Macalou not starting is retarded. This is just the test he needs.

Main interest for Fra is Couilloud whose distribution is 100x better than Snail Serin.

Lovely try.

Englands defence made to loom average against a team that can pass and run decent lines

So frustrating, Johnny May in oceans of space and the first reaction is to give it to Ford to hoof it down the pitch

Has Sinckler been onside at a singe ruck yet? Apparently shouting "out" gives you an invisibility cloak.

Think England should kick more. They’re a bit loose at the moment.

France look good
Looking like the best team England have played even if they are inexperienced.

Would be interesting to see what Eng would do if Fra got another try.

Underhill giving away a lot of penalties today, unusual

And there you go: the midget Villiere is a menace at a breakdown. Mad strength for someone so small.

Is Genge just one of these guys that change into a bit of a dick when they play but a good guy off the field, or just quite an unpleasant character?

They've always had this kind of depth. Coaching is the only thing that's let them down.

England are currently playing into their hands by constantly feeding them ball and allowing them to dictate terms. Against a team so unfamiliar with each other England should be aiming to go through multiple phases and test their defensive cohesion over more than a few seconds.

Stupid penalties also not helping England's cause.
