England are going to roll over France even if playing at 60-75%. This French team cannot hold their discipline.

Trading penalties makes for a poo poo game to watch.

Not sure scoring nothing but penalty kicks constitutes rolling over. Neither team has looked good with ball in hand.

On paper yes England should win but they seem to be having trouble being on side, Mr not just 1 player thier whole defensive line is a good yard offside trying to rush the defence.

Not so far, that's a prediction there, the Future will decide. The Eddie Jones era has been more watchable than many recently.

Definitely not confident enough for a :toxx:

That has been the main problem in the first half. I think it'll improve second half... hell of a team talk to face.

He has been. I haven't watched a single minute of the Americas Rugby Championship so haven't seen him play in 9 months, but yeah probably still good.

If England make any lasting changes off the back of this tournament then surely it'll be the balance of their back row. Looking at this 6Nations you'd have to say the likes of Watson, Navidi, Camara and Leavy have all showed what an old fashioned fetcher at 7 can do for a team.

France have just been a wall in defence really, and their back have been good. Very impressed with Doumayrou and Grosso.

England are still in this, they can pull an Irleand here.

Problem is there isn’t a good old fashioned 7 in England. Even Underhill’s more of a defence guy than a ruck guy.

England just doesn't have that player for whatever reason. It's not Robshaw's fault, I think he played a good game again today but his team just won't come with him.

England doesn't have a 'pure 7', but they also don't have a real grinding 6, past their best 8 they have no depth, and their chosen 1 and 3 are exhausted and don't do much.

It's really weird to me that England shuffles their players in a weird way because everyone is missing core skills or game-breaking ability. 7 shifts to 6, 6 to 5, 13 to 12, 12 to 10, they're playing a 15 at 14 but 15 for this game with another 15 at 14, it's just weird.

They aren't bad but Ireland have passed them for sure as the best NH team.
