Ireland might want a say on that. I don't think a defeat is the end of it here.

Have the French got a giant SEAGULL on the front of their shirt? Is Mr Bloom expanding his influence..... despite BREXIT.
Don't rule out the Irish. I've got a big bet on them to win the Six Nations. It was a gutsy win against the Scots, who can now beat anyone on their day. Scotland v England next weekend at Murrayfield could provide another surprise.
Ireland's fixtures are good this year. Wales at home next Saturday is HUGE for them and they'll need to play a lot better.

On today's performance, I can see Scotland beating us and we will finish just above Italy. Clueless first half and no flair apart from May.Jones must go.

After the performance against South Africa you'd expect them to come out all guns blazing. After the initial England possession for first 5 minutes it was all France and they deservedly went in 17-0 up.
Came back well in second half but it was too much to ask to overturn that lead.

Jones must go ? That's a joke right ? Our last match was a World Cup Final.

Nothing like NSC for a bit of knee-jerk reaction, eh?
England were outstanding in the World Cup apart from the final. Today was just a bad start of the next 4 year cycle.

Which we lost as we had no plan B.
He has now stated that he aims to make England the best team in the world.
Yesterday was like a step back in time,where we huff and puff inside the other teams 22 until we either knock on or concede a penalty. 7 times within 5 metres of their line an nil points!

The lack of variation in that spell was so frustrating. Not once did they try anything apart from brute force to get over the line.I was screaming (not for a policeman) for someone to take a grip and show some imagination and flair
I am having doubts about Farrell as Captain too. Seems to be a bit of a flat track bully who wilts when things are going against England. We need someone who can motivate the team and lead, he just seems to chip in with his own errors when we are on the back foot. I may be being harsh here, but it’s how I see it. I am a rugby enthusiast not a coach or ex high level player, I could be wrong.

Thought this was about the French wanting to fish in our waters.

Poor decision-making and worse execution. Without our Polynesian contingent we look rather bereft. Youngs looks past his sell-by, Ford's kicking game was patchy and the skipper offers no creativity at 12. The forwards bossed the scrums but lacked dynamism in the loose. A (very) bad day at the office.

England had a bad first half. That's it really. Won the second half. The French played a good attritionsl game. Can't win 'em all.
Lost the WCF, but then we weren't supposed to be there anyway. Got there after one of our best ever performances against the All Blacks.
Jones is one of the best coaches on the planet. Got it wrong yesterday. But the Sarries players don't seem at their best. So be it.
