England seriously undercooked in the pack. Missing Billy, Hask and Robshaw big time.
Youngs having a mare, Ford anonymous.
Picamoles is looking imperious.
Has lawes got the worst hands of any professional rugby player in the world?
CJ Stander took the award for "Butter Fingers" in the first game.
Mike Brown has bagged the "**** of The Week" already with one and a half games to go.
Itoje is lucky another high hit is ignored.

Aled Brew?
Aye, spotted that second Itoje attempt. Why's he going so high?
Some kick that was! 😀
What did brown do?

To be fair, the Pound Shop Phil Mitchell had that sewn up before the tournament began.
18 nil to the ref!

With Hogg and L.Williams in the comp, it's a long way from a done deal.
Shoulder charged a player without the ball on France's first excursion down the right wing.
And for being Mike Brown.
🙂
France have managed to rattle England big time. We look very inaccurate and nervous. The scrum hasn't been the disaster that I was expecting.
In attack we seem to be running out of ideas very quickly and are resorting to kicks or just being rubbish and knocking on.

This happens in every single game!
The only positive so far has been Daly.

Been fiddling about Aussie style has a scrum been completed without a collapse?
We do look like a pack with a lot of players out of position... and no back row.
I'll take 9-9 though particularly given the yellow card - hopefully the big French units will tire in the 2nd half...

Because the forwards arent generating quick ball so the small england backs have no space and lack someone to bang it up
SCW has been pretty scathing about our back row. Wood needs to come off or the ref will tire of him constantly infringing.
What a mess.

None, but at least we haven't been penalised off the park or found a prop in the bin. I'll take that up against those French lumps.
"Scrumtime"
AAAARGH! STFU, Dayglo!
Why the fudge is Brown competiting at the breakdown to win turn overs? Where the hell is the back row? Jeez.
So close by Daly. Great tackle.
That is a ****ing ruck. How were england not holding on?
Justice done
England forwards are getting shat on and can only respond by trying to pick on the young 9
What the F*** are you on about?
**** me...
The lack of Billy and Mako is really showing up now. We can't generate any go forward.
What the F*** are you on about?
Wood hit him late after the whistle then Cloe had a go later. Open your other eye!
Wood has hit pretty much everyone on the field late, resided offside, gone in at the side and generally been a brainless muppet.
I'm just hoping the Northampton effect on North is like Picamoles not Wood!!!
Lets just get ask and harrison (never thought I'd say that) on.
The magic arm band!!!
LOL.
MOTM Picamoles, kind of says it all, not a decent player in today's england team.
#PissPoor&Lucky
Thank **** for that.
Some good stuff from England and did enough to go into the book as a win. Give France credit for the massive improvement from last year.
Well we got away with that...
Did EJ pull it out of the bag with the timing of his replacements?
Lots of work to do - not sure Wood can keep his place? The MO at 6 experiment wasn't a success - he looked a different player once he was back at lock?
Bottom line is we won't win much if we keep getting beaten in the pack...
Good gutsy win by England.
+ the ITV after match host is particularly annoying and clearly knows FA about rugby.

David Flatman? Your probably right ... 😀
V lucky England - far too many school boy errors..
Well played New Zealand! Your try saved the game.
LOL @ "magic arm guard"!
England were utterly shit. But they won, so there's that!
Why was Itoje going high and looking for trouble? Why was Wood such a donkey? Why is Courtney Lawes? Etc.
Generally poor by England, let off my unforced French errors. Ultimately good subs, but they should have been on at least ten minutes earlier. Not surprised by the MOTM, and he's been well out in front in the premiership stats.
Agreed on Picamoles. Immense.
