About time too
England will concede fewer penalties without him, probably score more penalties too. Smith deserves an extended run with a decent scrum-half partner.
Great try by France
This could be a long afternoon
Far too many mistakes. Weāre getting trashed.
Iām sat in a pub in York watching this, Thereās a group of Welsh sat in front of me absolutely loving it, one of them has had his larynx replaced and sounds like a sarcastic/gleefull Welsh Dalek. Cunt.
Said for ages we canāt tackle.
Go too high and you canāt do that against power teams.
Crying out for OF to steady the game.
OF wouldnāt do anything to stop the penalty count at the breakdown which was the main issue,
oh, we are so shit today. Even the Welsh lot in front of me are starting to feel sorry for us.
Got to say though, Smith has played his heart out and has taken a battering. Good lad.
50 pts at Twickenham FFS
Painful
I shudder to think what Ireland will do in Dublin
Much better game at Murrayfield
Really good game of rugby from two very fit teams. The game against England next week should be fun.
Not for England!
Comment from Steve Borthwick after the France game, I really donāt think they do know what to do and not in 6 months. It looks like its going to be a very misrible World Cup for England fans, best cheer on Ireland!
What a finish!
I thought Italy were going to nick it, then amazed that Scotland didnāt just kick it out to end the game.
Then length of the pitch for a try.
You have to feel for Italy this 6N, they have been so much better this year
Italy have been right up there but not quite with the finishing instinct. Itās been frustrating to watch, I hate to think how they feel!
France have a new centre!
Not sure what he is like over 20 yards but he is fast enough over 2
