England take the lead.

Borthwick IN for the World Cup!

Penalty to France!

Holy crap. What a game!

Both teams deserve to lose.

No game management at all.

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

High drama.

Rassie's teams can.

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

Ramos with his Jordan game 6 moment.

Itoje is losing it.

Haven't seen a replay of the high shot?

Thomas Ramos for the win.

France win.

But what a brilliant effort from England.

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

And he hits it over.

France win the game and th Championship.

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

Great game to watch. Good result too

One of the greatest rugby games of all time.

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

Henry Pollock you absolute drip.

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

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

Who dealt the high shot

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

Fuck em.

End of 6N Ireland would have beaten both sides

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.

Commentator barely keeping the tears back

Hopefully Pollock

48-46.

94 points. Crazy stuff.

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.

Haha yeah

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

Clearly powderpuff rugby where defence is optional with a score like that.

They could have ... tried?

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.

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.

Chessum, Earl and Hayes were immense for England tonight.
They will be rueing the Genge YC

Shaun Edwards has passed his expiry date.

While all your points are valid, the point im making is the defending winger cant bite in as easily with Tangitau loitering with intent out there. You can give a Telea or a Reece a few yards of a head start.

It should free up a yard of space for the centres and presumably we could upskill him into a kick chase weapon too.

We need top end gas in the Allblacks.
