MichaelRobartes Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 England have the right idea in a way. Vital to keep the ball in play against this French side. They're not at all easy to contain once they get in the 22. Unbelievable show and go then 50/22 from Dupont. He's a freak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Good strike from Smith. Should have gone for goal last time imo. Then they cough up a penalty from the restart. Brutal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expected France to win but this is humiliating for England. I think you can see they were trying to keep the ball in play. Ireland showed you can gas the French that way. Some early kicking success but too many errors and frankly awful defence today. France look good but not perfect. Even Dupont made a few errors. That said, their scrum looks frightening and their backrow are destroying England's. Aldritt looks like a man with a point to prove. To be fair to Borthwick he's only been there five minutes.

MichaelRobartes Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 That was better. Good finish from Steward. Is that quick ball typical of Mitchell? I saw him twice for Saints against Munster this season and he was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
