jayjayoghani Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 randomly read this article just now, very entertaining https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2014/jan/29/forgotten-story-england-france-five-nations-1992 After the break they stretched their lead and by the hour mark, tempers were beyond frayed. An Olivier Roumat punch briefly knocked Dooley unconscious. On coming round, the lock turned to the referee, Stephen Hilditch, and summed up the wild west vigilante nature of the match: "Ref … do not send that fucker off."

Tough as teak forwards, backs with flair, there's a lot to admire about French rugby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct of course but they are so unpredictable. Often can lift you out of your seat with breathtaking attacking play. Other times they can be abysmal. C'est la guerre.

jayjayoghani Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 No complaints here. They seemed just a bit more incisive when putting us under pressure. Plus fewer mistakes. Beauden Barrett is class, wish we had him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jturner Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 With England providing over half the team we should have known that if England weren't good enough to win in Ireland, the Lions wouldn't be good enough to win in New Zealand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
