... And giving away stupid penalties

Nice try from England, but WHY won't the try scorer touch down nearer the posts. Cost England 2 points there

Was a pretty poor match over all!
It’s a shame that the ref the other week bottled that call against France otherwise it would be setting up for a GS show down between Ireland and Scotland! Who’d have thought that!

It’s super unlikely, need to beat Ireland and Italy with BP. England would have to beat Ireland as well without them getting a losing BP.
So yeh, it could happen beat Itay with BP takes them to 14 points, then it’s winner takes all in the final game in Dublin.

Yeh it’s pretty brutal that robbery. Would have set it up really nicely as both teams would be going into it with 4 wins.
Ireland are just so good at the moment though, I fully expect them to win the GS.

Nice to get the Calcutta Cup win today although far from perfect; makes the France TMO decision all the more annoying; we would be right in it now with 3 wins from 3 rather than 2!

South Africa deserved to beat England yesterday. Well played VdM.

I mentioned it before that there just seems to be no game plan for England, I welcome some fresh faces but the observation remains that too much kicking it and poor execution passing in attack make them stagnant. The amount of handling errors yesterday and even the number of times players were held up, I didn't think I was watching an International standard match.

Gutted for Italy! But how poor France looked

That was an insane finish!

Oh wow

He needs to go asap, he was boring and clueless as a player and Captain and is even worse as Head Coach. Admittedly there is something very rotten at the heart of English domestic Rugby and regardless of the deal between the RFU and Premiership Rugby the whole edifice is teetering on a sea of unsustainable debt but there is talent that can be worked with if the right coaches are at the helm of England. We're never again going to hit the heights that the likes of Ireland and NZ can achieve with their whole domestic systems that are geared specifically to feeding the requirements of the National sides, or SA that allow players to play abroad and still qualify for International duty but we could at least be competitive again.
