Ha. But i don't like tea, does that make me a terrible Englishman?! I think anymore coffee will send me through the roof watching this. Is it too early to get on the sauce?
Nah Hood, get em down yer son.
It comes to something when Tuilagi is hitting more rucks than the forwards, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Though i might not be able to keep it down!
Im afraid France will know how to close this down. lots of one ups and tight defence.
English have to chance the wind and throw it around.

France have lost all intensity this half. Can't maintain possession. Seem ponderous in the backs when they're going forward.

if you lose because of this 10/12 business I think Johnson has a lot to answer for but if you play as yuu are, score next, then game on. French card imminent

They should have taken the shot at goal 10-16 with 10 to go would have been a better option.

Agreed, Wilkinson bottled that one, he's a spent force I think.

Flood doing well going forward, keeps panicking with the offloads though.

Mistake by Wigglesworth on the T&G, we needed points from that last foray.

I think JW was off by then TBH. But Flood not doing any favours dicking around behind the 22 like that.

I wanted to think Walsh would ruin this for us but he's reffed it well. Forwards have been terrible, truly terrible. Selection was brainless, i can't say i'm looking forward to 4 more years of Johnno and his gang

I think there'll be a lot to answer for Gatts, not just Johnno but a fair few of the players, discipline aside where's the captain? Why can't England use their talent in the backs, probably the only genuine area of the team to offer any threat?
It's been a complete shambles from start to finish.
