[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 489054, member: 55446"] It's historical more because of how fast this team has been put together based on trying to perform well in the future. No-one expected the results that have come. I'd happily call the Wales game an historic loss: a great performance against a very decent team which came down to the wire and sets England up for the future. Don't arrogantly think that England had no chance of beating France: France aren't special. Other than narrowly losing in the WC final, in the last year, France have achieved: losing to last years wooden spoon team relying on other results going France's way to get out of the pools of the WC after losing to Tonga unconvincingly beating England when England were at rock bottom narrowly beating a team who had lost their stand-out player to a red card not done anything special in this six nations no dominance in European club rugby, as may have been the case in the past For what it's worth, I think France can be a force. I just don't understand what you were basing France being out of England's reach on... [/QUOTE]
