This could well be the 6N decider!!! What a big game. Let’s hope it lives up to expectations
This should be an excellent game. Can’t wait.
13 Minutes to go till kick-off
Seems from the commentary so far that no one is prepared to stick their necks out on this one
Watch Farrell, if he is true to form, the French are going to wind him up something rotten!
This one was so difficult to pick on Bru…
5 @ Just For Kicks:
I don’t rate Farrell at all.
England side out of the dressing room
Which farking Frog team is going to pitch up? That’s the question! Went for France by 1 on bru.

12 @ Loosehead:
Nah, he would not make the Bulls Vodacom Cup side
7 @ grootblousmile:Me nor, I am afraid to say. Big mistake not including Flood
This is so much better than having some ugly kiwi chick and Steve Hofmeyer singing the anthems!
Game ON!
Tryyyyyyyyy France, Huget!
Too easy for France. Lack of experience showing in the England side already
Wow, that was quick!
Blikskottel!
France 5 / 0 England
I picked France by 2 on Bru
32 Second try…
16 @ Loosehead:I thought Hofmeyer was the ugly kiwi chick
France has 6 forwards on the bench
Better play by England
Great pass by Farrel.
Deep in the France 22
Better by England
England penalty, 10m out… shot at goal
