RWC QF2: England v France (W Pool B v RU Pool A)

[AngrySeahorse]

France are in f**k yes!!!!

Note: I've got to say I have to eat my words when I said Sheridan being gone wouldn't have too much effect on the Pommy scrum, they've missed him IMO. Sorry for underestimating you Mr Sheridan.

Tryt France, Im calling it now, Eng look gone already

France. Whaka yeah!

I'm not calling it just yet. If there is one team that knows how to drag its sorry arsehole over the line even when they looked totally crap & undeserved of victory its the poms.

Update: France in again WTF!!? LOL this is awesome can they keep it up? Can England hang in there & claw their way back? I still think they can.

Score as of 31:44, 16-0 FRA

holy crap

 

[minorbird]

Yeah, I'm gonna call it now. England don't have the firepower to score tries, and they don't have the back-line defence to hold France on the fringes.

 

[grievous]

Eng have finally been found out on the pitch, no slipstream to the final this time

Dear Lièvremont's mustache,

Sorry for doubting you.

BRIX en bleu

Dusetoir is my new favourite player.

Bondi Kiwi is hating on the poms at the breakdown. But I think it's deserved. The Rosbifs went into the game with the idea of slowing down the French ball with just 3 or 4 at the ruck, and for the rest to fan out. It worked until Steve decided to ping 'em every time.

Don't see England having the scoring power from here.

Viva la froggies......more of the same please. It has been quite while since I have enjoyed three halves of footy so much. I don't think England are done but would love to see the frogs run away with it.

 

[mark_s]

While I am behind the frogs here, its good to see the poms throwing it around a bit

 

[mark_s]

I hope the wobbs are wacthing this game.

 

[BRIX]

Harinordoquy & Rougerie are playing like days of old. The selection of Parra at 10 is inconsequential - weight is being distributed equally.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Poms are in, no god no!

 

[No4918]

Poms in.

Good early use of the bench by Johnson when it was obvious guys werent doing the job. Lets hope Deans is watching as well.

 

[mark_s]

french discipline starting to deteriorate and the poms are in. I hope the missed kicks from the 1st half don't come back to haunt france.

 

[BRIX]

Trinh-Duc my favorite Vietnamese Frenchman playing some smart football. Picomoles needs to go on for Pascal Pape you would think. Walshy letting England in the game.

 

[BRIX]

Clear hands in the ruck from Moody the cock lather. 15 out too.

 

[mark_s]

that should do it. 12 ahead with 7 to go
