Haha, no, and you’re right, at is all a lot of hot air blowing and grand standing, designed to put the fear of god into the enemy!!!
French hands looking swift and deft so far – a flash of the old???
Parra the padda with the 1st shot at goal. And good!
I see there are a couple of changes for Los Pumas, Loosehead prop, inside centre… and I think 1 more!
3/0 France (7min)
France determined to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible. Making for a pretty fast paced game
Awesome try by England, Watson in the corner
Lovely tap pass by Slade to Watson.
Kick Good
7/3 England (12 min)
@ Just For Kicks:
He may be a very gifted sportsman in fact his League record shows he is but I just don’t appreciate fast-tracking and preferential treatment he is getting. You have to question the timing of his switch just seems to me as with some other code hoppers they are glory hunters. I mean he conveniently changed codes not long before World Cup in his home country…
England looking very strong. Lots of go forward ball, and tackling the French back meters at a time. Good pressure.

@ Just For Kicks:

74 @ Bullscot:
The dog is walking you… not the other way around!

Smacks of SBW-ism, but it is the common theme of this world cup of trying to bulk up the centre size. All teams are doing it, and this is Englands answer, but yes, I agree, it doesn’t always leave a good taste in ones mouth. Lets just hope he doesn’t follow in SBW’s steps and convert back again post world cup.

@ grootblousmile:
haha you funny man but probably right am lekker klaar tonight so she is walking me while I just stroll along holding on the lead
Slade certainly showing up Burgess so far
England looking very strong so far
@ Just For Kicks:
Gosh! England have loads of pace out wide with Jonny May as well, in a pretty good position if they can leave the likes of Chris Ashton, who was showing good form again last season
@ Bullscot:Yeah, May and Watson looking very fleet footed

His Exeter boss was saying he thought he was in great form and really should be going to World Cup. Playing centre tonight but at flyhalf for Exeter last season so could be a good utility option for England.
Parra slots a penalty.
12/6 England (26 min)
Enjoy rest of game folk time to sit down and give eyes rest from the screen.
@ Bullscot:yes, and he has been chopping and changing with Farrell a bit this game, and is certainly offering a slightly different dimension to Englands game.

Los Pumas also out on the pitch now
