Facile, facile, facile...

Briscoe is pants. The one position up for grabs in that lineup tonight.

66-12 and some great rugby by England. France were awful in the first half, but at least they showed brief glimpses of what they can do in the second half.
Some bookies were offering England -88 at odds on at half time. Cocky gets.

All too easy, but there certainly wasn't any booing from the French crowd - they got behind their team right through the 80 minutes and, considering there must have been plenty of 'new' fans at the game, their enthusiasm was admirable.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it mate.
Heard there were over 7,000 on aswell. So was it a good idea to have it in Paris?

Most certainly, though there were thousands of free ticket vouchers placed on car windscreens in the vicinity of the ground. Strangely, there were a lot of French-based students from the US while plenty of locals who were drawn to the game. The seats behind the sticks (to the right of the cameras) was actually closed with 5 minutes before kick off - concerning as that's where our tickets were for - but they ended up opening 5 blocks of the stand in all, with the crowds still pouring in with 20 minutes of the game gone!

Certainly a worthwhile exercise, though they'd be daft to play any Four Nations games there - common sense would be to play one at Perpignan and the other at Toulouse and get a patriotic crowd behind them.
