England v France

[Mr.cyclopede]

Looks like a part of the "tapisserie de Bayeux", first comic book in the world...

 

[lucky number 7]

If you want to be like that, we're all really African.

Touche....

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Normans, Flemings and Bretons, not French

And Francs )

 

[Mr.cyclopede]

Watching a heavy rain weather forecast for France tomorrow, what's annouced over Twickenham ?

 

[Shaggy]

Should be a great game ... i'll go with a narrow victory to France

 

[B10]

Cannot wait. I'm going England by 10-15

Read a times article ***le; "Johnson hopes England can overcome nightmare memories of Paris defeat"

I'm sorry, am I missing something!?! That 10-12 loss was a great result for us away against a French team playing so well when we'd had such a poor tournament. To have lost by ten points would have been a decent result. Losing away from home is not a nightmare scenario it's the most likely thing. And thatssss the only reason I think England are favourites tomorrow.

I just cant wait to see who will win in the scrum. It'll be technique vs the raw power of england. i just think the height diffrence will be crazy 6'4 of sherry vs 5'8 of servat.

in my opinion as far as scrum goes the top four teams go in this order

1.Wales
2.france
3.SA
4.England

I thought that initially aswell but i guess it just shows Johnno's winning mentality and competitive edge that he really wanted the win with the performance to stop France getting the grand slam.

And Gauls? (like Asterix)

 

[Surefire]

13 - 27 France wins by 14

Ashton gets his Try, but England are wound too tightly and cause too many penalties in the game. Chabal lasts 30 minutes then needs oxygen for the rest of the night!

GO France!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

I am expecting a fast and open game with quite a few tries in it. Close game this one will be.

 

[Teh Mite]

I'm expecting rither a close tense affair ir a cricket score, with either a win for the English or the French.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I hope England win this one. If France win they win the slam. If England win then the championship is still wide open where England, France and possibly Ireland and Wales still have a chance at the ***le and this will make the championship more exciting but whoever wins today probably has the ***le if not the slam depends on how France do against Italy and England do against Scotland and Ireland

 

[CBtheD]

I don't think it'll be as wide open as a lot of people think. Chabal's inclusion at No.8 is an indicator towards a power game for France, so England's fringe defence is going to have to be first rate today. The eventual scoreline will go down to a couple of lapses in concentration by either side. Ultimately France are mentally weaker than England and I think that will be the deciding factor.

Clancy is having a good game so far!

 

[Getofmeland]

Agree with that, Clancy has had a great game so far.

Well the anti Ashton plan seems to be working so far...
