Send a letter to BBC Alba asking them where the coverage is !

Even the skint Welsh have their match on S4C

So neutrality from the comms is not an option then?

They don't really make an effort anywhere do they ?

I mean for the senior side there'll be a commentator from both Countries, which is the way it should be for the U20s, but I think it's better to just make the feed available to all broadcasters, & then you can pick & choose where you watch & what commentary you get

To be clear, I'm really not asking for Scottish bias, I didn't like Hugh Dan MacLennan's efforts in the old Pro 12, he was almost Stevie Ferris-esque, worse since he wasn't an ex-player.

The guys tonight didn't even bother to learn most of the Scottish players' names.

I find myself growing away from the modern game more and more

I really liked the ref mic option on Amazon

I wish all broadcasters would offer it.

Stop the stupid penalties ...

Fra eng game is magic

Blimey, that was burglary at its finest

FFS another 0 Pass for england

Really annoying.

That was nice from the England scrum half

31 all at the hour - belter of a match

Great spirit from England but you have to say, France have blown both pieds off with their own shotgun

Game over

They are so fucking stupid ...

Fuck knows how we're winning this.

France should have been out of sight half an hour ago but they've contrived to lose it

Some fucking impressive athletes out there

French look massive. Have England just made them runaround too much?

Nah they are stupid and actually can't defend the maul (have been for the whole tournament)

The lineout looks a bit wobbly too.

Some very good French tries though.

They've made so many simple errors, over-running the ball carrier on at least two occasions with the line just there in front of them. Then the winger taking the wrong option in butchering a four on one

I had to turn the sound off when the English coms started laughing at 19 year old players making mistakes

Trouble is giving a single penalty almost always results in a try if the opposition mauls it .

You have to say, that is a great win for England, full of heart.

Enjoyed that performance from England there.

Lots of talent and experience on that French team, but they were able to put them under pressure.

Shocking indictment of the quality of top14 and proD2 rugby imo

Just finished as I had to pause and step away for a bit. Very, very good second half performance from England. At times in the first it looked like we were fortunate to keep haning in there, but having done so we really took it to the Froglets.

Fucking French; can't rely on them to do anything right.

Good plan, or half-time talk, Mr Mapletoft.

Clever stuff from Inger-land.

The French forwards are strong as fuck though. The French scrum was awesome.

I worry about the other five nations for the next decade.
