Just me who thought that was a knock on? If the Aussies won the WC final with a try like that, we wouldn't be happy!

It's like the players begin to think they are better than they are whilst Australia just stick to their processes. 

We try to score every set in games like this rather than completing sets and building pressure.

Exactly. It's down to the ref sending it up as a try. 

[londonrlfan]

Is it so hard for the French to keep the ball? 

[Man of Kent]

Want to see three more tries from England. 80 minute performance not petering out

I didn't have any doubts about that being a try I'm not sure why the VR took so long. As you can ground the ball with your torso and it stayed on his chest all the way down.

Bateman passes!

[Old Frightful]

Classy centre play from Bateman there...

[Man of Kent]

Ratchford at wing is one of the more bizarro selections

Then doesn't from the ensuing PTB.  

[chuffer]

twinkle toes from the French full back

[GeordieSaint]

Much better from Brown with that kick... shame about thr chase.

[Farmduck]

That was a bad sign - letting Kheirallah return the ball 40m

[GeordieSaint]

Good by Gale but supported by the chase.

And this one is given. Alrighty then

Yeah because it was a try,dear me.

[londonrlfan]

France played well in the second half, but still made about 10 knock ons. 

[Man of Kent]

Tom Burgess back to his feet for hands best 

[Futtocks]

Margalet off hurt.  

[Man of Kent]

England have been poor in this half.

[Old Frightful]

Nobby clueless when it comes to fictional detectives.

[Farmduck]

England leading the Errors 12-10

[londonrlfan]

Albert's kicking has been on another level to Fages' 

[Wirral Warrior]

Stabilised more with O Loughlin back on

[Forestgravy]

We’re not good enough to win this tournament
