They might be welcome tonight if France turn up.

I'm far from being a rugby expert, but leaving Penaud out tonight, seems a surprise from France.

He’s been out of form in the French league

As long as it's only when there is a lull in play then it's a bit annoying but acceptable

He’s been out of form in the French league

and Bielle-Biarrey is the best winger in the world so the decision is only to decide who plays on the other side.

Very impressive from France, some fine performances, personally I would have gone Ramos as motm but plenty to choose from.  They’ll take some stopping in 6N

Helped by Ireland being on a very clear decline right now. This year should come down to an England Vs France playoff in Paris on the last weekend. That said England are always at risk of a humbling by Wales in Scotland who are always a level above their normal performances against us because 'getting one over the English Bastards' is a great motivator.

France looked good.

France looked good.

Yes, very good.
However, they did show they were vulnerable when Ireland decided to actually play a bit.
It should be between England and France, but as Paul says, it’s guaranteed Wales and Scotland will turn into prime All Blacks for their respective game with us.

If the ref had had the bottle to bin DuPont, Ireland might have gotten close.

However, France were a way better team.

Yeah, well-deserved winners. Is there a better sight in rugby than a French team in full flow?

I'd settle now for 2nd and a Triple Crown.

History suggests it will be France, as they and Ireland have the last 7 post-Lions championships. England haven't won the championship after a Lions tour since 1963.

Agree, especially as they play us in Paris

Ermm... might stick to the curling.
