Itoje is just the definition of a pain in the ass in a good way.

Frightening to think that same scrum got absolutely destroyed by SA's scrum in last RWC.
It wasn't the same scrum

90% of it was the same

You're serious?
Even French commentators are saying the yellow was really severe, let alone a red lol

Lol Poite trying to do France some favor

There was barely anything by Hill on that play.

The Fr team needs more grunt from the locks and that's been a problem for a long time. I am not a fan of 10, he kicks well but doesn't even attempt to attack the line, mostly shovelling the ball on to the centres.Fickou impressed tonight and Thomas looked sharper than he has for a while.

We are absolutely stacked all over the pitch. Need to hoover up these next 5 games with ease. Also obligatory Jack f**king Willis. Your depth at second row and backrow is quite unbelievable, as a French fan i'm very envious of that. It’s nice to have a french team going forward hopefully as a decen...

Take Dupont and Vakatawa out from this French team and this is a very ordinary team You are still clueless I see. Young team, doing well against an experienced side. They have good potential.

You could say the same for any country

NZ and England are not so dependent on 2-3 players.

Forget best number 9 in the world, he is one of the current top 5 best players in the world.

France also look like they have an international standard 10 for the first time since, well, errr, Lamaison I guess

Hum not so convinced by him.
Good player but hardly world class in my opinion.

What is your take on N'Tamack?

Décent but don't think he's world class...yet.

Good French try even though Vakatawa's offload might have been forward.
Dupont seems to always be on the right place to support his teammates breaks, very underrated quality

franch fan

Adams produced a rare feat on that play, stopping Dupont to score with the tryline wide open.
What a tackle!
But still not enough to prevent France to score.

franch fan

How a supposedly top team like France can concede such a soft try as the first one and in the first 10min to make it worse?
Shaun Edwards will clearly not tolerate that

And no, i'm not Antoine Dupont :D More seriously, he gave a rare interview on l'Equipe yesterday, there are the main parts: In an interview with L’Équipe published this Friday, Antoine Dupont said which player impressed him the most when he was a child: “Frédéric Michalak.

Richie McCaw was twice the player that Kieran Read was That's effectively what you're saying, and I disagree! And I also hugely disagree. Mccaw was obviously great but despite obviously not getting to his level, you see many backrowers with his skills (poacher, incredible workrate, playing at the e...

He had to take it over his head; but a good rugby player would then have taken contact and recycled, rather than try a "Hail Mary" that was now no longer on. Note that I never said he wasn't the main culprit on that play. I'm just saying that his style of play is already risky enough to have en plu...

A truly mercurial talent . At times he just played with the Exeter defence , carving them open at will .

Probable 6N win in a few weeks, Champions cup and challenge cup won by English teams.
For all the talk about some French renaissance or Irish resistance, England are quite clearly the dominant country in NH rugby.

That was a great match. Congrats Exe. I thought they would wilt with a man in the bin for the last 10. It was their time.

I'd blame it more on racing shitouses 9.
You put Dupont on this racing team and they probably win it in a canter.

Congratulations to Exeter. Well deserved. Wonderful club who do it the right way. Can't not admire them enough. Exeter in some ways had a few of their most shaky moments today, that gave Racing some easy attack, but they were ice cold in the last 10-12 minutes in defense, even down to 10 men. It wa...

Can any team (international or not) stop Exeter's pick and go near a tryline?
Ive never seen a side as efficient as them in that aspect.
