What a game!

After the antics of their fans at the WC, France must surely have lost lots of fans.

For me, I want their team to be destroyed in every outing. And England got so close.

On England, this is a completely different side when Owen FagGirl isn't in it. Marcus Smith is a great little talisman. He doesn't come close to the dangerous Bok backs, but he's exciting nonetheless and a chap you can't help supporting.

I do hope the English take heart from that performance. They came very close and dominated France for long periods.

Thank you, Plum. 

I’m pretty annoyed about it actually  

Viva la France.

England under the Felix Jones influence are clearly employing the Bok rush defence - they mostly succeeded but it takes time to perfect. Plenty of trust and perfect timing required - get it wrong and you get sorely exposed
