Was fair. He never left his feet, we didn't down it over the line. Ollivon has been superb to be fairNo way can you give that
I honestly think we haven't actually played that bad, apart from some poor penalties. France have just been excellent. ImperiousWell and truly spanked on home soil.
Actually, they are. France are good but England are handing them this game gift wrapped with extra bows.They aren't actually. France are just superb. Almost flawless
I think he can leave his feet to score anyway as long as he comes from the right side. Pretty good spot either way by the on field team.Was fair. He never left his feet, we didn't down it over the line. Ollivon has been superb to be fair
It is the same daft mistakes though that have cost us but you cannot take anything away from France, they have been very good.I honestly think we haven't actually played that bad, apart from some poor penalties. France have just been excellent. Imperious
I would disagree. Even Ireland struggled with this back line. And they are a much better side than usActually, they are. France are good but England are handing them this game gift wrapped with extra bows.
True that I guess. I just think we need to credit France for their playIt is the same daft mistakes though that have cost us but you cannot take anything away from France, they have been very good.
Certainly do. They must be one of the favourites to take the World Cup.True that I guess. I just think we need to credit France for their play

That’s an understatement! They will Win it in my opinion.Certainly do. They must be one of the favourites to take the World Cup.
Yeah. It's not going to be pleasant is it?I dread to think what Ireland are going to do to England next week !
The Tuilagi/Danty comment did make me smile when mentioned.Well that didn't go to plan did it!
I must admit, I usually watch these games with eagle eyes and love to get down into the nitty-gritty. At 17-0 down, I watched the rest of the first half over the top of my phone. Second half I felt we started more positively and had better possession but we still look as blunt as we did under Jones on the attacking front. I wasn't expecting complete change against a top team but I really thought we'd see some glimpses of positivity but I just felt that France (or more specifically, Danty!) just never let us play. I did laugh when they made a reference to Tuilagi pretending to be Danty in training leading up to the weekend!
Not sure it deserved a boo at the end - France were incredible, borderly insane. DuPont just never seems to put a foot wrong against England. No panic button pushing me for me personally, Ireland and France's dominance did not occur overnight. Speaking of Ireland, their depth of resilience yesterday at Murrayfield was spectacular. When Van Der Flier stops smashing people in tackles and pinching balls at the break down to throwing line outs and taking the ball into mauls, you have to just be impressed!
And what about Healy, a prop, having to be a hooker for 20 odd minutes because both hookers were injured ....... and not claim uncontested scrums !! ..... and he more than held his own !!!!Speaking of Ireland, their depth of resilience yesterday at Murrayfield was spectacular.
