Grow a spine then.

No you aren't really.

As you don't have testicle, you'd be safe.

Incredible how the French can be indisciplined, maybe 10 off side penalties in 15 minutes.

Can’t stand this ref, awful.

England a totally different team leading France 12-10 @ HT

bit of greetings going on

Yep, 19 now.
Saw enough I’m out

Love how Chessum did absolutely nothing there apart from getting shoved around by the French players and gently slapped/tapped in the face and he's the one that got penalised. Never even raised his hands.

Just tuned in and surprised by the score. From round 1 form it looked like France would wack England.

A few key changes from the game against SA like dropping the hooker who can't throw and starting the reserve scrum half who got us playing more fluidly.

France have also contributed to their own downfall by consistently being offside and giving away lots of penalties as a result. Whether the interpretation is too strict or not, they have failed to adapt and it has cost them.

France really does not look good today, a mountain of unforced errors. Some of the U13 games i watched tbis week have less errors

Ja the ginger hooker had a mare. French forwards look a little sluggish from what I've seen. Weather looks lovely and the cicadas going in the background is such an Italian summer thing.

It's all starting to go a bit wrong for England now...

Must be setting a record for TMO usage in an U20s game.

7 a side soon.

Just catching up on it now, and wanted to comment on this! At worst he gives the hooker some verbals (and it's impossible to say how much), the hooker walks upto him, gives him a gentle slap, and Chessum then gets barged in the back, never reacts to any of it, yet gets penalised...

That was a topsy turvy couple of minutes. Red card to a potentially game winning lead.

England down to 12 and score a try!!!
29 20 up

Hendy came back on shortly before the red so we were back up to 13, but still impressive!

It’s that Dunkirk spirit when we defended against the French at Crimea.

Not quite sure how England managed to win that and with a bonus point as well. Crazy last 10 minutes

England played with a lot of guts and passion.

Bokkies far from the finish product but at least they try and do everything with speed. Maybe to much over eagerness.

28-3 HT.

Ref are very strict on the tackling and dish out yellows.

Sasha kicking to poles are shite but he sure is lovely to watch.

Yeah they need a few calm heads in their own 22 where they seem to want to run the ball from their own goalline but keep on making mistakes, lucky for them Ireland did not capitalise on any of those mistakes giving the ball to Ireland.
Nice to see them trying to run, but sometimes running is not the option.
Is it very humid there? Both sides seem to have loafs of handling errors.

Great South African summer weather.

Italian summer climate is the best in the world (except if you’re in Milan at 40C in a business suit).
But seriously there are so many reasons for keeping them in the 6 nations.

Bokkies played all their quotas in the 2nd half. They will need to play much better against France to qualify for the final.

If they are smart they will absolutely bum them.

SA looks quite good, but there's no one directing the side and calling plays, that I can see. They're not fully capitalising on the position/ball/momentum they're winning. Could become an issue if an opponent defends well against them.
