[2025 Six Nations] England vs France - 08/02/25

[Duck a l'Orange]

England by 14. I've placed a bit bet on this

Money where your mouth is, I like it.

I think England or France by 1-20.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Me, now that my bets off:

(Couldn't find a pic of a Frenchman with a moustache as, famously, only the women have them over there)

 

[Scotty]

This could go either way bit I'm excited for this one, a good performance against a better team may not be enough but I want to see a real step up in our attack when we have possession otherwise no point having the risk of Smith at 10 and Smith first start.

Who were the people disrespecting the silence? Not good.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Come on Finbarr, today is your day.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Who were the people disrespecting the silence? Not good.

That's why they should just have a minute's applause.

 

[BMatt]

Who were the people disrespecting the silence? Not good.

What was the silence for?

 

[Duck a l'Orange]

Who were the people disrespecting the silence? Not good.

French fans at a guess. Stade de France is the least pleasant stadium atmosphere I've ever experienced. No comment on French people in general, but they make for horrible sports fans.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

What was the silence for?

Tom Voyce.

 

[Reiser99]

It would be typical of England that Borthwick has told them to run it more and they completely ignore the weather to do so.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Freeman poor defensive read or he doesn't trust Slade to tackle.

 

[IT157]

England look nervous

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Ooof Barassi ****** that at him. But in the words of Joe Schmidt "good players catch those".

 

[Rinkadink]

Best player in the world with the penalty, obviously the ref's fault for not respecting his greatness.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Slade again showing he's just not a top level international player. Really need another option there.

 

[Reiser99]

Slade missing touch too. He really needs a good game.

 

[Rinkadink]

Slade again showing he's just not a top level international player. Really need another option there.

He has been decent, on his day... But he's not a 12 and not played enough rugby to warrant being called up in the first place.

Lol Freeman

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England looking a bit manic here. Need to calm down a bit.

 

[Scotty]

Slade again showing he's just not a top level international player. Really need another option there.

Tbh he's done that many times and got some great territory, but yeah don't risk it.

 

[Reiser99]

Silly penalty 1.
