[2021 Six Nations] England vs France (13/03/21)

[Which Tyler]

How is Dupont not offside there?

Because he's part of the ruck - the amazing thing, is that he's both part of the ruck, AND on his feet - which is virtually unheard of

How come that wasn't a yellow card for deliberate knock on by DuPont?

Because it didn't go forwards off Dupont

 

[ForumWhore]

I fear we've had our purple patch.

 

[MikeTheNative]

I've seen those given as penalties, but I'm not 100% on the law exactly.

Timing is massive issue as it's easy to get pinged for 'playing the 9'

 

[Rinkadink]

That Fazlet "tackle" attempt was concerning for an international 12.

Can't imagine Ollie Devoto, Piers O'Connor, Luke James and co being that poor.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We've had our 20mins of no penalties

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Jalibert having a mare

 

[ncurd]

Got real unlucky with the bounce there.

Really have to starve this French side of possession they look real good ball in hand.

 

[Which Tyler]

1 penalty......I refuse to believe this is England playing.

Is that more like it?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Have a word Owen. Oh Gawd...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Class from Slade to poke that away tbf

 

[Leinster Fan]

Great defence from Slade.

 

[ncurd]

Is that more like it?

Yup feels like normal service now.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Farrell was awful in defence there. looked like a high tackle by France after the lineout, but the ref missed that.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Amazed the Irish officiating team isn't ruining this game.

 

[TommiG88]

Amazed the Irish officiating team isn't ruining this game.

Give it a few

 

[Reiser99]

What was bad was the way the penalties looked like panic. So many because we were under pressure.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Malins...

Should've skyed it

 

[McTallshort]

That French backline is frightening

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

It's amazing to see actually slow Farrell is, looks like a jogger in the park compared to other players.

 

[Groundhog]

Malins doing a bad Kearney impression there.
