[QUOTE="someblackguy, post: 154572"] totally agree there france should have stopped trying to play a tight defensive game against england. It works against AB's because they are try scorers but not against kickers like england. They just didnt get the ball out quickly enough from the ruck most of the time and when they had good field position just seemed to chip and chase and give away good chances. Thing about france is they dont mind about playing a game where the opposition might score 20 points, so long as they score 21. Playing close games like that is suicide when your playing wilkinson. they should have been playing southern hemishpere rugby, and thats to play running rugby that is fast, intense and tests the oppositions defence, and most importantly, puts big points on the board. I guess they can now blame laporte for this, as france were always known for theyre attacking flair which would have worked brilliantly last night. thing i got from watching france is they played a game of, lets try not to lose this, instead of, lets go out and win this. i personally was bitter about seeing england win through the boot of wilkinson. very uninspiring rugby to me <_< [/QUOTE]
