England v France - Page 2

Unfortunately the really big crunch games between the real top 5 teams nearly always come down to a hard fought slugging match and flare goes out the window.

For flare and flowing rugby you need the other team to make mistakes/miss tackles, etc. The top teams are so good and close that just doesn't happen often enough. So, it's down to pure strength and fitness.

Doesn't make for exciting games but I still really enjoyed the match on Saturday. A real rugby heavyweight contest and a great win.

Beating teams like this is what England needs going into a World Cup.
