The Rugby thread

Looks like we're in for a humdinger of a north south derby today
 
England cannot possibly lose from here like they usually do.
 
Another question. What is the lump under the tape that circles the thighs? Usually seen with forwards. Etzebeth comes to mind.

I did not expect to see England even get close to France. Strong second half. While his over enthusiastic celebration of every awarded scrum irritates me, Ben Earl had a massive game. Smith and Smith combo also worked well. Surprised that France did not hit Marcus Smith with some high bombs. I think they were over confident in their loose play game and the English defencive line speed was sold.

Smith and Co' did work well.

English defensive line speed was solid.
 
Hardly.

Helluva test. Man, it was so entertaining!

I thought France would win relatively comfortably. By more than a score.

England are no joke at Twickenham. Which is why all their home games are played there and nowhere else.
 
At the moment it is on a caretaker basis until the end of the 6N. Will have to wait and see if that becomes permanent.
