Really disappointing for much of the 'second quarter'.

Wouldn’t say that but he does step back inside far too often.

2 massive blunders in possession - not great

[Tex Evans Thigh]

France did really well to come back into it there, I feared a blow out as England were flawless. Sangare is some player.

England took their foot off the gas at 18-0 and need to refocus.

Just remember the Real Fan's Mantra - if it's one-sided, both sides are rubbish and if it isn't, both sides are rubbish.

I'm furious that England have been pegged back but I'm also going to be angry with a one-sided scoreline.

We're not here to spoon-feed you.

You just registered to have a whine, so why should we bother helping?

Sensitive little soul aren't you. So sensitive and paranoid you think ive registered to whine.. er OK. It's a simple question that someone may know the answer to but obviously not you.  Enjoy the game and commentary.

Great half from the French, Sold out, atmosphere sounds electric, good times

They have played well. Struggling at centre.

However I am impressed that they didn't fold at 18-0.

 

[St Reatham]

I’m surprised England haven’t really moved the ball out to the right to Watkins and Young more.

Superb start. But Shawn Wane has got some work to do. 

Especially on discipline. We'll get killed against Aus and NZ if it doesn't improve dramatically.

 

[Bedford Roughyed]

I only started watching at the 30 min mark (busy doing a rocket launch), so seem to have missed the good bits!

killed? - slaughtered - hung drawn and quartered

I couldn't agree more.

[shrewsbury roughyed]

Can’t see Shaun Wane’s face but if it’s half as cross as the back of his head someone’s getting a rollicking 

[DavidM]

6 agains are a really important factor . Back to back sets get you going

Agree,  couldn't see Aus being 18-0 up and letting a side back to 18-12

Yeah, it looked very threatening last week, wonder why there not doing it more

[bratman]

Too sloppy from us, but France have done really well to get back into it. France look much better than Samoa!

Everyone wants a competitive French team but when we get one, everyone complains 

Yeah, I want them to be competitive but I don't want them to actually beat us...

I would have bought Oldham by now and made a shirt with an owls rear end on it.

Then killed.

Thought this was worth mentioning, 28 Tackles by Benjamin Garcia in the first half, wow. It’s a pity he didn’t tackle Radley though.

[Futtocks]

The BBC confirming that 'Women of Steel' is now available on the iPlayer, and that they are covering at least one PDRLWC game.

It would take a truly dedicated fun-sponge to squeeze some misery out of that... so I'm expecting it any minute.

[paulwalker71]

As an aside, I think France vs Samoa could be an interesting QF decider 

[Gambass]

So we are not going to lose this 72-4 then ?
