England France 6 Nations thread

This could be very very ugly. England aren't doing that much outside of a simple gameplan and they're still miles ahead.

Jonny may has scored 3 tries in the corner without a hand being laid on him

This is what greed and corruption does to a sports team.

Skilful one hand pick by May on the slide there

This is the worst French side I've ever seen. Their back three is at sea

Do France just come together the morning of a game and spend half an hour with a whiteboard deciding on a game plan?

What on earth was Huget at?

England are very good though and deserve credit. Their decision making and execution is brilliant.

Englands attack is very good. Varied, keeping France guessing.

Penaud looks good, despite that. Chip of the old block, his father being, what the boxing community would term 'classy'.

He is unfortunately being targeted though, perhaps huget could help him a bit more

I don't think they even put that much effort in beforehand...

Could be any score. That’s unfortunately championship gone for Ireland, that’s really frustrating after only two games.

This is shocking by France. Very embarrassing.

Fair play to them all the same. Looks like they could win the slam.

This is just like what they did to us but against a worse team here.
Serious World Cup contenders on this form.

I think the left hand corner is pretty consistent even when penaud miraculously escapes, para can only clear 10m off his left foot

The Rape of Lucretia

Can see the ref calling this game off at half time.
French pride suffering and could ship a serious injury out there. Its just dangerous now and he has a duty of care to all players.

awec

England have a slam on the way anyway.

No. That's so wide of the mark. There is no whiteboard or plan

The dont have time to indulge in that kind of sophistication. All the time goes on introducing the various players to each other.

Game needed that

Does Huget know where a fullback is meant to be?

I'm fairly sure that's not Huget but it's actually Mo Salah.

joseywhales

Well if they do come back from here we will know the old France is back

May had zero interest in the tackle on Huget.

lbc2019

Anyway... Allez Les Bleus!

That's an old school French flair try. They were so enjoyable to watch back in the day.

Why? Did he walk like an Egyptian?

I listen to the rugby pod fair bit and they offer some interesting insight into French club rugby. No strength and conditioning. No structure and people smoking in training.

It's a shame it's ingrained in theentire mindset of French rugby. Until they turn it around they are destined for mediocrity

Looks like they just do it all with a Whatsapp group.

The turnover on that group is pretty brutal too

Bit early to be getting in the consolation try.

Lambey seems too small too be properly effective at lock.

Christ. Bonus point before half time.

That's the championship for England.

Do France have a full back?

Easy peezy!

God they will be insufferable to listen to after this and last week.

Out on the wing with an an empty backfield. School boy stuff.

Big time. France have given up. Even the Italians would offer more resistance
