Jack van Poortvliet: England 'have a lot to fix' but Paris is the 'blueprint'

England were clearly the stronger team in Paris. They must take massive encouragement from that. There are easily eliminated errors that will help but that performance is a basis.

Entirely free eric, as anyone else is to respond!

Never a grand slam decider for me eric, other than the possibility from the outset that France might manage it. They couldn’t, even as the best team in the comp.

Caelan Doris: The 'definitely pleasing' aspect of Ireland's imperfect Six Nations

The development of squad depth is also important. For July, Ireland can start a strong team against Australia, while having most of a squad in Japan. Leave the majority in Aussie to prepare for NZ in Eden Park two weeks later, and have a handful fly down after Japan to bolster the squad before NZ.

Its not ideal but the travel means splitting the squad to remain competitive. Good prep for Australia 2027 also.

Steve Borthwick hammers home glaring England shortcoming

Personally, i would prefer they gave it to John Mitchell - he’s proven himself to be a winner and capable of getting his team to deliver in big tournament scearios.

He would actually be my 1st choice, with Cheika second.

Steve Borthwick hammers home glaring England shortcoming

The attack stats in the table are fairly close, the real difference was defence, where FRA put in an extra 20 odd tackles in defence, with slightly higher tackle completion, so they out worked us in defence, which was probably the key difference between the sides.

ENG really struggled to get over the line from 5m out, whereas that improved once the subs came on and CC-S added a lot more momentum.

The usual boks suspects have been quiet on the Irish pages, presumably as they didn't expect 4 wins from 5

Fickle bunch

England player ratings vs France | 2026 Guinness Men's Six Nations

So with Genge/George/Heyes, ENG had a dominant scrum and when Rodd/LCD/Davison came on, we lost that dominance.

I know Baxter & Stuart have been a big loss but why didn’t we give game time to the likes of Fasogbon, who is a much better scrummager at this level and the same size unit as Stuart.

World Rugby statement: 'Orchestrated' Georgia doping scheme uncovered

recreational drugs are banned even when they don’t impact performance

having read the article now a third time, I’m now less clear on what has happened than I was the first two times 😂 its a very confusing statement. But I think its far more likely that recreational drugs were what they were trying to mask, rather than a technique for masking something else.

In good shape with plenty to still strive for

Still don't really understand how a vastly improved Italy and Wales are given due respect but Ireland get lambasted for not putting 40 PTS on them?
