I’m glad I’m not watching. Reading the comments on here is bad enough. Sounds like France are up for this and we haven’t turned up at all.

Could be embarrassing ...

I feel for him and the full back. The latter's experience feels tait-esque :(

Any sign of devoto?

That was well taken. Would have been easy to screw it up.

It's just embarrassing, and we could have done so much better with just 1-2 selection differences and a coach who can motivate consistently.

I mean, the only way this game can be a positive is if Farrell makes another one of his specials and actually gets banned this time.

If your judging by today there’s about 12 others in the same boat!

Some days it just doesn't go your way. Eng aren't really this shit. They'll be ok.

Balanced comment, good stuff. Rugby always flatters the team on top

15 minutes seems too short to complete a comeback

Yeah...but it's the same problems we've had for ages. And the problems are mainly ones we could predict.

We lack leadership, our captain is a whining git, we lacked carrying, we were a man down in the forwards, we made stupid mistakes (leadership), we were a man down in midfield.

And then we picked a novice 15, who didn't have a great game, and haven't played our replacement 3 despite the fact Sinckler has been shit.

It's poor and it's all very predictable, that's the problem.

Heinz needs to make decisions quicker. Good. Bad. Either way, just make them quicker.

Faz secures losing BP..scant reward for an awkward showing - didn't show much idea close to the French line.
Won't be much different next week unless step up a gear.

Well a lot of that was comical. Once Manu went off we had no go forward. Usual suspects not having a clue what to do or how to speed things up. Total mystery why Stuart and Devoto got zero chance when the players in front of them were piss uninterested or poor.

Nothing surprising there though, it went as expected given the fact that France turned up.

I don't think there'll be a grand slam this year. BPs might be vital. That was soft from France to gift that to Eng at the end.

Quick thoughts:

Dumb ass Farrell using weather as an excuse - beggars belief - Saracens crook! Not worthy of a regular test side let alone captaincy - truly thick guy.

T Curry starts at 7 or not at all from now on

Ewels is a club journeyman - donkey at this level, not enough ballast to enforce or ball carry, not enough athleticism to play an Itoje or Lawes role

Lawes is an impact sub , should never start at 6 again

Itoje poncing about the field with that stupid Asward haircut - another Saracens mercenary!

Young’s typically woeful

George was a bit pony too!

If Jones has any pride or humility he’d chuck the towel in now - ITS OVER!
