Ford so much better with improved service. Funny that.

What's your complaint now? Blatant sealing off isn't a penalty?

England were very lucky to win that game. Macalou looked very good when he played. Can't wait to watch this game in 2021 6 nations

Fark off. He reamed Fra in multiple match deciding positions. Under a bus too good for him.

I didn't expect to win that. France deserved to win. England tactics weren't good and lack of flexibility isn't good. That said if Owen had made the kicks we wouldn't have had the same match.

And yet somehow they're restraining themselves from screaming cheat at the ref and wishing death on him.

Well done to France, that was a hell of a performance.

England probably deserved to win the tournament but please get rid of Eddie, it’s soul destroying

Can't we just enjoy this? It was a brilliant match. The French were outstanding.
It's a meaningless cup. Get over it.

Take no real pleasure from England winning that, the horrific win at all costs anti-rugby won't change, and players like Youngs, Farrell and Daly will have secured themselves another shitload of caps.

Well done England on the win but well done to France, no one expected them to be in it and they will be disappointed with not winning, but they will be delighted with building a hell of a squad for 2023

I was quite naive to the tactic of deliberately pulling out of a ruck to then cause the attacking team to go in off their feet.

That's an old one. Refs don't give penalties for that now.

I hope we can get some supporters at the games in the 6N. Even the few there today seemed to make a difference and that was Twickenham

He's good, although he has been a bit too much of an apologist for Eddie's anti-rugby over the autumn series.

For all of the plaudits rightly being given to France’s defensive effort, the only reason the match went to extra time was the utter ineptitude of England’s attack. If Daley could pass, or Farrell could kick, England would have been well ahead by full time.

Well they do. Saw one the last week too, much more blatant with pen awarded.

First time I’ve personally seen the ref pull up a player for trying it on, though.

Bloke who knows a bloke suggesting the RFU are planning for 15-25,000 for the 6N. Take that with your chosen level of salt

I think that must be BS. All depends on government restrictions and effectiveness of vaccine. Talk of delayed 6N for 2021
