England vs France: Match Thread

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 4:44 pm

First topic message reminder :

Couldn't see a match thread for this, so i created this one.

Getting nervous, haven't a clue who will win.

Courtney Lawes has been brought in to quicken up the initial tackle, so that Parra is put under pressure, so far he has missed two out of three.

Lancaster must be a tad worried

great run MANU...

more of that england

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:26 pm

hmmmmm, should that have been a pen for a trip?

by GunsGerms Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:26 pm

France are forcing it a bit butgood to watch

by Guest Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:26 pm

Farrell putting the elbow in there. Naughty boy....

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:27 pm

lol, well milked pen there robshaw. holding on to his leg.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:27 pm

Parra and now Farell have both let themselves down there, both went down flayling arms screaming murder etc, despite the slightest of contact!!!

PATHETIC!

by mystiroakey Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:28 pm

really? Farrell elbowed Parra, but yes he did milk it. Farrell was tripped, he fell over, hardly did a dive.

by mystiroakey Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:29 pm

gave away a deffo9 try there..

but still england showing the class at last

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:29 pm

Dominate? You mean they had an attack! Laugh

so long as we get points from each attack.

france havent done anything either.

the only decent play in the game so far!

1 attack to none!

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:30 pm

nathan watch Farell as he goes down arms flayling from a half trip, then springs to his feet arms out screaming penalty, that is as pathetic as Parra going down for a player trotting past and brushing his face!

by Guest Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:31 pm

I like the French full back. Runs very much like Poitrenaud (sp.)

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:31 pm

Well then call it as it is, an attack not domination

by BamBam Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

Where the bloody hell was the full back

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

how many missed tackles!!!!!

by 100%beefy Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

F F F F F F ofana me!

by GunsGerms Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

Geinus fofana.

by Morgannwg Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

Another step closer to my winnings.

by **Pal Joey** Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:32 pm

Fofana! Try. Great fend off.

by IanBru Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

Loverly!

by tatterd Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

I counted 6 missed tackles in fofanas try..................

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

Huget is a good runner but a top FB he is not!

Fofana is the one to watch, Ashton showed his defencive problems there, Lawes and Youngs couldn't do much more, although Youngs couldve slowed him further!

by Morgannwg Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

I've always said Lawes is a 6 playing in the 2nd row, because he's gash in the 2nd row. So far he is not showing up well at 6...

by glamorganalun Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

Ashton tackles like the Welsh women team.

by GunsGerms Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:33 pm

Think he is a centre psa. Allez les bleus.

Thats why PSA wanted Fofana out wider, to beat men one on one, his flaw was that the ball doesn't go beyond Bast!!!

England need to respond!!!

seeing some of the welsh woman, i'd say there 100% better.

by ChequeredJersey Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:36 pm

Missed the start due to rowing, hope we turn this around

by Morgannwg Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:36 pm

Chris who?

it's pretty close to be honest.

by GunsGerms Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:37 pm

England getting away with holding on a lot.

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:37 pm

Wonder try, followed by 3 point gift... just dull!!!!

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:37 pm

whats going on with all the camera work this weekend, it's been pants.

by Morgannwg Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:37 pm

Is Joubert the ref?

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:38 pm

Alex Goode was in such a bad FB position there, and he managed to save the day, is that genius or pure luck?!

by ChequeredJersey Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:38 pm

lawes missed another tackle.

by BamBam Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:40 pm

Lawes has missed 3 by my very drunken counting

by thebluesmancometh Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:40 pm

How does Farell get away with tackling Parra without the ball there after he grubbers it forward?

Tackling without the ball seems good these days!!!

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:40 pm

lol, why did he go up for that? surely he knew he was going to be pushed out.

by nathan Sat 23 Feb 2013, 5:41 pm

Fofana is one amazing player.
