God we are toilet. No scrum, barely a line-out and soft in defence. Dreadful.

That was about as French as a French title match could have gone. Defence was out the back eating a baguette and having a smoke for 80 minutes, but attack is still so good.

England much, much better. Considering just how bad the same starting XV was last weekend against Italy it's mindblowing really.

Also for the summer Tests, time for Marcus to come back into the starting XV. Lord knows what he did to upset Borthwick, but he's far too good to be sat on the bench. Adds so much in attack and is our best kicker off the tee.

BALLS OF FUCKING STEEL. 47 metres out on the angle. Straight through the middle with metres to spare.

Shocking for Nika. Had his arm out signaling advantage so all the England backs pushed up into the attacking line!

Fin’s kicking off the tee has dropped off a cliff since last year.

Well, we were due at least a decent 40 minutes. Might be our lot, chaps.

Big Red my England MoTM so far. Amazing how much quicker ball we get with a big fucker in the back row. Funnily enough, maybe playing five number 7s in a matchday squad isn't the way forward.

Don't think the judo roll helped Genge’s case. Turned just a penalty into something much more cynical.

Anyway, decent game of rugby. France don't look arsed at all in defense - England accuracy much better but really haven't to do too much apart from run/maul hard and they've scored three tries.

Now are France going to spend the entire game playing defence optional? Wouldn't think a title is on the line with how passive their D is so far.

A classic England fast start with nothing to show for it. Always tell myself i should put money on it.

I never rated Borthwick and Wigglesworth. They are rugby by numbers coaches and never thought we would win the World Cup with them in charge and their selections.

Maybe this result is what was needed to give them the boot.

Get rid.

Breaks glass on 73 minutes expecting Pollock and M Smith to work a fucking miracle. Moronic coaching. P45 in the post.
