Team for France

[Which Tyler]

Farrell' s shoulder is knackered. He should be off as he can't catch it.

Personal working theory.
Dislocated shoulder, popped back in, so painwise is okay - but lacking the finer points of control, and possibly some sensation in the fingers.

That or he's in panic mode, looking up before the ball arrives, not thinking straight, relying on his instinctive skills rather than trained etc...

Is Charlie ‘donkey’ Ewels wearing a jockstrap round his head?

[Which Tyler]

Who goes to 12 if Farrell is so decked he can’t continue? Or will we just persist with him dropping the ball every time he touches it?

Devoto, and actual, natural IC

[p/d]

Faz should stop sulking and start being a captain.

Apparently he is a born leader...... but wtf do I know, I read the DM

[morepork]

why the fuck is Farell still on?

[jngf]

I support France against anyone but England.
I'm going to pretend that this is France against... someone else wearing white

White is the new shy£te

[Stom]

Well, there's 1 positive so far...

It can't get any worse.

[morepork]

He is so cruising for a yellow.

[jngf]

I one or twice played no.8 at school too does that qualify me to be Curry’s understudy

[old-n-slo-2nd-row]

Are these really the best players in England? Playing in their best positions? This is poor. Never been a fan of Eddie. He has been given the benefit of doubt for far too long.

[jngf]

Jones get’s onto Quantas website at half time

[Oakboy]

What a complete fucking shambles!

[Danno]

Anyone just finding this kind of hilarious?

No, I switched off the PS4 for this crap

Anything good?

Hunting down the last trophy in Dark Souls RM

Change the record man.

[Gloskarlos]

Just fecking inept from top to bottom. Starting with Eddie, how much egg on his face after his pre match bullshoite?.

[Mr Mwenda]

Pitiful. Gave france the start they wanted.

Turns out billyv was pretty important.

[jngf]

Wow - Even MJ thinks T Curry’s a crap no.8!

[Stom]

BTW, the usual suspects (cough, EP, cough) won't like this...

But against an organised defence, we cannot find a way through pretty much exclusively because our runners always have to stop and wait for Ben Youngs to decide to pass the bloody thing.

He's abysmal.

On other notes...it's hard to pick out good performances, but extra special mentions for crapness go to Sinckler, Youngs, Farrell, and unfortunately Furbank.

Others who get a mention are Marler, George, Itoje, Ewels, Lawes, Curry.

Which is...2/3rds of the team and all bar 1 of the pack.

Notice you’re not disagreeing

[Epaminondas Pules]

Blimey who take off after that half. Farrell, Ford, Furbank all proper dreadful! Jamie George, Sinkler. Christ can we have more subs please?

[Oakboy]

Was that commentary statement about Tuilagi for real? If there were two centres on the bench to cover him carrying an injury it defies belief.

[p/d]

Sinckler just looks completely uninterested

Ford's kicking does not exactly earn him credit points!

[Oakboy]

Does anybody still think Farrell is a credible international centre?
