Well played France. Look a solid side now, we are back to dumb rugby, bloody frustrating to watch
I’m struggling to blame Townsend for that shite

Well done france. Horrible game, but they deserved it because the very few creative moments came from them.
Sets up a couple of tasty fixtures for the final weekend.

Difference between the sides was the single moment in the game Jalibert passed a decent ball to his backline rather than hoof it away.
Other than that, both sides were as abject as one another.
He's completely nullified the attacking threat in search of ground out results.

You were missing both 1st choice FHs. You just saw what happened to the best backline in the 6N when you don't have a pivot.Blackmac wrote: Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:05 pm He's completely nullified the attacking threat in search of ground out results.
Which is a viable tactic if it’s working, but clearly we need to show more if we’re going to beat better sides (sorry Wales, but right now that isn’t you).Blackmac wrote: Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:05 pmHe's completely nullified the attacking threat in search of ground out results.
Our improved defence seems to have been at the cost of any threat in attack.
It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
Which we have all been happy with until today. It’s the same as previously though, there is only so much you can blame a coach for players being as shite as they were todayBlackmac wrote: Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:05 pmHe's completely nullified the attacking threat in search of ground out results.

Way too far on this evidence. And Macalou not in the squad remains cutting of one's nose to spite one's face.laurent wrote: Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:36 pm Poor game however the good guys win ;)
Now comes France B for the next 2 games.
should be enough to beat Italy however England is a step too far

France were the better side. More powerful forwards and more skillful and elusive backs.

And Hogg continues to prove he is an utter **** of a man.

Just lol at the idea that a player thinking they were in control for 78 minutes of a sporting contest makes them an "utter cunt of a man".
And if Hogg had gone low on Vakatawa, it would've been a piss easy try. He had no other option but to try and target the ball & wrap him up.

Hogg’s actually way less of a **** than he was a few years ago. Which may actually be a shame, because his form isn’t what it used to be either.
