Pollock tits on a bull

Where was this England last week

sparky

England take the lead.

W32

Borthwick IN for the World Cup!

Jailbreak7

Penalty to France!

Victor Meldrew

Holy crap. What a game!

Jet

Both teams deserve to lose.

No game management at all.

You cant concede 45 points and expect to win a match.

Rassie's teams can.

Didn’t Itoje just knock it out of his hands?

Jet

Ramos with his Jordan game 6 moment.

JayCee

Itoje is losing it.

Haven't seen a replay of the high shot?

sparky

Thomas Ramos for the win.

Victor Meldrew

France win.

But what a brilliant effort from England.

France were very lucky. Didn't deserve that imo.

sparky

And he hits it over.

France win the game and th Championship.

Jet

Itoje with premier league esque standing over the pens spot antics.

W32

Great game to watch. Good result too

sparky

One of the greatest rugby games of all time.

Epic stuff and the game was in the balance until the last moment.

frugby

Henry Pollock you absolute drip.

Kruse

Holy shit. You can't complain about 6N being boring....

Jailbreak7

@akan004 Agreed. England were the better team. France had the crowd

W32

Who dealt the high shot

Jet

The best thing about that game is that Ireland had hope for 82 minutes.

Fuck em.

JayCee

End of 6N Ireland would have beaten both sides

Nepia

Yes. I really didn't want a England win as it would be a win for two teams I dislike.

Basketball rugby, I'm surprised Stephen Jones hasn't dropped dead so he can roll over in his grave at that scoreline.

W32

Commentator barely keeping the tears back

sparky

48-46.

94 points. Crazy stuff.

Jet

A game of that drama did not deserve that jersey clash.

Not sure I ever could do a re-watch. It was tedious enough on the eyes.

Jailbreak7

Well at least we didn't have to suffer Ireland winning the 6N

<NH ragebaiting>
Clearly powderpuff rugby where defence is optional with a score like that.

France are a basket case.

Dupont's reputation is doing some heavy lifting for his game management skills.

You cant be conceding 46 points at home.

Yeah but a team featuring Dupont won and he's a fuckhead.

It's not exactly great either way.

Jet

Need to get Tangitau into the Allblacks sharpish.

Speed on the wing makes some difference. It stretches the field laterally. The defence cant cheat.

It was too easy for teams to deal with Reece, later day Rieko, Telea and even Clarke to an extent. They knew they wouldnt be gassed.

Reiko has pace and some power, Telea is slippery as an eel and Clarke has power and deceptive pace.

Agree on all counts with Reece though.

That high tackle was weird. Dude tackled the supporting player without the ball. Itoje was fine.
