I did want to post something a minute after the game but I don’t know how to start a new topic !?
Hmm, unsure which game some of you were watching (John) but if you read Stephen Jones in the Sunday Times you would think he was somewhat biased ……..actually I rarely agree or like what he writes.
We certainly did not play well for 80 minutes but our kicking game for most of the game was far better than that of France.
I am a big fan or Marcus Smith but do think he has not worked to well in the ‘backs’ and whilst he was goodish yesterday on occasions his epitaph was written by Stephen Jones ! He will stay at 15 I think. Cowan-Dickie and the jumpers were poor and thank god George came on and hit the jumpers each time resulting in the last gasp try.
I think the result casts its spell on the whole game - the last 15 minutes of the game were wonderful,
Thankfully Dupont wasn’t epic, only goodish although SJones seems to think he was great..
Enjoy todays game. MM
PS still think my previous forecast of standings at the end will be close, especially after this England win .
