    France looking a bit disorganised so far, England are a bit sloppy though.

    If France win it’s a huge vote of confidence in trying youth and clearing out the old.

    Good break by Teddy and good recycling by France for the try.

    Itoje's a real menace at the breakdown. Complete arsehole if you're the opposition team/fans but he gets away with murder.

    The sound of Farrell tackling Vackatawa, I think he’s broken something.

    Edit - looked like a stinger

    We'll need to up ours to 2018 levels if we're to stand a chance.

    England in trouble here. Tuilagi off, Farrell looks in difficulty, France 10 points to the good.

    It's an enjoyable watch.

    10 - 0 up after 15 minutes against England and Galthié looks like someone killed his dog.

    That was particularly egregious as well. Just slapped the ball out of his hand

    England aren't switched on at all. They stopped playing after that kick.

    Owens is a divil for coaching the players mid game.

    Fair play to Owens for allowing that to play on even if it will get overturned by the TMO.

    I think so too. Would be bulling if that stood against Ireland. England players gave up as well which was crazy
