Intensely frustrating that two of France's tries came from our line-outs!!
The two prop positions do worry me.Cole and Marler, as good as they have been, should be no where near starting.Genie is hot and cold, Sinkler has disappeared and, whereas, Will Stewart is decent enough but, for me, just misses something. To be fair I might be way off, I didn’t dabble in the dark arts when I was playing.Hooker we’re fine. George is still excellent while Dann is more than capable.

Personally I'd have liked to see more of Obano and something of Heyes in this 6N because they're the obvious choices to replace the retirees. I think we'll see Baxter (from Quins) soon as well and then there's a couple of U20 lads who might end up around the squad in the next 18months.
England currently giving Ireland a bit of a shoeing in the Women's 6 Nations. 33-3 and not half an hour played. Kildunne, the England fullback, is giving the girls in green a lot to think about.
