Billy vunipola brilliant

England's to lose now.

For what it's worth, I really like Moore and Butler as a commentary team; both really know their stuff and the England Wales banter is always a good laugh.

Intelligent by Danny Care. Didn't want to risk losing advantage again!

France lack fitness to me

I'm sure they're as fit as England; it's just that England have run them ragged since about the 25th minute.

That's what's great about rugby: it wasn't a head butt but a bit of a lunge and gesticulation that didn't result in any harm to anyone. That'd have been a straight red for at least one player in football.

How did we lose this match?

Poor start, had we played like we have now we would be 15 points clear.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Best players went off on the hour mark, Vunipola, Hartley, Care, Burrell, we lost control and execution.
