Anyone still think our centres can defend? France have tagetted both sides early with success.

Limping into the semis isn't a great way to prepare for the world champions. Mcclorum bouncing off too many tackles. Hill needs to think about his offloads, having great tournament but doesn't look when offloading.

Good try looked slightly forward though.

Tomkins has started very well...

The French seem to be going up the field quite too quickly for my liking

It's terrifying just how easily France are making ground at this early stage.

Good try there by England. But McIlorum's speed of passing is really quite slow

Yeah bring Roby on.

Floodgates are beginning to open

Excellent from Watkins.

Hard to see how good England's attack is with Frances amateur Wing play. All we have to do is pass it down line.

And please someone take the whistle of Klein, fed up of hearing it every 2 mins! Like watching a union game.

Cardace is not good enough at this level. Stacul would have been a much better choice.
