6 Nations round 5 - France v England

[tc27]

U21s looks like it was a good game.

Under 20s - and it was a cracker. Great comeback from 21-5 down to win 45-21. Lots of skill on show but also lots of errors - which always makes for lots of entertainment. England were just that bit smarter. Well deserved Championship title.

Yes, fantastic game. Probably more entertaining than tonight’s 6N game will be. England were smarter, as you say, but the French backs…scary good for U-20s.

45 - 31 actually. It was a great comeback, but not 40 unanswered points great.

The tries the French backs scored in the 1st half were wonderful.

Apologies, everyone. After last week's performance I'm actually feeling a little twinge of excited anticipation about tonight's game, which means we're going to get bodied. Working hard on restoring my usual pessimism.

I can't watch the game live - question is, do I watch the recording when I get home, without checking the score 1st - I could avoid all the stress with a quick peek 1st.

We’ll get a red within ten minutes of kick off. Don’t concern yourself with hope. It’s a mug’s game if you’re an England supporter.

I'd watch without knowing the result until at least half time. Then follow my gut on whether or not I'd be happier just knowing if we win or lose.

[PCPhil]

Right, c'mon Phil. You can do it. One more lap.

[Big D]

Need more night games in the 6N/international rugby. Feel like bigger games.

Agree, love Friday/ Saturday night games. Hate Sunday games

[Tichtheid]

I don't recall seeing a kick off being replayed, ever

[Big D]

Itoje treading a very fine line already. Could easily have given away two pens.

Astonishing that he got away with the first one.

I wonder how much footage will be mysteriously unavailable.

was referring to the lingering shot of Smiths face

[Big D]

Lol talking utter shite again.

[Hal Jordan]

Oh Christ, Smith at full back,?

[Oxbow]

Ah shit, Furbank gone already. On the plus side, Slick will get to see a lot more of Marcus.

[ScarfaceClaw]

France making ground in the centres but seem unable to hold onto the ball.

[Hal Jordan]

Anger wanking himself into oblivion.

Holding on so far. So to speak

[sturginho]

That was a very long 5 seconds

[fishfoodie]

So far play has been worthy of the dead rubber this is

As he goose steps into a turnover.

[Hal Jordan]

Three English players inspect the ruck as Smith is turned over.

[Slick]

I don’t understand the tactic of England making a half break then slowing down the ruck. It must be deliberate but why?

[Hal Jordan]

Bloody hell, fireworks and spotlights for a penalty? What happens when they score a try? A grand ball at Versailles?

[Big D]

These French young uns are going to be a problem.

[Blackmac]

Some try.

[Tichtheid]

That is magnificent

[Hal Jordan]

Nice try.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Get the subs off the field.

[Margin__Walker]

Smith had to take the man there

[Blackmac]

Itoje might be in bother.

[Hal Jordan]

Smith had to take the man there

Attacker did him like a kipper.

[Big D]

That's a scrum.

[Slick]

Looked harsh to me
