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

[Groundhog]

France all over the shop, couldn't catch a cold. England up for it though to be fair to them!

Where did we land on Swing Low? There's some English lads in the pub I'd love to cancel

 

[Reiser99]

Well, England are still in it, but they need a bit more in the second half as France look one completed pass frin scoring easily.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Not keen on the new 9 laws either.

I know that I really love rugby cause I come back to reffing even though all the new laws make reffing the game harder and introduce more gray areas to a game that was already context based.

 

[Wasps92]

The French should be about 21 points ahead. Can't believe it's level.

 

[BrokenWing]

We've got them where we want them, cue England's trademark strong finish.

Yup, that's a huge steaming pile of turds

Go right ahead

 

[Grizwald]

Some good and bad. Tbh I'm mostly impressed that England haven't looked inferior physically and the scrum has held up well.

 

[Booboobang]

Just as last week, in it at the half, are we all looking forward to the 60 minute mark? Surely it will be differnt this time.... surely....?

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

That is very funny, the biggest of **** shows to break it.

Lawrence has been impressive since moving back to 13.

Although he is wearing the number 13 Lawrence has spent this whole game defending at inside centre, and then in attack Slade and Lawrence are alternating at inside centre depending on whether they want a crash ball or a long pass.

Will stuart been a bit of a revelation, did not rate him but he has really started finding his stride at international level.

School song, not slave song. Sung in support of a black player from that school, not to mock him.

I was more using it as a marker of time, lawrence form has upticked since the cerimonious switching of numbers imo.

Freedom of speech =/= Freedom from consequences.

Better than Ireland call but not as good as Bread of Heaven

Ah nah, I love Ireland's Call. The only anthem I'll sing apart from GSTK, just because it's an absolute banger.

 

[AlRums]

Like the Maginot line.

Actually the Maginot line held, the Germans went round it. Typical shabby nazi trick in the words of Captain Mainwaring

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England don't look as gassed as last week. Their attack, in their handful of chances, certainly looks less hard-working and I think that's a positive.

 

[Saintjay]

I think the traditionalists will be more upset the Twickenham's half time show is like a Benidorm nightclub.

This is true... 40 years ago...
