Classic test match well done ladies,well done womens rugby.The Red Roses were clearly well off their best,France threw everything at them and were the better team for most of the match,but Englands ability to absorb pressure,resist panic,and have ironclad faith in themselves under duress got this match for them.France will be disapointed in those early lineout failures,which were all in great field position,but their contribution to a wonderful contest cant be overlooked.I hope Maddies leg is ok,my favourite player.
Joli math, malheureusement les anglaises sont à quelques crans en dessus de notre équipe de France, trop de ballon perdu pour nos bleues. En tout cas, je félicite toutes les équipes pour ce beau tournois 2026, le rugby féminin est vraiment très beau à regarder, bravo Mesdames.
Look out for the stunning French U18s & U20s...that are rising...thrashing all in their path..Saying that, Zoe H is currently in a class, not seen before at Women's 10.
This England team is extraordinary. I know of no other team where you get dropped for winning. The ethos is incredible. I imagine the tea lady is the best tea lady in the world. This whole team is staffed by winners. World class talent on the pitch. World class talent off the pitch. Difficult to see this group ever losing agin. Incredible!
I realise the commentators are going to miss stuff, but it's frustrating, all the same. Lucie Packer's tackle at about 66 minutes on a French forward twice her size setting the stage for England turnover ball was tremendous. No mention of it.
Many thanks for showing this game without commercials !!! Even if England deserved to win, the ref was pretty unsure and missed quite a few things on both sides…
I cannot believe that France took PBS off--absolute madness! Even with a 6-2 split on the bench. They could have changed fly halves, or moved PBS to fly half, but taking her off was crazy!
