this is shaping up to be the most damaging game for French RL and the international scene, perhaps ever!

Myler might get 40 odd points on his own.

Bobby Goulding?
FFS

whats score.

France 0 England 32 after 29 mins

30 mins gone and it's 32 nil to England
France havnt been anywhere near at all

The french are starting to boo too. It's turning into a bit of a disaster.

Cheers guys.

Have you got French neigbours? Can't hear any booing myself only the odd whistle when England have going forward.
I'll go against the grain and focus on some of the great attacking rugby being played by England.

44-0 now

England have just bombed a certain try which would have made it 50-0 before half time

French are more understrength than England.
What are we supposed to do? Stop international rugby league until countries like France are competetive?
And how exactly are they going to become competetive unless they get international rugby?
I take my hat off to rugby union. They persevered with Italy and Argentina despite them getting regular pastings. Look at them now, especially Argentina.

England aren't under strength at all (except for Ellis).
This is the first choice form team.

Who's suggesting we don't persevere?

At least two threads devoted to the topic.

But not on this one?

Not as far as I'm aware.
TRY FRANCE!!

I'm going to turn off in a second if the picture doesn't sort itself out

France in for a try and a goal

Sort the forcking picture out SKY!

Thunder storm according to Eddie.

Thunder storm on it's way apparently!

Match abondoned and declare the result as a draw.

LOL

Buggar that! I want 80!

Score now anyone? I miss SKY sometimes

66-6

Facile, facile, facile...

Briscoe is pants. The one position up for grabs in that lineup tonight.

66-12 and some great rugby by England. France were awful in the first half, but at least they showed brief glimpses of what they can do in the second half.
Some bookies were offering England -88 at odds on at half time. Cocky gets.

All too easy, but there certainly wasn't any booing from the French crowd - they got behind their team right through the 80 minutes and, considering there must have been plenty of 'new' fans at the game, their enthusiasm was admirable.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it mate.
Heard there were over 7,000 on aswell. So was it a good idea to have it in Paris?

Most certainly, though there were thousands of free ticket vouchers placed on car windscreens in the vicinity of the ground. Strangely, there were a lot of French-based students from the US while plenty of locals who were drawn to the game. The seats behind the sticks (to the right of the cameras) was actually closed with 5 minutes before kick off - concerning as that's where our tickets were for - but they ended up opening 5 blocks of the stand in all, with the crowds still pouring in with 20 minutes of the game gone!

Certainly a worthwhile exercise, though they'd be daft to play any Four Nations games there - common sense would be to play one at Perpignan and the other at Toulouse and get a patriotic crowd behind them.
