Thank you so much for sharing!

what a game, a fitting finale to the tournament

[@mymartianhome]

Good game at the end. I love the roses winning, but if only France could have produced the same standard in the first sixty minutes as they did in the last twenty, that would have been a match to savour!

[@xylophone-on3js]

That was a good game - for an England fan - but it would have been much, much closer if France hadn't made so many mistakes. France had so many good players who played really well - both Menagers, Escudero, tiny but tough Vernier, and the irrepressible Pauline Bourdon, but the whole team didn't match the same standard. Thanks for posting, although the video standard was not good: the resolution I got was 854x480@25fps, which meant that the players were just unidentifiable blobs when they weren't in a close-up shot. It's the kind of poor quality I've come to expect from KZbin though.

Unbelievable finish to an incredible season. Well done ladies, and well done Katy Mclean for her 100% record so far this year of being completely incapable of pronouncing anyone's surname that isn't English.

Maggie kept banging on about jeopardy. But if Wales had converted some of their opportunities, they would have given England a closer game.

Interestingly, having spent a lot of time fidgeting with the scrumcap over the previous round of this year 6 Nations, Sadia played without it against the French.

Was this the first match in this six nations campaign where we did not have a try from Dow, Kildunne or Breach?

[@robinholland1136]

Help me on this one, please. The disallowed Bourdon Sansus try. If we accept that she did touch it and then her team mate charged it down, wasn't she still offside as she was in front when she tried to gather the ball? I have to admit that I'm rather confused . . .

[@AndrewUnderwood-pl1ur]

If Bourdon Sansus touched it, she played it back (albeit unwittingly) to Annaëlle Deshayes , I think , who then would have knocked the ball on. If Bordon Sansus was in an offside position, it would not have mattered, as the try was the result of a knock-on and hence disallowed as well. If that is the case, the only difference would have been the sanction, being a scrum, not a penalty. (Not sure if this is correct but logically, it seems to explain things).

[@robinholland1136]

​@@AndrewUnderwood-pl1ur Thanks for that. That was my reasoning, too, but the commentators and the players seemed to be suggesting that had Bourdon Sansus touched it and it was then charged down, the try could have been awarded. I didn't see it that way. I might just pass the question on to Nigel Owens and see what he says. Because, as we all know, Nige is the 'man who knows'.

[@Olafjabberwocky]

Awesome !

[@johnpoile1451]

French as usual whistle when a kick is being taken at goal. Is this for everybody or just reserved for England?

[@KirstyLionheart]

They're like that all the time. I find it pretty classless.

[@danieldarcy7862]

No courtesy, no sportsmanship. Partisan to an extreme.

[@robw7676]

When their travelling Top14 club support come over to England they often make noise during their own kicks and stay quiet during the opposition kicks - they respect our ways but follow their own for their teams and on their soil. Seems fair to me.

[@kjosie100]

head and shoulder above all the other players.... AITCHISON PLAYER OF THE MATCH... 6 conversion 12 pts and marshalled the English team from back to front. All the stick she has taken from the media and those USELESS COMMUNTATORS, TO KICK AN 100% MATCH IS HEROIC. Look at what the score would have been without those 12pts .
