Been thinking it for a while. GP's the best SH in the game right now on form. Nah, Dupont still better. But the gap is closest its ever been. Dupont is better for sure, but Park is playing better at the moment No. Let's be honest, as good as JGP is (and he is frigging good, best 9 in the world if y...

There was huge wind, otherwise I feel he would have nailed it.

Why are you laughing? Have you already forgotten the one he nailed against this same LR team few months ago to win the game at the end?

For me. At least until Dupont wins one.

It's quite ironic in some sense that it might be because mostly of one of their SA cousin playing for Namibia that they are still leading the charge there.

Danty? Moefana who was on the bench. In fact Moefana and Depoortere play together in Bordeaux and do rather well. But Depoortere usually play 13. Tough to ask him to move at 12 for his first internationals when he barely has half a season of Top 14 under his belt. Then we have Gailleton as another ...

Who are the other options at 12 and 13 for France. The defense in the Centres was awful. Danty? Moefana who was on the bench.

lol France are a totally different beast with Ntamack and especially Dupont. Yep, both England and France have a lot of space to improve. France need a better front 5 IMO. Outstanding backs and back row France's front 5 were more than fine especially with Meafou and Flament. France's main issues we...

Ramos's kicking bar his lucky one in the last try has been totally counterproductive

franch fan

lol Penaud is ridiculous

franch fan

With only a decent 10, France would already be out of sight.
Ramos has been shite.

Dupont in the crowd must have liked that support line from his replacement 9.

franch fan

Now that's more like it and more reflective to the physionomy of this game so far

Huge dominance is a stretch. They haven't been able to control the ball. Neither side has.

Mmmm - they just over powered Wales. If England can match them for physicality it could be a close contest - France were pretty ordinary until Wales ran out of steam. That's already a big if. And even if they do, France will be playing at home and have overall better backs than England, even withou...

Already forgot the 51-0 during the 98 Grand Slam?
That was in England (Wembley).

Oups I forgot about that!

Especially as it seems England played their RWC final yesterday judging by their reaction at the end....rarely a good sign for the next game.

Tbf, they should have never still been in the game if France had just defended like a normal top 7 team.

No try for me, that's a knock on

The new French 15 is really average at best.
That last pass to Ramos was so poor

What has happened to Shaun Edwards? The French defence is non existent What’s more likely? Shaun Edwards has become shit or the French players have stopped listening/have gone on strike? I honestly think S.Edwards's pure defensive impact on that French team has been widely overrated by the British ...

Ireland are such a worse side with Murray than with JGP at 9....almost like France without Dupont.

:lol: French Fan still doesn't understand that rugby is a team sport. And you still don't understand that ultimately, it's the talent of few players which transcend their teams and their sports.

Nothing much at all between five teams in this Championship it seems. Maybe Wales a little bit worse than the other four, France probably a bit better once they get Dupont back. But you could throw a blanket over the five of them at the moment in terms of where they're at in 2024. Great for the cha...

Italy could have actually had 3 wins at we speak.
They were quite unlucky to not beat us two weeks ago and they could have really beaten England

Well f**king done Italy anyway, great for them and 6N on the whole as well.
No one can question their place in the 6N after their last two performances.

Everything that is wrong with the Italian mindset shown there when Garbisi kicked it out. You’re one score down and you have the ball with a huge overlap and you kick it out to get a breather. Garbisi is not that reflective of that Italian side mindset. He just has that top14 "calculating" reflex w...
