SF2: France v England; Saturday, 3.30pm; BBC1

[TommiG88]

England need half time. Been awful

 

[Jimbo]

Very scrappy from England. Hopefully this will be the wake up call they need that winning is not a formality.

Indeed so but outside of the first 10 minutes of the Aus game their efforts haven’t generally needed to reach training standards, a stern test with things not going quite right will serve them well providing they come out of it the right side

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The standard from both teams has been atrocious, so many basic errors and butchering so many opportunities. Neither of these are winning the tournament if they continue like this.

 

[Reiser99]

Not sure that turnover was legal anyway. Pretty sure the French player had hands on the ground as she counter rucked.

 

[Saintjay]

England quite passive at the break down. Interesting hearing the comments about England not adapting to what's going on the pitch. Sounds like an Eddie team.

 

[Ddanno]

France winger was massively offside on that kick

 

[TRF_Olyy]

France look so much more put together on attack

 

[Which Tyler]

That was criminal!

 

[TommiG88]

Did the commentator just say that they won’t be able to kick the ball from there?

 

[Ddanno]

Marry me Hannah

 

[Jimbo]

How good is HB!

 

[Ddanno]

Get Packer and Aitchison on after HT. Hunt and Harrison are balls.

 

[Jimbo]

Where’s the roll, clearly tackler stopping the player getting there.

 

[Reiser99]

How good is HB!

Yeah, but why was she needed?

England throwing wild passes when they need to play for territory.

 

[TommiG88]

Get Packer and Aitchison on after HT. Hunt and Harrison are balls.

Hunt is having her worse game of the tournament

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah, but why was she needed?

England throwing wild passes when they need to play for territory.

I’d agree but she is just one of those players that will get you big moments most games you need a player or two like that.

 

[Saintjay]

England's Sexton loop slower than if a 62yo Sexton was running it.

 

[Ddanno]

England's Sexton loop slower than if a 62yo Sexton was running it.

Ahh that takes me back. All the way to 2023

 

[Reiser99]

England's Sexton loop slower than if a 62yo Sexton was running it.

Tbh I didn't it could get slower than Sexton in his prime.

 

[Which Tyler]

Calm heads, and France are up 3 tries to 1
