Les Rossbifs à la boucherie Ovalie

[LenCohen]

Feel a bit bad for both daly and furbank. They have the unmistakable air of men who know they don't belong at this level

[salanya]

The commentators saying this is probably England's best match....
If this is them playing well, I wouldn't want to see them playing poorly.

They don't watch much rugby, do they?

[Hal Jordan]

Congratulations France, well deserved.

[Torquemada 1420]

Dupont rightly gets the headlines but for me Fickou is the heartbeat of this terrific French team

He is the heart of the defence but you have Marchand, Aldritt, Villiere and Cros who are almost impossible to get past too.

[ScarfaceClaw]

The commentators saying this is probably England's best match.... :???:

The game against Ireland with 14 men surely.

[tc27]

Jones out

[fishfoodie]

England are looking much better with Randall on the field.

The speed of delivery is an Arctic summer away from Youngs.

It doesn't matter though if you pick a set of backs like Eddie does.

Clearly not. They are woefull.

Feel like they've been smoking crack.

[BnM]

Odd weren't in our favour but I enjoyed that one.
Good atmosphere.

[Paddington Bear]

Best team in the comp, can’t argue with that. Glad to have you back. Now fuck off

[ScarfaceClaw]

Jones out

Jones in. It’s not his fault.

[Tichtheid]

Well Done France, best team over the tournament by a distance

[tc27]

Wales are shit at the moment but gave France the best game this year by smashing the rucks

[Tichtheid]

[Plim]

Congratulations France. Deserved winners by some margin.

And a special mention for Italy on this last weekend.

[tc27]

Jones out

Let me guess...its Smiths fault?

[salanya]

Congrats France - winning all 5 matches, with some nice rugby too

[C69]

By a pinch over Ireland tbh

Nearly as bad as Wales this year. Quite depressing.

[Big D]

Congrat to France!

[Lobby]

Jones out

And Randall. The sooner he can get back to the Youngs Farrell axis, the happier he’ll be.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Jones out

Not even close. I’m sure Eddie will find a suitable excuse that shows they’d have won if only he’d been given absolute control over the planet.

They're not wrong.

Last week's performance against Ireland had a certain battling against the odds, valiant rear guard quality to it, but that had as much to do with Ireland being crap for 60 minutes as anything else.

This is the most coherent we've looked all tournament and it's still pretty poor.

France are deserved winners, they've suffocated us for the most part and only been threatened here and there.

[Tichtheid]

Well Done France, best team over the tournament by a distance

Bollox. They are flakey as fück still

Nope

[Gumboot]

Well done, France.

[Slick]

Well done France.

Wish they would kick just a little less but can’t argue with winning.

Love everything about French rugby so actually really chuffed for them

[TheFrog]

England is the team that has the most disrespect for the overlap. It is against their genes.

Disappointing.

[ASMO]

Well done France, well deserved... oh and Eddie fuck off

[TheFrog]

It took France 12 years to come back to European heights. It looks like now we have the right set up in place.

Long may it last.

Yeah, agree with all of that

[Torquemada 1420]

Wales are shit at the moment but gave France the best game this year by smashing the rucks

Helped by
- Dupont being injured in the run up and having an off game
- Aldritt having been ill all week (and should not have played) and so absent around the park.... which meant Suitcase Jelonch left Cros on his own in the backrow
- Ntamack's insistence in kicking everything right after the one time he didn't kick, France score a try

It won't happen again.

[petej]

Congrats France. Clearly the best team this year.

Jones hasn't a clue how to use the resources he has and our game plan hasn't progressed. He would rather stick to fading players than adapt the game plan to suit those coming through,

[Torquemada 1420]

Well Done France, best team over the tournament by a distance

Bollox. They are flakey as fück still

No. That's clearly nonsense. Every French team of the past would have folded in the Wales game and probably here too.

Tbh for wales this was an experimental year.
Unfortunately Joseph Mengele seems to have been the chief investigator.

Losing to Italy was an abomination.
Pivac out

[Uncle fester]

The last couple of years I really think Lawes has been a great player for England.

Yeah, wasted in the back row.

[Lobby]

With the exception of Youngs, who was dog shit as usual, the England players did better than I expected. They were still hampered by too many players out of position and the lack of an effective midfield, but it could (and probably should) have been much worse.

Congratulations to France, much the better team and a well-deserved Grand Slam.

England conceeded three tries because the couldn't slow down the French ball

[tc27]

If France can avoid a Ireland 2019 style collapse in form they are surely gonna be the 2nd NH RWC champs. Their defence is just so good.
