Under 20s - and it was a cracker. Great comeback from 21-5 down to win 45-21. Lots of skill on show but also lots of errors - which always makes for lots of entertainment. England were just that bit smarter. Well deserved Championship title.

Yes, fantastic game. Probably more entertaining than tonight’s 6N game will be. England were smarter, as you say, but the French backs…scary good for U-20s.

45 - 31 actually. It was a great comeback, but not 40 unanswered points great.

The tries the French backs scored in the 1st half were wonderful.

Apologies, everyone. After last week's performance I'm actually feeling a little twinge of excited anticipation about tonight's game, which means we're going to get bodied. Working hard on restoring my usual pessimism.

I can't watch the game live - question is, do I watch the recording when I get home, without checking the score 1st - I could avoid all the stress with a quick peek 1st.

We’ll get a red within ten minutes of kick off. Don’t concern yourself with hope. It’s a mug’s game if you’re an England supporter.

I'd watch without knowing the result until at least half time. Then follow my gut on whether or not I'd be happier just knowing if we win or lose.

Right, c'mon Phil. You can do it. One more lap.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 7:55 pm**

Need more night games in the 6N/international rugby. Feel like bigger games.

Agree, love Friday/ Saturday night games. Hate Sunday games

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:01 pm**

I don't recall seeing a kick off being replayed, ever

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:02 pm**

Itoje treading a very fine line already. Could easily have given away two pens.

Astonishing that he got away with the first one.

was referring to the lingering shot of Smiths face

Lol talking utter shite again.

Oh Christ, Smith at full back,?

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:10 pm**

Ah shit, Furbank gone already. On the plus side, Slick will get to see a lot more of Marcus.

France making ground in the centres but seem unable to hold onto the ball.

That was a very long 5 seconds

As he goose steps into a turnover.

Three English players inspect the ruck as Smith is turned over.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:20 pm**

I don’t understand the tactic of England making a half break then slowing down the ruck. It must be deliberate but why?

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:22 pm**

Bloody hell, fireworks and spotlights for a penalty? What happens when they score a try? A grand ball at Versailles?

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:22 pm**

These French young uns are going to be a problem.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:22 pm**

Some try.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:23 pm**

That is magnificent

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:23 pm**

Nice try.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:24 pm**

Get the subs off the field.

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:24 pm**

Smith had to take the man there

Posted: **Sat Mar 16, 2024 8:28 pm**

Itoje might be in bother.
