France or England?

The Big One tomorrow, boyo's!

Think France will edge it, but if England get back into shape, their forwards are very good.

Frances back's against Englands forwards? HMMM, I like both, but which is better?

There's only one way to find out...

FIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTT !!!

England. France have been very good, but have shown a lot of holes too.

If Care can get his pass away without taking 5 minutes to think about it 1st we might be able to make some ground. If I see Care standing there marshalling the forwards who take the ball standing still then get punched back 5 yards and turn the ball over one more time I will scream and boot the telly.

If we can survive the 1st half blitz that is coming our way then we might have a chance.

However I think we are gonna get pounded the England team is fat, wheezy, slower than cold treacle and sadly lacking in ball retention skills. Plus they seem to have forgotten a lot of the basic skills I havent seen an England player put in a decent kick for touch all this campaign.

Easy fella, its just a commercial!

You're right on some points but England had the BEST Backs at one time...Guscott, the two brothers whos names escape me, ( NOT THE 2 NEW BROTHERS) Johnny of course too.

Without a doubt, on paper England have the best team, on paper Wales have the most exciting team.
Ireland should be better overall, but struggled a bit - except against Wales of course!!

FRANCE: God, France is full of Frenchmen, so enuff said!

Italy. Good against England, at the end against France but the whipping boys for a few years yet.

Better performance. But...

agreed.

Mind you, the blind fecktard ref didn't exactly help!

Some of that early play from England was just lovely, the ball handling and movement was superb. France were letting them do it mind, but it was great to see. Shame it didn't keep up that standard.

I didn't like the referee, but I loved his Labrador...

Highlight of the entire match for me was that French woman shouting at Martin Johnson

Stupid comment of the day went to Dallaglio, speaking about the French before the game:

"But trying to win the grand slam in the last game adds a lot of pressure...."

When else are they going to win it you fecktard?

Agreed on ref, he needed to borrow my glasses.....

It's fairly obvious what he meant though. It's like that famous Motty comment - "For those of you watching in black and white, Spurs are playing in yellow" - you can take it literally and it sounds stupid, or you can think about what he means and realise it's not.
