France have apparently called up a massive centre. No idea what his name is.
They used to have Bastauread. It never worked for me.
England went through a phase of just picking big guys. I think alot of teams did, but it really didn't work that well. Flair and guile work much better.

France have played some lovely rugby recently. I worry that this is a return to form, and will ultimately cramp their style.

Vakatawa. He’s not massive, just massively good. He’s twice the player basteraud ever was. If he’s match fit, he makes France demonstrably better

I hope so. As I say, I haven't seen him.

Looking forwards to the game, as this one hasn't met my admittedly low expectations.

It’s rubbish without crowds, shouldn’t even count. Especially if Wales win a grand slam ????

Allez Les Bleus

That didn't take long. ?

France need to think a bit better. England are looking good

 

[GB72]

Certainly an entertaining start

 

[USER1999]

This is being played at some pace.

Wow what a game,
Pity England did not show this form against the Scots, we could have had a much closer game,
Good to see them playing proper rugby though.
That old fashioned bish bash bosh stuff that Jones ordered is so boring.

 

[Captainron]

You can’t trust the French to do anything!!

 

[arnieboy]

A great finish by England

I think if that England side had turned up in week one, you may have shipped 50 points.

And yet, despite losing, for me the story was how far France have come. They were a blade of grass away from the win.

Can someone please explain to me how Wales have played 4 games, won them all and got 19 points?

Bonus points awarded to how many tries are scored...

There is some oddly bad play in the Scotland v Ireland game. Some weird passing choices.

 

[USER1999]

Bonkers try for Scotland.

Bonkers try for Scotland.

Hoggie looked a bit shy when asked about it in the interview.
I thought it looked like it hit his chest and chin at the same time.
Too many fouls given away by Scotland, they would have really stolen a point at the end if that kick had not gone over.
Brutal game with both teams not at their best.

But it was fun despite it all and despite the end result - like an old-fashioned Barbarians game from back in the day.
