    Was just about to say that France were making absolutely no ground at all despite countless phases and the Vaketawa does that...!

    I don't think there's anything clear about it. To me he's side on side, guirado has to make a side on tackle to hit him.

    The rule is you clearly have to be infront of the ball. I don't think he's clearly infront.

    It's pretty clear for me. He uses Vunipola to shield the ball and absorb the tackle

    Sorry for the poor quality but surely he is ahead of the ball carrier & obstructing the ball carrier

    3 turnovers in 2 minutes. France are so frustrating.

    Make that 4.

    Didn't hear what the commentator said there - are England wearing the poppy because of 1916?

    If so... Jeebus lucky we weren't playing them today.

    (sorry for the politics but it was raised in the game)

    100 year anniversary of the Somme.
    I presume the football team will do likewise in the Euros.

    Both these teams are dreadful at getting the ball out of their own half.

    Itoje is an incredible athlete. He'll be a big player for the Lions in 15 months.

    Itoje and Henderson must be nailed on lions test players. There is nobody else on this hemisphere who comes even close to their level of talent.

    Itoje has been phenomenal tonight.

    Depends on who is picking the team. If it's Gatty Warburton will be in there.
