Proper game. Lots to enjoy. We're playing pretty well. France just look better with the ball.

hit and miss, but to be expected. Needs to lose the Goode stutter step and slow down in traffic...fantastic sliding take though.

They've been able to be more precise when they're at full pelt in the 22. We've stuttered a couple of times when we've had similar opportunities.

We've actually been pretty good - just not as good as France.
We also look like we're playing as well as we can; France have at least 1 more gear to go

This sounds about right. Hard to picture us pulling anything with the kind of execution they had for Penaud's try, but England definitely have enough to win this game.

We've had a few knock ons that aren't as good as we can be.

It's like we're gradually remembering how to play rugby, painful as the wait has been. France do look like they can put us away though if we stop annoying them.

LOL at Ewels frantically getting up to his feet then, to stand there and do nothing, so focussed on bounce time.

So. We got any sort of plan to inject some energy or invention in to this?

Sad to see Malins go off. He hasn't been perfect but he's been an upgrade.
