Well I knew England would win comfortably but this just ridiculous. Even though its only a warm up and France have the European cup to focus on you would think they would actually try.

To be fair France rested a few, but an 80 point loss is shocking.

It baffles me why we continue to play this game in England. England as it stands are going to comfortably beat France no matter where the game is played, but commit to taking this fixture to France for five years. It shows support for the game locally and the home advantage could well produce a more competitive outcome. There's already an international game this Autumn in Wigan as well. Really don't see any positive to the setup today at all.

France are pathetic and so is Jean Capdouze.
Only a complete knucklehead would even pose the question.

Given the ' Rosbeef ' reference to us, its just referencing our culinary delights
Although today a team of snails would have performed better

England had two tries chalked off and missed 3 conversions so could have cracked the ton. I expected the French to show a little more pride in the shirt. No fight in them whatsoever, both literally and figuratively.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

A full-strength France side would give England a game. The team today might as well have been France A. They were missing Fages, Garcia, Gigot, Baitieri, Duport, Bosc, Pelissier, Casty, Elima, Mounis, Pala, Yaha and several other fringe players that would've probably featured ahead of those that played. I don't know why these players didn't play but you really have to ask questions of the coach and the national set-up as I'm sure they weren't all injured.
