Just as I was saying.....

[WaspInWales]

That's a gimmie.

Foot in touch though?

[Banquo]

Huget really isn't organising the back 3 at all.

Curry mismatched himself

Lol but who cares when he can run like that. Rubbish from us there tbh

[Galfon]

Great score Penaud in corner after Huguet break.
Con Parra wide.
23-8 after 36 min.

[WaspInWales]

Need to get my eyes tested

[WaspInWales]

Great read from Huget? It was a poor decision by Farrell...we had an overlap ffs.

[Mikey Brown]

Well Ashton is still a bit of a spaz isn’t he. Shame.

[Galfon]

Curry is in battering form.

[WaspInWales]

Great take by Lawes.

BP in the bag!!!!

[Banquo]

Lovely from Youngs. French backfield is as effective as the Maginot line.

[Mellsblue]

They look very good in the phase where they don’t rely on being coached.

The one time I wanted Farrell to kick, he doesn’t and Daly gets marmalised.

Nice finish from Slade to make up for the initial miss on Huget for Penaud’s try.

[WaspInWales]

Nice kick Faz.

[Galfon]

Try Slade - dinky/chase #whatever 40 mins.
30 - 8 at HT
Con Faz
Something to build on for EJ.

[Buggaluggs]

This french team is shit

[WaspInWales]

France fucking poor. England making the most of things.

[Spiffy]

France are a bit of a larf. England enjoying a training ground romp of unopposed rugby. All great fun.

[Banquo]

Fair play, some excellent performances. Faz a very good half. But the pack are splendid.

[Galfon]

This french team is shit

official..

[Sourdust]

England were miles better than this last week. France have to be in with a shout of a Perrier Award.

[Tigersman]

Hoping Robson and Ford get more than 5 mins today, both would suit this now.

Maybe give it 10 to see if the french change their mindset if not bring those two on.

[Epaminondas Pules]

That’s a grand first half. The French try was after a tackle to Curry’s face, which isn’t high is it Nigel? Still we’ve done everything they didn’t expect us to do and it has worked time after time. This is lovely to see. We’ve chosen a different tactic to pull France apart and it has worked. France haven’t adapted at all so we’ve continued to use it. Beautiful!!

Good shout, but I don't think Robson will see more than 15 minutes.

[francoisfou]

Let’s not feel too dispirited cos George Ford’ll be on soon to hammer the last nails in the frog coffin!

[Banquo]

Frankly I'd let the midfield have as much game time as they can, all helps to get in sync in attack and defence.

This!!

Especially when it comes to changes. Straight Ford for Farrell to keep 12/13 together.
