Somehow I don’t think Mick Cleary will be quite so chipper after that game!

We now face Le Crunch. Good luck boys. Discipline, discipline and yet more discipline!

I bet. This was England’s best triple wooden spoon to date. Well worth being highlighted in the Sunday Telegraph tomorrow.

The answer to your question is NO!! France should surely not lose. This 6N has so far been a joke and must finish on a serious note with a French win!!

At least they weren't Spain, who by my count were (albeit only for a few seconds) down to ELEVEN MEN against Georgia earlier.

Can Eddie survive this?? Seriously, you'd think something needs to be done. ('needs' from an English perspective obviously. I'm perfectly happy for them to continue to flounder like this.)

Not sure they have too many other options at the moment. And next year they could do the slam. There not that much between any of the teams. Except Italy.

Be nice to have some consistency with those decisions.

We’re going for a four try winning point first.

Settled down a bit. I wonder how the large French forwards will cope with the pace in the second half.

Jonno says France forwards looked shocked, Wales have knocked them off course.

Bodes well for second half.

Got to fancy our chances as France tire. ANd they've already used two replacements. Mind you, when they scored, they made it look easy.
