Oh boy, Smith telling his boys to use their heads.... after he's put a kick right into counter attacking hands and had it tidied up by his outsides.

Then makes a half break and throws a 20:80. Jesus wept.

Bielle-Biarrey has serious gas.

I'm struggling to believe France got that back by legal means.

Half the England backline standing a couple of metres away from the scrum.

These officials are abysmal.

Lawrence in for England.

Not clear and obvious

Try given.

Ref didn't muck about. Try given

England 7 France 7.

Love Ramos' disinterest in tackling Lawrence

Three minutes to half time.

And England have a penalty.

France look caked.

If Ramos had gone outside instead of in, France would be down the other end.

France have been wasteful in this first half. A couple of absolute coach killers in there.

And the whistle goes for half time. 7-7.

I can never understand why players choose to kick the ball out when they're a couple of metres from touch.

This commentary team is awful

@Steven-Harris said in 6N 2025: England v France:

This commentary team is awful

Not nearly as bad as the Italy-Wales one.........

Strong French start to the Second Half and then another French knock on.

Another one. Terrible finishing by France.

Weird 5 minutes. Sleightolme should have pinned his ears back there.

English lineout is terrible.

If you were downing a shot every time the French knock on, you'd be smashed as hell by now.

French penalty. 7-10 to the visitors.

England turn down a kickable penalty, then go for the corner and mess up the lineout.

Sloppy and unwise, take the three!

Freeman responds to the slave song.

Freedman in for England.

England 12 France 13

France starting to look like France, this continuation is sublime.

Penaud in.

Penaud scores.

Great Rugby in the build-up.

Conversion missed.

England 12 France 18.

Great game now.

Mounga Smith with the shithouse tip on, absolutely fucks a certain score.

Chessum has had a big impact since coming on.

Kickable England penalty.

Who the fucking fuck kicked that with a clear overlap and BB defending.

Dupont playing First Five.

Smith misses an easy kick at goal.

12 minutes to go. France lead by 6.

Scrum penalty for England.

Baxter scores for England.

England 17 France 18
