You know when a manager includes player such as "Curls" Cole in the squad he is digging in the bottom of the barrel.
Smith at #10 is one scared fly-half much like Elton.
England completely outplayed by a good French side and an excellent #9.
Viva la France.
Willemse also did himself proud with a good performance.

Ireland and France deserve to be the best at the Moment….Both these teams play a Complete style of Rugby where all most all aspects of their game is in Cohesion….the only 2 teams that might be able to Beat them, is the Boks and AB….England are a bit lost @ the moment…but understandable because of a new coach with new ways and structures…but I think they will be back….is Matt Proudfoot still there scrum coach? As that part of there Game has gone backwards badly.

According to Rugby World, Matt Proudfoot is back in SA with the Maties….did not know that….wonder if Tassie will pull Matt back into Springbok Coaching Role? If not, he would be Stupid….just as stupid as not bringing Wilco Louw back !! No wonder the Poms can’t scrum properly anymore.

The game was a disgraceful demolition.
Far from thinking that the outcome could have been fully changed through the selection of the bench fly half as a starter.
Yet the game could have been less humiliating if the guy was started.
The loss is brutal as it happens in weather conditions that do not benefit running the ball and such, could be used to slow down the pace and freeze the score.
