France v England

France up for this

Why has the ref told Genge to stay high?

At the risk of carpet jumping on me - France clear-out clearly in from the side before the French pen ...

Well this could be a kicking

Would be nice if he pinged France when they infringe too

Now we'll flipping take that

It's a start

Hopefully the fatties (are we allowed to say that anymore?) will tire in the 2nd half

England turning over the ball far too easily but France looking mighty impressive. Awesome first try from our turnover

I fear France will stroll away with this given all the power they have to bring off the bench. I think having 6 forwards on the bench would have been useful!

they just on more fatties

I think France will pull away, but I thought that about Ireland last week.

If England get the first try of the second half then it's game on.

I didnt actually worry last week....this week.. they just attack from anywhere.....

We have a battle on....

Fitness and dynamism v size n power could decide this now...

Yeeeeeesssss

Nice start

Clear deliberate knock on, no?

Doesn't matter!

Blimey - I'm dreaming

Sensational!

Except makes you wonder why not spotted by the officials ...

Yes!!!

Ford class today

France lie around on the wrong side for 5 minutes and nothing, England for no time and it's a pen

France no 3 straight around the ruck - FFS ref

I'm guessing the gate is no longer a thing ....

Like I said....France ain't losing this....

France offside from that box kick too

How long before Manu gets a card?

Jammy buggers

You've got to be kidding

Two messed up line-outs for two tries

Were they less than 10m when the ball crossed the 15m line?

England are naive which shows against a side who've been together a long time

He was MILES offside - and ref even said so - WFT

Offside from virtually every box kick - and how was that a French throw?

Heaf.....this French team wont be allowed to lose to England

Ohhhh, but you spot that deliberate knock on. OK.

All offside from the kick again - now they're not even attempting to look onside

England grand slam next year..

Here's one for Carpet - these officials are absolutely crap!

France have lived offside at virtually every kick and been in the side at rucks (in fact not even in the side - ran directly to the back) ...
