Sloppy handling, poor tackling and no discipline in the forwards. You can give the jocks and Argies those chances but it will not win a world cup. England tend to turn the screws second half but 16 points is probably too much.
Tuilagi is great though.

They were OK in the first 5 mins and I permitted myself to breathe....even before the first French try I was comfortable...
But...sloppy handling has been an offence not just discipline.
They take the ball up a few times - then fail to get the ball out to the rest of the 3/4 and use it...

Dunno if they 'turn the screws' of whether that's just fitness. Bugger - Mr TE is a French-Scot and is paying for dinner if he doesn't stop his taunts.

England were better in the second half but first 40 was just silly... Never mind try again in 4 yrs time!

Anticipating France play rugby is like opening one of their champagne bottles - you never quite know whats going to happen until you 'pop the cork'!
Well done France - can they do it again in the 'semis'?
