[Yeeb]

One of the pundits sayin England losing their shape in attack. Which shape was that then?

Shit shape

[sockwithaticket]

Could Farrell be converted into a fullback instead of Daly ?

Tackle completion percentage would plummet even further. He's also no better at passing, nor does he have Daly's pace.

So you could, but it wouldn't be any kind of improvement.

[JM2K6]

As has just been suggested to me, Daly has been taking running lessons from Alex Goode. Little skips before getting mashed in contact.

[Lemoentjie]

That shouldn't be a penalty to France in my opinion. Wasn't touching the ball, and very quick to blow

[Torquemada 1420]

And just to make the point again: that's THREE turnovers by Villiere.

[Hal Jordan]

Farrel having a mare so Ford to be marked down in tomorrows paper's.

Ford's already getting the blame for it on Twitter.

[Longshanks]

Shaun Edwards take a bow.
Hard to see England coming back. French are just too good in defence.

I don’t think his tackling is worse than Daly’s and his aerial skills can’t possibly be worse.
Watson would also do a good job at fb

Haven't seen him in the offense (missed the 1st half) but defensively he's been priceless so far, securing those surprise stray balls.

[JM2K6]

Come on Malins

[Hal Jordan]

Edwards nullifying an England team made of bosh and kick? That's never happened before...

[Torquemada 1420]

Geraci continues to f**k France over. The new Vaahaa

[ScarfaceClaw]

How long was that advantage?! For soft penalty was well.

That's the correct answer.

Farrell's tackle completion stats are already poor at inside centre. There's no way they get better in the more exposed position of fullback and we definitely don't need worse than Daly's efforts there.

Missed the big swinging headshot mind

Geraci has been a pen machine. Keeping Eng in touch single handedly,

I wonder if that's from his 7s background - don't commit too early and everyone has to know how to compete for the ball.

[BnM]

Game is already over..

[ScarfaceClaw]

Tough kick but at least eats some time up.

[JM2K6]

Harsh penalty, Stewart got out of the way of the ball immediately.

Teddy's position is under serious threat. Penaud to come back too

[PCPhil]

It’s like the World Cup final has left some serious scars.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Spider cam doing it’s best to put him off by rolling the shadow across the ball as he lines up the kick.

[Torquemada 1420]

F**K OFF REF

[sockwithaticket]

One bright spot, Robson's service has been good.

[Torquemada 1420]

Blatant knock on by Vunipola ignored by ref

[Hal Jordan]

It’s like the World Cup final has left some serious scars.

It's the same story when we can't beat up the opposition.

[Theflier]

shocking from brace

[ScarfaceClaw]

That’s a knock on by Farrell at the ruck.

[Marylandolorian]

Respect the kicker good job England

[JM2K6]

Can't agree with that call

[ScarfaceClaw]

Blatant knock on by Vunipola ignored by ref

Next ruck was worse.

[Longshanks]

What a great match!
Wow
Farrell don't muck up

[Torquemada 1420]

Nice bit of cheating ref. Ignore the knock on and get Eng back into the game

[Hal Jordan]

4th and goal.

[Slick]

That’s a knock on by Farrell at the ruck.

After the one from Billy, ffs

[Lemoentjie]

2 knock-ons, completely ignored.

I actually think winning this game for England will be worse. They'll continue to ignore big problems with their team. Their next Southern Hemisphere tour will be a wake up

[TNT]

Ah ffs. Should have left them score in the corner to secure the win from Farrel's boot.

[Yeeb]

Lolz

[Hal Jordan]

Oh God, not extra time.
