It is, I can assure you Problem for England is that France have turned up today and even fancy winning it, never mind losing by a big margin
Well Ireland would be deserved winners if things stay how they are. They pummelled England when the two teams met.

I bet this game is going down well across the Irish Sea. England completely failing to build on their great start.

Yep it's definitely going down well.

France are crazily unpredictable. This is the best they've played this year.

But that French kicker is awful !!!

Think it looked worse than it was.
I would have given him a yellow myself instead of a red.....he was certainly lucky to escape anything for it

The frustrating thing is we started so well with some great handling for the try. Then just like against Scotland last week, the first half has started falling away. This England team really struggles to keep up the intensity.

His tackle looked like something straight out of the NFL!

That's France all over though isn't it? Expect them to be poor and take a hammering and then they show up and play.

Your right, and it was so late that the decision by the ref and TMO was laughable to be honest.
Lawes should have been off

This is turning into a bit of a nightmare for the officials. So many big calls

And nearly all of them wrong, which is not what you would expect from a TMO

Jaysus, the TMO is earning his cheque in this one! Great first half.

Yes, but severe lecture telling brown he'd be sent off if he did it again. Maybe half time will reveal it.
