There's not too many players who'll have the Italians scared on our bench.
Hook drop goal to take us two scores clear ,

I imagine they are tired because they are on the back foot all the time, however that is no reason just to kick it back to the opposition incessantly!

If Italy had the composure they would've won this. A big get out of Jail card for Wales today.

Intense old start at Twickenham , 3-3 after a pen apiece and 8mins gone.

Strange offside call from George Clancy and Flood gets a pen to make it
6-3 12mins

George Clancy has decided that any line out throw he sees from both sides will be straight , no matter what angle it comes in from.
Another Flood pen 9-3 , 17mins

Now Clancy decides punching the ball sideways out of the breakdown isn't a yellow card offence.
France pen
6-9 19mins.

Sheridan looks to be off with an injury for England.

All gone a bit scrappy and loose in the last five minutes. England did well to force a French knock on in attack and Poitrenaud messes up catching an up n under.

The skill levels have reached that of Italy v Wales in the past few minutes.

A lot of French pressure late in the first hald but they only have a missed pen to show for it ,
9-9 half time

Real contest at the scrum, with France having the edge. Corbisiero doing really well.
Not sure what England were doing in the last 15 mins, couldn't make the simple pass.
Can both teams keep up the intensity of play and tackling?

Great chance for England as Fracne cough up a scrumv attacking ball for them.
Foden is over for a fine try ,
14-9 , 41mins

Con missed by Flood , 14-9

Looking like Englands day as France knock on over the line.

France chucking this away unfortunately

Looks like it's going to be England's title this year barring any slipups against Scotland and Ireland

Need to see the angle on that French pass called forward. England deserve the lead due to taking their chances but Clancy has been harsh on France.

I wonder what difference the yellow card Easter should've been shown in the first half would've made. At least us celts will have Ashtons non try celebration to laugh at

Now Clancy ignores a knock on but Ashton messes up the scoring pass. England played to the whistle as they are entitled to but this ref should never be in charge of such an important game again.

Quite, I saw that too.


No matter how many times the BBC show it, the Frenchman will always be handing off that ball into touch.
