so are England just not as good as they were and are using a sociological game of sacrificing this championship and will come out all guns flying from now on

This has to be the worst 6 nations for England in a long while. Loss to Scotland and France, scraped past Wales without scoring a try.

Can't wait for the tabloids to run riot calling for Jones to be sacked.

Tbh England have got shown up pretty bad in this championship, lost pretty badly to the Scots, had a lot of fortune to beat Wales and look like loosing to France. There a good side but i'd question Jones coaching a lot of the same mistakes being made in every game.

I dunno, in a way I’d nearly prefer England to win this one. If they lose this and lose to us next week that’ll be 3 losses in a row and they haven’t lost a game in twickers since 2012. I think they’ll be pissed off and out for redemption next week.

They lost there twice in 2015

I agree. When’s the last time England lost 3 in a row?

Possibly?!

No tries for England when they needed 4 is fairly damning.

england have no back row. france's isn't much better to be fair.

when you think of the production line that wales and ireland are churning out.

Jones will have a jibe about bonus points I’m sure I’m the build up to next week

With the way results have gone we’d have it won under the old system by today as well (assuming France hold on)

If they're not interested in keeping the championship alive, then I'm not sure they that interested in redemption either.

Your point was valid though
They have looked average during large parts of this tournament

I remember every loaf eaten since '94. There was a few classic pan loaves in '02 and '06.

I've seen better rugby at Metro 10. 26 plus penalties where are the cards

Yep. That's what the BBC commentator said earlier if England win today in Paris.

I know about a young English lad who is doing a decent job on these shores......:P

Actually when I think of it, there is 2 young English lads doing ok......

Probably the fact that they didn't score a point for the last hour in that game confused you

Are the lads who were dropped from the French team after the Scotland game for breaking team rules still off the squad?

At least the French have shown passion.

England have shown nothing.

France will move up a bit, that is about it

bloodless_coup

Looking at the touch judges flag there, reminds me, why was the touch judge using an Ireland green flag in the previous game

England play competently for once!

rebel girl 15

Championship is done and dusted - no way England are scoring four tries in 8 minutes here unless France collapse completely

dublinman1990

Bollocks!!!!

That was class from Daly

MadYaker

I suppose they probably deserved that

Didactic Ninja

Bloody Itoje.

Daly is just class.

Chex LeMeneux

Bad miss for the interference in the lineout

PTH2009

Surly England can't do this ??

its_phil

An England win would probably suit so there isn’t as big a backlash

Didactic Ninja

lawes was folded in the buildup. he's had that coming !!
