England beat France
never in doubt :agree:
Great win for Engerland but no great shakes. France off day today. Opens the Championship up nicely. Now over to Scotland.
Ridiculous amount of handling errors from France.
What a match at Twickenham. Lots of dropped balls in the first half but full-on rugby after the break. Fantastic.
We won’t mention your Wales prediction.Quote:

A very big if, mind you!
U20's
Scotland 15 Ireland 33, Ireland took just 21 mins to secure a BP
Italy 18 Wales 20
England 27 France 10
took their time then advantage after advantage then finally a Try Ireland after 7 mins 0-7
scotland quite rightly continuing to argue with the referee after that restart, htf is a scotland player supposed to put in a challenge when the irish player is blocking them
van der merwe sin bin after 13 minutes
great defence stops another irish try, for now
Scotland players getting a tad miffed with Nigel Owens
This is going to be a painful afternoon for Scotland by the looks of things.
Townsend as head coach has lost every game against Ireland, yes they're world no.1 but jeez we make it bloody easy for them.
Don’t understand the DVM yellow card ball was in touch before the nudge
twice scotland have managed to hold it up
we're a tad under the cosh here
I will say, this ref is giving us nothing.
What's "in touch"? The balls in the try scoring area at the nudge is it not? If anything that feels it should be more serious...Quote:

This is a bit ****.

Can't be bothered going back to check but, I think that is very unlikely to be the case, apologies if I'm wrong.Quote:

tough kick though tbf
anyways HT 5-17
Hate to sound a bit football-ish here but the ref isn’t doing us any favours. Every 50/50 is going against us.
Don’t get me wrong we are absolutely *ish.
Can’t be any worse in the second half.
Get the first try and game on
Bit of a sclaff right enough.Quote:
