Re: France vs England - Official 6 Nations Thread - 16 March 24

By the way, message in a bottle... I have one spare ticket for tomorrow's game in Lyon at 9pm (mate had to cancel at the last minute). Let me know if you're interested.

Re: France vs England - Official 6 Nations Thread - 16 March 24

Obviously it'll be a French win. But a decent performance from England will keep the hope alive that our debonair, smooth talking, nonchalant coach will continue the march forward.

I'm pro Scotland having another independence vote and for there to be a set minimum period before they can vote again if they do not vote to leave.
