I sense a terrible disturbance in the force. It’s as if 5 million bleating Welsh trolls have just been silenced......Love it. Absolutely love it. Well done France! A resurgent French side to battle it out with us, Ireland and Scotland is just what the 6N needs.

5 mill what geography lesson did you go to dimwit. Sums you up lol clown
Well, with immature comments like this, of course you will get annoyed welsh fans commenting.
How about you enjoy the victory with some class.

There are 3.5 million people in Wales. Typical ignorant comment from a little Englander.
Best team lost and good that England were pushed by a second string and came up lucky. All the talk before the game turned into the usual bluster like the World Cup...no change and the nigels remain firmly one trick ponies well done France ....hope you nail the Brexit coffin of them as well, filthy country

This is a borderline racist comment. BBC mods, I suggest you remove this.

Winners think about winning. Losers think about winners. Thanks for your thoughts.
Salty.
Spoilt you're day hasn't it sloth
Classy comment.
Clearly from a country that’s never won a WC and thinks the 6N is important.
Newsflash:
NZ, Australia(often), SA and England are the teams to beat.
Finishing 4th, 5th or 6th in this autumn comp is an indication of ineptness.

Surely you're mixing them up with the 5th place (in both this and the 6N)

Must have missed that - Explain?
Just a thought a thought.
Wouldn't it have been wonderful for Rugby had England gone for the corner instead of the kick for goal.
It would have shown respect for the opposition and for followers of the sport not just at the stadium for for all those following on TV.

Eng may have won the game & competition but France will win the plaudits and the hearts of any fair supporter.

England have a few questions still to answer , are a few steps ahead of the rest but need to kick on.
From an eng fan , congratulations to France , French rugby looks in a good place

You have spelt shove wrong and tonight only has 1 n. The over use of the exclamation mark does not emphasise the statement you are attempting to make. Now crawl back under your rock in Sheffield I presume.
You can just picture the uber ABE, dressed in their kilt with a bright orange beard wearing the glorious inflatable daffodil head gear, clutching their string of pearls with a puce face screaming at the heavens ' I hate the English'. Just not fair is it ? Chin up ABE.

Hmm maybe but I do know that England 6N Champions.
England Autumn Nations Cup Champions.
Wales 6N 5th
Wales Autumn Cup 5th.
So, in fairness Wales very consistent,
Consistently mediocre.
England, consistent WINNERS.

Some great French youth on show very similar to the England team 4/5 years ago that are now the Northern Hemispheres team to beat.
Other nations in the NH would do well to blood youth and not cling on to old glory boys. France and England cut ties with dinosaurs years ago and are reaping the benefit and are the only sides capable of competing with SH sides.

TO BE BORN ENGLISH IS TO BE BORN OF NO EQUAL. THE REST OF THE WORLD ARE SIMPLY ENGLISH WANNABES

That’s why they played extra time, please be sensible in the future.
Go away silly boy
Give it a rest
You can hear the losers choking on their daffodils and kilts. These diseased fans need help.

Don't get the comments that France deserved to win. They gave a very good account of themselves and probably played as well as first string team would have done. Ultimately they did not have the firepower to resist and England pulled it out of the fire. Had England played the first choice team I still think they would have won and there would have been no comments saying France should have won.
After 'taking the knee' I turned off. Missed a good match but can't do with 'woke'.

I must say...terrible negativity towards Farrell and England. Farrell actually showed immense courage nailing some of those difficult kicks, and England have won a second tournament this year. nobody really criticised Wales when they won so many games with Warren ball. How many northern hemisphere sides have beaten Australia NZ and South Africa in the last two years? Winning ugly counts!
England, first golden penalty winners !!
Outplayed by a second streak of France for at least 70 mns. With Dupont and the others, England would have suffered their 2nd defeat by the same nation again, I am convinced of it. In 2021, France will remain, as for the last decades, the most feared European opponents of the All Blacks. Nothing will ever change that. Not even Joubert, nor an earthquake.

Anybody remember that Argentine prop who laid out that lanky English copper back in the day?

Pretty much what you'd expect from a Saffer!
Frederico Mendes.... became a cracking good hooker.... Paul Ackford was his victim.... but in the spirit of rugby Mendes has a Met police cap given to him by Ackford post match.... was on Arg tv a while back....
Bit of a cheap shot doing it when someone isn't looking though, no?
This was a game for all the knockers out there ( mainly the English press ) England won another competition, thats all that matters so give the boys some credit. France were at a win win today. Depleted team, everyone saying no chance and again all the knockers proved wrong. Great display from a young French team and a good game to watch. WELL DONE BOTH SIDES AND THANKS FOR A GREAT TOURNAMENT
There were reports of booing from the couple of thousand spectators allowed in the ground in response to the aimless kicking from England , what would Mr Jones do with eighty thousand doing the same
We didn’t deserve to win, we knocked on at the end and got a few other decisions. Another terrible performance, no plan B and we’d have bottled another final if not for our good fortune. Behind on the scoreboard and celebrating the opposition knocking like we’d scored a try. the ref had to tell us to stop screaming at him, where has this come from??
It would seem england have a lot to do if they are to repair their damaged image and reputation. I hope they are up to the task. It is not only cups that become tarnished if not cared for fans deserve careful treatment too.

WHAT do you mean? Tarnished Reputation? They were taken all the way by a very good, organised French side and still took the game, that happens sometimes to all teams. England remain of of NH teams at the moment. However not lets get complainant!
Would you like some custard on your sour grapes?
Ranked SECOND best team in the World at present and have just won the Six Nations, Triple Crown and the Autumn Nations Cup.
Suggest you concentrate on the issues and lack of success for the Welsh team.

Would you care to elucidate on this please? It would seem that your view is winning the 6N and the Autumn Nations Cup rather than losing in them like we did in the RWC final, is over ridden by the need to "entertain" (even if losing).
Or is your view just because England won?
