow, it's almost as if 8 is an actual position and not somewhere you just shove players who have never played there

 

[TheOvalBall]

Any other French supporters here?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

And that's the difference between a no8 and a flanker.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Aaand that's why you don't play a flanker at 8.

 

[TommiG88]

If we don't call an 8 for the next game, we can forget about it

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Daly in lost high ball shock.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like Farrell has dislocated his shoulder

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Ford going full Faf

 

[Which Tyler]

Fazlet dislocated shoulder?

 

[TheOvalBall]

Young teams bring energy, so that's good. Lol
