Next up.....France

[Galfon]

Good riposte, less frenetic. Unlucky under les postes

[16th man]

Just makes all that kicking look all the more stupid when you see we can do this

[Insouciant]

Wow... that was probably our best period of play in the whole tournament. Great try.

[Galfon]

Try Watson in corner .
Needed points there..
Con Faz,
7 - 7
after 11 mins, & no pens so far.

[Galfon]

Pressure in midfield..
Pen Faz
10 - 7, 14 mins

[Insouciant]

First penalty.. and we didn't concede it. Amazing.

[Galfon]

rubbish kick Youngs puts team in bother.

[16th man]

The French power running is scarily effective so far

[Insouciant]

Very good exit kick from Malins. Both sides look very up for this. Lots of great attacking on show so far.

[Insouciant]

Wonderful run from Watson..wow, we've won a second penalty too.

[Galfon]

Watson mustard - defo. Lions select ( 1 of few certs in Eng. squad)

[Galfon]

13 - 7 after 19 mins.
Pen Faz.
Fra not really started yet.

[16th man]

One of those where you feel for the offender. Brilliant counter ruck but he's going to have to learn to float not to fall over.

[Galfon]

Malins looks the part thus far

[Insouciant]

Damn... that kick from Youngs. Impressive.

[Insouciant]

Great charge down from Curry. Shame we didn't make more it.

[Galfon]

Unusually, most of play so far has been in opponent's half.
Maybe the long break has left Fra under-zipped.

[Galfon]

Slops creeping in now ..

[16th man]

Someone needs to tell the Exeter guys to stop diving through rucks

[Insouciant]

The cover from Slade there... excellent

[Galfon]

Yellae beckons...pressure from les bleus telling.
13 - 10 after 29 mins.
Jalibert.

[Mikey Brown]

A bit Goode-esque from Malins there.

[16th man]

That was scarily good

[Galfon]

Slick & lethal -
Penaud in corner, con taken.
13 - 17 after 33 mins.

[Mikey Brown]

Wow.
