On a different note, was it me or did Jamie George have a quietly really good game? Seemed to pop up a few times to get on loose ball, line out went well.... Carried well, supported other carriers well, good soft hands on at least two occasions. Only one line out where he threw to the French side, ...

Well, at least some people have post Brexit plans: LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should be ready to use military force to support its global interests after Brexit, defence minister Gavin Williamson will say on Monday, adding that the boundaries between peace and war are becoming blurred. Williamson w...

I used to like the fact that the Eurotunnel terminal used to be at Waterloo Station. Whoever decided to move it to St Pancras messed up. Au contraire. St Pancras' feast day is 12 May, which also happens to be the date in 1689 that King William III (William of Orange) joined the League of Augsberg, ...

Brexit is going to be a bonanza of cheap food now is it? The Little Englanders are like bullshit whack-a-moles. It could be, and I've explained why. Either refute it with reasons or get back in your box. Of course, it very much depends on the tariffs decided on by the government of the day. Every c...

Is this an historical gag or do you just hate the pseudo gothic?
I liked the historical angle
Are we talking Napoleon?

Missed this So we are leaving in order to be able to benefit from cheaper Indian cheese. Got it You're better than that. Shame . You don't think we'd benefit from cheaper food imports? It's an example. There are many. Any food we import from warmer climates like the Mediterranean is fair game for t...

I will buck the trend and say I've seen 6N teams play much worse than France did today (and not just Italy). England were just irresistible and even including the 2003 team I don't think I've seen any England team put in such complete performances as their last two - and that despite the fact that ...

Yes let's replace one totally arbitrary system with another. Why not This. Elliot Daly (England) v Yoann Huget (France): The big man from Toulouse had a very busy but competent day as England bombed the French back three. Daly’s aerial skills held up well too, but his footballing intellect and acce...

Possibly the most exiting England rugby team I've ever watched. I hope Wales can find the chink in the armour...but I don't think so. France were junk, yes, but England played sublime rugby at tempo...looked like a world beating side today. Have they jizzed in their pants before they could get thei...

Ok, let's talk about the bench

For me a bit of a step down this weekend.

Perhaps a comment on the quality of the starters but I did not think Cole, Moon, Hughes were 'finishers

Ford, Robson, even my not-so-secret crush Nowell did not show anything special

Change of intention for Jones maybe

Lambey and Iturria were piss poor, weak in carrying and in the tackle, Guirado and Pica were even worse. If Lambey and Iturria are the future then another decade of disappointment awaits. In the backs Lopez offers nothing, and Ramos seemed to lack pace for a full back. Huget and Thomas should be th...

France have the most natural talent of any side England are yet to face this 6N. France the most likely IMO. Italy - nah Scotland - England should smash them to bits, and I hope that happens Wales - all the Welsh on here are sawing that Gatland doesn't care about this 6N, so he will continue select...
