if the Ref and TMO are going to cheat you like that then you make as well forfeit the game and save yourself from the injuries

Though not having a ball carrying 8 is entirely our own fault

Owen Farrell doesn't striker me as a rally the troops type of captain either

Sean Edwards earning his pay cheque here and no mistake. Ghastly by England so far.

Backs in the maul, why?! They don't know what they're doing and it just leaves you short on the outside.

Ridiculously sloppy from England. I don't think the game plan or the referee are a problem, the players are simply having a really bad day.

Getting in a lot of great positions then making an error and France have been very good in capitalising every time.

Owens is having a good game, if the second try is incorrect that’s on the TMO.

One of our best players in Curry looks lost in attack with 8 on his back. Sheer arrogance in selection which now looks stupid.

Furbank have a shocker so far the back. People slated Daly but he’s not better.

One side seems capable of invention one side seems capable of nothing so far. Still there is another half. Perhaps we can't be so bad for the whole match.

he's in charge he clearly wasn't sure if the French 7 touched it or not so should have insisted on magnification and freeze framing and got the decision right

You have to wonder what effect the Sarries cheating has had, this doesn't look like a team that trusts each other.

Well, it didn't take long for that particular drum to be rolled out and banged again.

England (as a whole) have been awful, YBY far from the worst.
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
