Rugby matches are like the bounce of a Rugby ball, if the the French had come away with points from, the first sixteen minutes of pressure, this would have been a different game. As it was when Rowland made a marvellous break and Dow clinically finished, you could almost feel the French wind being knocked out of them, and they were hanging on the ropes till halftime. When they came out they were a different team, must have been some real motivational work going on in the dressing room.
I think that what changed the fortunes of the French team was Simon Middleton's second half substitutions when his team was functioning so well everywhere and change wasn't necessary. The team seemed to collapse and France just continued to play their game. This year's contest is going to be interesting as the Red Roses are playing as well as ever, winning with 14 players in two matches and the inability to convert many tries.
the English women's federation has been professional for a long time, for France it's very recent, the difference will disappear little by little and that's good for the show.
The french went professional in 2019, with england. Maybe England payed more, but not sure just "Money" explains the difference, since the last time the french beat england was in 2018!
@@AndrewUnderwood-pl1ur Nope, the French aren't fully pro. The only French women's players fully pro are those who are both in the XV and 7's national teams the rest are also working or are students on the side.

@@kropotkine9640 As of time of writing, 4 weeks ago, all th French players were fully professional. Prior to that, I do not know but France introduced contrats in 2019. Whether all th players took them up is a differeent issue.
Women's rugby has reached such a peak of athleticism it's a joy to watch.......except for their kicking of penalties and conversions. Tremoulieres' two relatively easy misses meant losing rather than drawing the game. There has to be a solution as it's a complete embarrassment no matter which team is playing.
'Seat belt' tackle on Lark Davies for the disallowed try? I know it made no difference in the long run, but it might have been questioned, at least, by the TMO. Interested to hear what others think.
The French fly-half is so easy to read. She never takes it to the line. It feels lazy. She immediately offloads or kicks. Her backs could do more if she attacked the line. Would’ve put more points on the board.
Game time 1hr 20mins Episode time 2.59mins so the build up and commentary was longer than the game sounds like the pundits and commentators like to listen to their own voices.

What a stupid comment. These ladies are rugby players not film stars/fashion models - perhaps you find the men more attractive - chacun a son goute as the French would say.

I felt for Jessie Tremouliere, who after a great career, didn't have a good final game for Les Bleues.
Great game, but , oh God, these commentators and their non stop verbiage.
For some reason the woman cannot allow a moment's silence every minute has to be filled with aimless chat.
I know, they are annoying and their voices drown out the atmosphere, spoils it 😢
brilliant!

Looking at the position they were in can somebody explain how france failed to score at 13 mins and instead conceded a penalty.

Wow I see what that paddy “comedian “ means….she really has got men's hands.
After Botterman and MacDonald came off, England collapsed.
What a shame this referee !
No longer the Sugar Babies more like sugar dumplings
England should have been penalized at least with a yellow card for the hit in the neck/face of Pauline Bourdon during the ruck clearance at 1:11:10
After her antics against Italy a few years ago, I have no sympathy for her, nasty piece of work.
And with a red at 12:39
