True. The one decent English coach in the stadium?

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.

Won’t like what? That we’ve collectively been arse? Cough fuck off cough. Youngs, Ford, Farrell all shite. Like proper shite. But then forwards not making yards. Lawes is the only one carrying with purpose. We’re allowing France to disturb our ball and then being slow to clear, but then the forwards are static which makes defence seriously easy. Then when we actually get near the line we make ducking awful decision like Ford pushing it wide to May with three players to beat! Idiot!

We need carriers and some impetuous, the bounce of the ball, but mostly the pack to turn up.

Haven't posted on here for a while, and apologies for turning up and ranting, but what the fuck is this.

I actually think ford has been doing some okay stuff, relative to everyone around him. His passes have put people in good spots. But they've the dropped them.

Fax has lost his head. So he'll probably go to ten and ford off at half time.

Turns out Ewels may not be that good.dont really understand why he's getting a shot. Are we short of lock options?

Why do England coaches do weird shit when it comes to the back row? What's the fucking point? I feel like the rfu is trolling this board at this point.

I see England's rugby league have just replaced their Australian coach with an English one. Dreams!

Not having Mako is a big problem as the carriers aren’t there. I’d change the whole front row. All three have done nothing. At least then there are three dynamic forwards on. Sinkler hasn’t been himself sadly.

There were 16-0 up at the half last year too.

Fuck me Furbank caught one!!!! Game on!

I thinks he's shit, but today he is crocked. His leadership is awful. He is just sulking and squeezing the joy out of everyone around him by imposing his limitations on every play. He has to be yanked off, Shirley?

Better from Ford and a great steal from Lawes.

And he's still on. That's ridiculous.

Indeed. Similar the year before vs. Ireland too.

If we can get a foothold in the game, stranger things have happened. I’m not able to watch it so relying on the comments of some trusted posters and entirely ignoring a good few others.

A yard from the line, the only French defender on the right of the ruck is Fickou so Marler goes left into the entire French pack! Genius!!

Joseph you cockend!!!!

Did my head in. A dick measuring game instead of heads up rugby

This short mullet haircut fad has to stop.

Jesus Christ please get LCD and Genge on!!!

The absence of any clear thought the second white line fever kicked in is thoroughly depressing.

The body language of the players is just abysmal. They don't believe.

Should have taken the three. They're 3 scores down. That would have made it two scores down.

Itoje is overdue a yellow.

Wow! The French are good.

The difference in the scrum halves is a chasm.

Giving up on watching now. Well done, France. Riot act now to be read to a squad that has got complacent.

Yep.

Ewels international career over?
