Early handling errors when well placed then giving up a try.

The last thing we need to be doing is letting the French get their tails up but if we're inaccurate the outcome for England isn't going to be good this afternoon.

[Cormack74]

Well no one knew which French team would turn up but it wouldn't seem to matter at the moment as England appear to be suffering from a post WC / post Sarries fiasco, malaise of epic proportions.

[Cormack74]

As feared Furbank looking very much out of his depth so far. Hopefully mad dog Thorley will be on for him in the second half.

Not sure it will affect the result mind

[Cormack74]

And another dropped ball to finish the half.

[Cormack74]

Well that reminded me of the amateur era when the lads had too good a time of it in the Paris night spots the previous evening.

[Irishnev]

France threw away a similar lead vs Wales last year.....far from over this game

[Cormack74]

Haha Nev don't try and double bluff the way the game's going in the hope of a France win.

But at least we've played with a touch more intensity for the past 5 mins and Johnny M is looking sharp.

If Kruis had got that down I think another score would have followed. France out on their feet and making bad decisions

[Cormack74]

A losing bonus point.

At half time I would have been glad not to have lost by 30.

You're right another few minutes would have been interesting but after making so many errors and lacking in any sort of intensity for so long I think the Froggies deserved to win far more than we did to be honest.

[Buzzo]

2 Superb try’s from Johnny May.

[Zapater]

Just saw the highlights, DuPont on the last France try was out of this world. Have to think that him and Ntamack will be the best half back combination in the world for the better part of the next decade if they continue to develop.

I just bumped into Stuart Hogg at Murrayfield..!

He must have been impressed the way you held on to the camera while taking it

He most certainly was. There was another woman who got a pic of her son, but gave it a massive schpiel about how it would mean everything as his Gran has terminal cancer - which seemed quite full on.

I just shook his hand (the one that dropped the ball on Saturday) wished him luck and got the pic.

He had to pay £80 for Scotland kit for his kids.

Seems a bit tight.

Yeah ****ing hell, that's a bit intense. What's he supposed to do or say to that? He probably has a few moments like that every day ffs it would drive me nuts.
