6 Nations 2023 – Immanuel Harinordokvi “catastrophe” after England England – France

Few have taken pity on the English since Saturday, and this attack on Twickenham turf against France. Supporters, media and spectators did not hesitate to bash Steve Borthwick’s men for their mediocre performance against France’s XV. In this Sunday’s Midi Olympics columns, former international third row Imanole Harinordogui added a layer to his criticism of the performance of the 2019 world vice-champions. “The British really created havoc. he asked. One of the weakest England teams I’ve ever seen. I could see the supporters in the stands were disappointed with their team’s performance.”

Speaking about what this historic win meant for France XV, the former Pierrot acknowledged the Blue’s mastery but put it in perspective in the face of opposition. : “There was no resistance against France’s XV. They didn’t leave the English any chance, they didn’t get off the bus for once (laughs). This win at Twickenham is historic because of the amount of scores. But we didn’t put 50 points against a great team from England, Let’s not throw away, let’s measure.” For Harinordogui, the English performance is particularly worrying as this is the team that has given Kaldi’s men the least trouble at the moment. “From the start of the 6 Nations, who has been impressed by this England team? No one. Even Italy gave France’s XV more trouble.”
