Great game this so far in my opinion. Really enthralling.

Referee is letting it flow and the game is being played at a furious rate. Very entertaining.

Well that was an epic game

Yeah brilliant, both teams played so well at times and none of the brain farts that have ruined recent games.

PinkFloyd · 13 Mar 2021 at 18:30

That was a cracking game. Obviously happy with the final scoreline, but think that's been the most entertaining game of the competition so far. Great to watch lots of flowing rugby!

Classic! 3 point win like last year, soooo close!

Great game and I hope France carry their game onto their next.

That turned out to be one of the best games of the tournament so far! Very little kicking which is always nice to see!

Very very good game that! Would not have minded if ENG lost it. Wales battered Italy so deserve the praise now, but I hope next week these teams have a strong performance now (FRA v WAL).

spidiweb7 · 14 Mar 2021 at 10:23

We can only hope the Sco v Ire game later on provides the same amount of entertainment!

If the french team keeps developing they will be a real threat in the World Cup. and that was a really good game, i really enjoyed watching it.

One of the best things about the England France game was the ball in play time. The referee wasn't a whistle happy moron like Poitre and "son of Poitre". At the end of the first half about 50% of each team was walking and it created space for attacking play, same in the second half. International rugby can be a dull affair when time in play drops below 30 minutes a half and the defence is so organised there is no space. With such good conditioning and so many subs in modern rugby we need to tire the players out to make the game entertaining.

Yes the ref made the game free flowing and highlighted that cheese head from the Wales game was terrible that day.

As a Scot; thoroughly disappointed with our campaign again this year; feels like yet another false dawn for Scottish Rugby; beat England at Twickenham for the first time since 1984 and then we can't even win a home match; I honestly don't know what it is thats going on anymore.

Anyone having any joy in getting Rugby world cup tickets? I been stuck on 29% for 1hr.

PlacidCasual · 15 Mar 2021 at 11:54

Yeah RWC2023 presale for Mastercard users.
You can only check out if you have a Mastercard up until the 17th March before it opens up for all.

Also you can only get Team or City pack tickets not individual ones.

The website is rubbish! I have been in the queue and when it gets to me I click to enter and it times out!!!

Scotland always find greater motivation when playing England... they need to find that same level for all games.

Those 2 decisions were so significant it can certainly be argued that they changed the result of that game... if France beat Wales then we might be left wondering if Gauzere has decided the outcome of the Championship.
