For the media it should be played in Paris. To get the crowds in you would want to play it when no other french teams were playing and not in a SL round. So crowds were never going to be good anyway...

On va se faire nicke, we've got some decent players, but we're no match for England.

It will be sad for France to be playing England without Ferriol, Elima, Pelo and Fakir. Bien sur, impossible for France to win.

Why no Julien Rinaldi?

I hope we have a good performance of passion, and a good crowd to see it.

Who knows? To be fair, Kane's been in the form of his life just lately, though Rinaldi's experience wouldn't go amiss, especially without some of the more experienced members of the squad.

He has been allowed to play for Bradford to try and earn a longer contract, apparently, after Anselme couldn't get back in the Leeds team last year having missed a game for the test.

Game over almost before it started with those two early scores.

The -32 handicap was a gift.
At least England are playing some good open rugby. France haven't turned up.

Best French performance so far was the gendarmerie band.
