strange match, but i am quite sure if France had played Italy and Wales with that team, the results would have been quite different.That must put a question mark on Saint Andre's ability to select a team as well as his substitutions in yesterdays match.For me France dominated the match for 50 mins and if it wasnt for missing two kickable penalties whilst conceding sloppy ones themselves might have been up16-6 at that point.The subs were daft in the extreme, Michalak was his usual useless self and the new front row were nowhere as good as the one the replaced.
England showed that if a team wins whilst not playing that well then that is the mark of very good side.They were bested at scrum time for 50 mins had very little go forward momentum rarely breaking the gain line but they took theoir points when on offer and showed great resolve .Their subs also made a massive difference as the last 30 mins were all theirs
Next match -front row- Marley need to be replaced with Mako, Young in for Hartley
Back row- Lawes needs to be replaced with Wood at blind side hoping for Morgan to return at 8
Back three -Ashton has had too many chances and should be replaced with Strettle
I would probably give 36 another shot at inside centre and Flood in for Farrell who was not at his best,far too petulant IMO |
