Well well, botched kick off catch and suddenly France with some work to do.

Oh that's a horror conversion for M.Smith.

****ing terrible kick by Smith ruins a great try and England still train

France are just so good to watch tbh - the little loops and pop passes when executed well are joyful.

Just heard comms say Penaud is 1 try short of equaling Serge Blanco.

Blanco played 93 tests. Penaud is at 53. Decent going.

England will probably lose this match while playing a good test match of rugby. Possibly by more points than Wales did earlier, who apparently were terrible.

If only Marcus Smith could kick

 

[ripper868]

Surely even he can't miss this one.

Great finish to the game (pending kick off)

Smart to give it to F. Smith to knock it over.

Not given the chance

What a match.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Albert Camus, Louis XIV, your boys took one hell of a Smithing

 

[Molehill]

Cracking game if a little littered by errors. But nice to win a close one for a change. The late bonus point in Dublin now gives them half a chance for the title, if Ireland drop points somewhere.

Also worth noting the U20’s gave France a thrashing last night. Feels like there’s some decent young talent coming through.

What a match.

Was a bit of a classic.
