Good stuff. Having just seen the the team for the match on Saturday, I feel *slightly* happier. Still.......Balshaw.....

Today has really surprised me. Teams I was expecting to shut up shop came out a tried to play in a fairly open way.

Finished re-installing my PC, just in time for the big match.

allez les bleus!!

Ok, I've been very happy with this. The last try should have been Vainikolo's though, he can easily get through 2 defenders. I'm going to say it again though, Balshaw...

Good victory though. Great match.

Sorry to quote myself chaps, but Wiggleworth done good

I also said Ellisade would put him to shame, I didn't realise he wasn't on the team sheet and even when the experienced Yachvili came on, the young Wasps man held his nerve well.

A great win for England, finally they have taken stock of their performances and made changes. Hopefully Haskell's injury is not serious.

If you remain gracious in defeat Will I won't dig out the sig I made after the World cup semi

Lipman was robbed of MoM. Tireless 80 minutes of hard graft that went largely unnoticed.

Wigglesworth (who is a Shark not a Wasp) was slow to a few rucks and his service became a bit ropey when under pressure. I'd pick him again for next week but I'm convinced Hodgson is a genuine future England scrum half whereas Wigglesworth is filling the shirt until others are fit again.

Balshaw must surely have used up his last life now.

I don't even know where to start today...
