Lyon are scoring some unreal tries against against Gloucester. Looking very good indeed. They have Mathieu Bastareaud back from US rugby and now playing as a no.8! He’s even bigger now but playing very well. Scored a try too. Yeah i'm shocked by how well Lyon are playing and nevertheless, Glouceste...

It's been years I've been saying this
Extremely overrated

Only thing where he does really excel is goal kicking (and tbf he is world class at that).
But other than that, he looks a bit of a journeyman (slow, indecisive)

For what it's worth i think Toulouse will win it outright this season. No shame in losing to them Not sure, still have big doubts about their pack and their outside defense They will suffer against the big Exeter pack for example...but then again, when you have Dupont and Kolbe, you can beat any te...

Dupont is the Dan Carter of scrummies.
So much similarities in the way they run, fend and the way they do it almost effortlessly

franch fan

That turnover by Madigan on Dupont was almost Pocock-like

franch fan

Dupont is just ridiculous. Surely the current best player in the world along with Itoje and with his teammate Kolbe not too much behind (what a try he scored as well) Those 3 plus Radradra and Mo'unga. Current top 5 for me. Cooney holding his own against the best 9 though. I would love it if Gatlan...

Toulouse and french forwards in general are so undisciplined.....

He opened the door and waves dupont through

Don't be too harsh with Cooney (who is having a good game btw), anyone can get skinned by Dupont.
A.Smith himself got totally skinned and outclassed by Dupont 3 years ago

Has Mola lost the plot putting Ramos at 10?

Toulouse are truly awful at defending mauls and pick and gos.
Exeter had a field day against them recently

So Frenchies, from your B/C squad who played today, who would you promote to a starters spot? I've been very impressed with the 11. Also Woki and the lock with the Italian name. Jalibert, Woki, Pesenti, Dulin and Villieres can easily make the first team in my opinion. Dulin was immaculate under the...

Can't see a ref born in Cardiff giving a homer performance for England :lol: :lol: :lol: England won the 6 Nations fair and square, even despite still not being over the RWC for the first few games. You can't complain France where robbed because they have some properly stupid players who cost point...

I don't think England stole the 6 Nations. France ahd good fortune to catch England still a bit mentally stuck in the RWC final for their win but England won the tournament fair and square. I be the first to admit ENgland got some fortunate ref calls for the Autumn Nations Cup final. But France whe...

Congrats England on your win and your year but even if i'm not neutral, you feel that they somehow stole both titles with France being the best team in each tournaments.

England looked lacklustre with the ball with no creativity or any threat. The Fr have discovered some real stars, Jalibert looked the part today, Woki is an incredible athlete, Greci looks like the lock they are looking for and Bourgrit offered more than enough. France were rubbish. They hardly got...

They already are and really should have won both the 6N and this Autumn cup.
England basicly stole both titles.

I think that phantom knock-on at the end decided it unfortunately though

Brace said it was a knock on so no need to review it.

franch fan

Macalou's supposed knock on which was crucial at this stage of this game and considering where it was (on English 22) was not even checked in the video....tells the whole story about this game

Totally undeserved win
Well done France, England stole you 2 titles this year but the tides will quickly turn.

France B' asking questions to the mighty English. Looks like England are too much pasta at lunch before the game. They are slow, and mainly seek to get rid of possession. Bizarre tactics. The bench will be key. France C bench versus England usual bench. So Frog, what did you think about Jalibert's ...

Young is the reason England didn't score there. It is his job to take control and spread the ball when the opportunity is out wide. England are lacking brains so far. Or guys. As if they don't trust their backs. Actually, England were even lucky to score 6 pts considering at least one of those 3pts...
