Allez les Bleues

[16bha]

Following a resounding victory for England at 1230 , then again for the Albion at 3pm, what better way to finish the sporting day than cheering on our French cousins to a narrow win to help us bring home the 6 Nations.

Presumably France will be trying to beat Ireland by 35 points and hope that Italy restrict England to a win of less than 6 points? I expect England to win by 20-odd points, so France would have beat Ireland by 50 points to win the Championship. That's not going to happen, so is this French team motivated enough to beat Ireland knowing their Championship is over? I feel this will go down to the wire but the O'Driscoll Factor might just edge it for Ireland.

I'll be cheering for Ireland so




No

Anything could happen, they're French, so who knows what their motivation will be.

Today I shall be mostly French.......our victory in Italy is a given, but the Irish haven't won in Paris for over forty years.......let's hope that continues.......... I am having a triple header session down the rugby club......I hope I will be able to stagger home ok after the French hand us the title.

This. The definition of feckless unreliability.

 

[Jbanged]

Love the French to win today, but can't see it happening. Hope I am wrong

 

[Albion_Dave]

Can't stand the arrogant French but will be cheering them on today for sure.

 

[Napper]

I would swap and England trouncing , an Irish master class all for a Sunderland win

Agreed. The O'Driscoll factor may well swing it for Ireland. Italy look pretty poor at the moment. If we hammer them...

I was in my local Paris boozer watching the France v England game. We completely dominated them in the second half and then came the sucker punch. The celebrations in the bar and marseillaise being played and widely sung at the end was gutting to watch. Still, England have reacted in the right way since then. France have flattered to deceive as usual. I wouldn't expect them to do us any favours later. We shall see.

Allez les garçons en vert..!

Part 1 of the plan complete. Now to the Reebok then Stade de France.

 

[Mackenzie]

No chance France will win this. Congratulations Ireland, and good luck Brian O'Driscoll.

 

[Pavilionaire]

I don't think England could have done much more than they did - a top performance.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

The romantic in me wants BOD to retire with another medal... But I love my England.

Great performance on the whole. I love our new fast moving and dynamic team. Does Mike Brown play Association Football? Sign him up!

 

[Triggaaar]

Vive la France! (or something)

 

[Del Fenner]

No thanks, B.O.D. to go out in style.

 

[vegster]

I'm actually feeling sorry for the sweaties, they are getting absolutely hammered.

 

[Hamilton]

Come on Scotland!

George North looks rampant. I fear a 50 point difference coming with ease.

My sentiments exactly.
