You play the opponent and situation in front of you. It wasn't this game that we dropped the points we needed either. That was against Italy and Scotland. we didn't do that right either!! should have all been played at the same time. then you'd have seen negative england yet again @sxp55555

It got the French to throw it about as well. If we'd been negative, so would they I reckon. Optimistic as ever

With a bit of perspective England finished second on points difference of less than a converted try. A twenty point margin against France is a decent score. England were ok in all their matches except against Ireland. In fact, I believe the two best performances of the Six Nations came from England - in Wales and at home to France. Italy and Scotland are not at the races but it looks like there is little to choose between England, Wales and Ireland. England were missing so many players in this tournament that meant this six nations could easily have gone badly and it didn't. It went well and England clearly have the luxury of having two squads of decent players. Not many are absolutely outstanding - except perhaps Mike Brown - but there is a good team there that may surprise some. Red and Blue Army!
