Do you think England is going to win this match?[/b]

If I had to predict the score solely based on previous showing in the 2010 6N, that would be France by 30+.

But everybody knows that England will raise their level for this game and will never be as poor as against Scotland.

For the sake of the game, aesthetics,beauty and poetry, France by 10+.
 
A friend changed his mind after a 3h cruel dilemma, so 1 extra ticket available now

For detail it's in block Y2 in the stadium
 
I read an interview with Ben Foden earlier, and he basically said Johnsons given him free reign to play how he wants to, so that gives me a bit of hope

2 ways to read that;

Is the "he" Foden or Johnson.

I will bet anyone £15 that England will win against France.[/b]

Besides blind patriotism, what is there on paper to suggest that England won't lose by 20 points?

The fact that they're playing against us ;)
 
I put £2 (i know, i know, big spender) on England, Scotland and Italy to win, £600+ back on that if it comes in :p

20+ points! No matter how bad England are playing and how good France are playing i cannot see a margin that big! As for blind patriotism, sometimes that's good enough.
Im actually really excited about watching England tomorrow night, got a feeling some rugby is gonna be churned out! ;)

Ahem, how about Italy winning in Cardiff. In Rome maybe, we can't lose to Italy at home. Can we?

Nah, Wales all the way in that one. Although Italy are improving i can only see a Welsh win!
 
In a word, yes.
Borthwicks only real strength is his lineout work. Apparently Palmer is a lineout specialist, but they've put him on the bench with Deacon on the pitch, who is poor at best at just about everything. Just got to hope that the french hooker has a mare, and just throws it straight into Easter/Shaw/Deacons hands.
Saying that, Easters not been looking too shabby in the lineouts this 6N (especially against Wales, if i remember correctly. Made some cracking jumps/one handed catches)
