Home crowd call saying Smith not in front of Ford from that kick, but the game goes on, and it's starting to open up a bit, solid rugby now!

Get the feeling England have finally tightened up enough and Fiji are running on fumes, England by 10 here me thinks.

Useless, useless bastards.

Like a non-swimming midget in the deep end of the pool, Borthwick is very obviously out of his depth.

Time for the RFU to blow their whistle, jump in to save him from drowning and pulling us all down with him.

This team was pretty dire under a better coach only twelve months ago. Yes, Borthwick should go but I think this is just how it's going to be for English rugby for a long time.

Way to close to the World Cup to do that

He's taken a poor team and made them worse with godawful, antidiluvian kick and chase tactics that were outdated when we still had Dean Richards turning out at #8.

Even Itoje looks a busted flush right now.

Genuinely think we could bring in any semi competent coach (what's Dave Rennie up to?) and we'd look better in a fortnight.

Wallabies do 2 good things but then 1 really dumb thing, story of the half so far.

Also, need a goal kicker, Gordon aint it.

French getting the slight rub with some calls (like the collapsed maul on half time where Dupont had taken the ball out), but ultimately think the score a fair reflection that France have been better, at least in discipline.

If nothing else, today showed Vunivalu is not test standard, he's barely Super Rugby standard tbf. Should be on first plane home and bring in A.Nother.

Biggest benefit of today is the game is at silly o clock in Aus and most people won't know it even happened.
