Keyboard trouble on the iMac?
All French have to do is swing the ball wide or chip it to the wings and they are on the front foot
England kick directly out… waste
@ grootblousmile:hahaha – Ipad, though, not Mac!
France scrum penalty, kickable… shot at goal
65 @ Just For Kicks:
Equally kak!
France 16 / 3 England
I really didn’t think that England would look this shambolic
Boss, the site is still blerrie slow.
France penalty again… inside the England half… to touch it is, and touch is badly missed
….a touch of the England cricket team disease, it seems
70 @ Loosehead:
Nah, it’s good again.. no problems here
72 @ Just For Kicks:

67 @ grootblousmile:but It does make being able to sit in front of the telly with a roaring log fire a pleasure!!!
France scrum, 8m from their own line
75 @ Just For Kicks:

Pitch is buggered already.
Cole under the kosh a bit
France get yet another scrum penalty, a relieving one this time
77 @ grootblousmile:Snow on the hills!
