I get the feeling that the England players are very entitled and it’s impossible for them to put their egos away and get on with it.

The saffers used to be like that!
used to be . . .
NZ or Aus are guna end up on the otherside of the draw; and put a spanner in the NH works

Talk of etoje not mixing with the others and having his own schedule just screams of a very unhealthy environment. If things are going their way on the day it can work as they have wonderful players… but apply some pressure and they just go home. A great shame that the NH teams are on one side of the draw practically ensuring one of them get to the next final.

But that is the same for the SH teams no?

All in all this thing is a manufactured event that is designed to have a SH v NH final come what may. It makes the likelihood of the two best teams meeting in the final less certain. I really can't get too enthused about it all but I guess I'll still watch it. Which I suppose is the point.

RWC evil geniuses want to drag you into viewing a tournament that doesn't really appeal to you? The scoundrels!

You mean like Tupou Paea'i Okalani Vaa'?

Can see a nice red card ruining this one.

Really want England to get absolutely smashed but also want Ireland to win the 6N

Torn

Completely wrong. If France win then I can say Scotland beat the champions and claim a really lame #moralvictory

The French National Anthem really is a tune.

Hmmm not the best choices in Jersey colours

I'm struggling to pick players in reality.

Ah lads the game is unwatchable. That jersey clash is diabolical.

Who signed off on this.

Prime time game. Title decider. Cant pick out the players.

Was just about to write that

Last round no red for Wales for the 16 people with colour blindness who watch rugby

This round guess the scorer?

Absolute fucking shambles

Scrappy start by both teams

Even every Super Rugby CEO thinks this kit clash is a bit much

LBB only European player to get in a World XV

When the ball goes up in the air you have no idea who is under it.

Only off first phase ball do you know which players are which.

This is a shambles.....they need to stop the game and have one team change strip.

The over head shots wash out the French baby blue even more and it just looked like 30 players wearing white

Loving your irony.

And LB-B scores in every game in back-to-back 6 Nations. A wizard on the left wing.

irony......trolling. Same thing.

And LB-B has a double.

England far too narrow in defence.

Caleb Clarke would have scored between the posts.

You cant even read the numbers on the French shirts.

They have numbers?

He should have won world POTY ahead of Marx in my opinion.

That rolling it to the back of the ruck with your hand for a box kick needs to be outlawed.

Hands on the ball and you should be fair game.

Really good game so far. England have been the better team.

TMO got that right. Players from both teams were in contact when that was grounded. No try.

England score their third try to draw level. 17-17 after 27 minutes.

Much better from England. Playing with purpose.

Ben Earl getting back to form. Damn good so far.

If the score stays exactly like this, Ireland are champions.

These ads on itv here drive me mad

Hell of a game so far.

Conflicted. Actually want England to win but want France to win the 6N's

England monster the French scrum.

Alex Coles scores to take the lead for a rampant England.

England win a small set piece moment and they've won the RWC again. Rotten.

We can forget about them being a world power.
