[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 249279"] <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Sir. Speedy @ Mar 1 2009, 01:07 PM) [url='index.php?act=findpost&pid=382421']<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/url]</div> You've hit the nail on the head. If France show up they beat anyone. If they half show up, the match will be a cracker. If they don't show up at all, they'll lose. And unlike other teams, you never can tell on form. They're a better side in almost every department... (arguably [i]every[/i].) But England have a history of upsetting them. We'll play the same spoiling game we've played over the last 2 matches and, in terms of excecution of that gameplan, we've been 80% there. I know we weren't the better team against Ireland or Wales but I don't think anyone could say we wouldn't have earned it had we snuck a win in either of those games. I'm going, looking forward to a cracker, and a repeat of 2 years ago when we blitzed the French at Twickers against the odds and the atmosphere in the bars afterwards was great. Unfortunately this one's on a Sunday... [/QUOTE]
