Yeah what was that?
I assumed it was goading of some sort?
Well that wasn't dull!
Don't think Ireland should be panicking yet. Bet they're wishing the French penalty taker would pull his finger out, though.

All that can be said in his defence was the ref called it fine in real time.

I can't see France caving in and losing the second half by 14 points plus.....it's not as if England were well on top and the French were barely hanging on, it's actually a very even game.
Regardless of what happens England have sorted two problem positions big time, 9 & 13
Youngs and JJ have been their player(s) of the tournament

Me neither but an England try and suddenly it's 19. It's been a strange day
That last penalty was absolutely amazing... Owens call no interference in play only to be directed to stop by the TMO that he would "take a look".. who the hell is reffing the match?? The TMO was always called upon when the ref decided... bizarre stuff.
Never seen it happen before!

Which is great.....every team has really gone for it today
England could still take it, 14 points isn't unrealistic and IMO England usually play better in the second half.

It's a very big ask though : France look like they have more points in them....it's hard to believe they wont put a few points on the board themselves

It`s a weird game all round, this could end up as anything
I would prefer Ireland win the championship now though, seeing as Wales cant

He slipped more than was tackled and then a ruck formed that France went off their feet at (and then never retired 10M)
