on France-England this evening?
Is that like a comedy show?
Move along people, nothing to see here…
Sorry Francois, am watching Ireland v Scotland at the moment 11-9. As to tonights finale, I think it could go either way if both sides play to their full ability, having said that, given the way the two sides have played so far in the tournament France have been the more consistent team, they also have been able to field more of their first choice players than we have.
Will you be able to watch it live? if not I would be happy to provide a xtri type update service. The best of luck (but not too much!), let’s hope that it is an open game with lot’s of flowing rugby.
Congratulations Francois, France take the Grand Slam much to my changrin. However, it was an exciting second half which England failed to overturn the vast French lead by 3 points 24-21. But for the want of one more play. C’est la vie!
How is your post-stone return to training going?
Gotta go now, as I have a century ride in the morning and we lose an hour tonight with the start of British Summertime.
Bon Soir, mon ami.
saw that on lequipe.fr
I thought the brits were gonna take it again, scoring penalties every 5’ as they usually do against the french…
training is going fine. last week was quite big. this week is recovery.
cheers.
I thought the brits were gonna take it again,

Congrats on the Six Nations Francois.
I’m just happy that we won the Triple Crown. First time since 84 I think!
& we are the World Cup holders!
Dude, that is SO 2003

Yep, the English live in the Past
hey we won the football world cup! ha
( I don’t even like football)
That’s because we have a past, and an illustrious one at that. Let’s not get on to the One Hundred Year war, eh? '-O.
Oh, we won the World Cup once, also, in 1966. That’s why we make a big thing of it.
Go on, piss me off, what’s the weather like with you Francois?
I am just teasing you Bro!
the weather today…oh boy, you don’t want to know…
blue sky, not a cloud and expecting a very comfie 30c…
Hey, we We won a grand slam title in Tennis (Y. Noah in 1983!) when was your last?
Note: no american is allowed to play this game of “we won this, so many years ago”…thanks!
30, that’s ok, I think summer has arrived here it’s been a balmy 9 degrees today!
Grand slams, well… Fred Perry won his 3rd Wimbledon title in a row in 1936(!), which I think is 3 more than French men have managed (or did Henri LeConte win in the 90’s? I think he was runnner up one year), as for ladies a more recent winner of Wimbledon was Virginia Wade in 1977, I remember watching it at school in the biology lab (damn, damn, just given my age away ;-(
& you are right with your footnote, both our countries knock down buildings that are younger than your adopted nation of residence!
I don’t recall Leconte winning a grand slam.
reached the final at the french (lost to wilander).
reached the semis at wimbledon a few times…
what about Suzanne Lenglen? hey!
Sorry you got me there, is she Lenglen of yours or one of ours?
I just recognised a theme developing here: Rugby, Football, Tennis (cricket & golf): all sports that we invented, gave to the rest of the world and now are losing to most of the other nations… POOH, we better keep marbles and tiddy winks to ourselves I think!
