Sat 25th Nov: Wheelchair International: France v England 1:50pm (YouTube/OurLeague App)

[daz39]

England penalty goal, 10-20

[daz39]

France in again after an error from the kick off, kick missed, 14-20

[daz39]

Another penalty goal, French players getting rattled, 14-22

[Hopie]

Some big tackles going in, getting pretty feisty out there.

Some good passing and movement for the latest England try though!

[daz39]

Great play by Jack Brown sends Nathan Collins in in the corner, Collins converts and England have a 28-14 lead, 17 to go.

Rather nasty wheel grab leads to a few running in and a French Sin bin. You could see that sort of thing coming,

The resultant try and man advantage should hopefully mean England are safe from here...

[daz39]

Sin bin for France as Hawkins has his wheel deliberately grabbed and tipped over with a clear run to the line, should he have gone for that?

England capitalise though as Brown dots down, kick is good, 14-34 

[Futtocks]

French indiscipline -> yellow card and much shrugging -> try for Brown.

14:34

[Futtocks]

Bourson strikes back immediately for France!

[daz39]

France hit back again, kick is missed, 18-34 

[daz39]

This is gonna explode here, tempers are getting frayed, they don't like it up em!!

Every time I see this guy he just seems unplayable, massive talent

Yeah, he's a monster with great moves.

[Hopie]

76:51 on the clock, and that's full time! 

Fantastic result for England

[daz39]

All over, England win 32-18, once again a cracking battle between these 2 rivals.

[Futtocks]

So that's one win apiece in 2023 for these teams.

It's be nice to have a decider, wouldn't it?

[DoubleD]

The RFL sure know how to specialise in budget internationals. No commentary and the clock 4 minutes different than the refs. Very enjoyable and feisty game nonetheless. Hopefully standards off the field can improve for future. A 3 match series would be good

Think we won on aggregate.

But 3 match series next year, yes please!

Wouldn't it just, wonder if it's too late to arrange one

How cruel!

I'd say Nathan Collins was my MOM today. Kicked well under pressure (the French were clearly missing their best kicker) and felt like he was running the game for long spells.

Wonderful player but also stroppy and prone to be put off his game by some wily winding up.

[moorside roughyed]

First time I've been on here all weekend. Well done England,beat the garlic chomping chump's

Why the RFL had the video unlisted, so impossible to find, is beyond me? We want to grow the sport, don't we?

Imagine it was a requirement of the broadcast of somebody else's coverage, admittedly I had hoped for a broadcast on FTA TV, not free on an app.
