6 Nations 2023: “pathetic”, “shredded meat”, “end of life for some”: English media publishes sulfate the day after the shame

After a slap like that, expect the English media to take out the sulphate. It didn’t fail. The Blues achieved a historic feat on Saturday, beating XV De La Rose 53-10, scoring seven tries. A real shame for the English six months before the World Cup. Media across the channel are returning to this shock in great breadth: watch out, it’s moving!

The Guardian: “The guillotine falls fiercely and firmly”

Journalists Guardian Returning to this humiliation was the most difficult moment in their history. “Steve Borthwick’s team were hoping this weekend could bring a better future on the horizon. Instead, (future) became the headlights of a high-speed French TGV, crushing everything in its path.”

“The gap between the two teams is embarrassing.”Paying tribute to France, who were favorites to win the final at the World Cup, a journalist writes: “France Played Like Paris in the Spring”. There were the blues “Very talented, calm, strong in every way, and the rumors of their demise are clearly exaggerated.”

Even the Guardian talks about one “The guillotine that falls fiercely and firmly” In XV of the Rose.

The Independent: “France not even the best team in the tournament”

Other English media also analyzed the crowd, or turned to the English debacle. serious The Independent returns “Most humiliating day in Twickenham history” With a hint of humor: “As a reminder, France aren’t even the best team in the Six Nations. That accolade belongs to Ireland, and luckily England travel to Dublin next week to finish their campaign there. Get your calculators ready – based on this performance. (against the blues editor’s note) – 76-0 loss to Australia on the 1998 ‘tour of hell’ could be in jeopardy.”

Unsurprisingly, the journalists had to bow to French superiority, even if, according to them, their team’s weakness outweighed the French team’s performance:“Don’t take anything away from that French third row – Francois Gros, Charles Olivonne and Grégory Aldrid were excellent – but they faced minimal opposition.”

Among the reasons for “satisfaction”, Rose’s rivalry with Freddie Stewart is highlighted: “The only Englishman with a little credit”. In groups, “Aldrid and Cross Mince the Englishmen”The Independent underlines where England is going:“To Dublin in Seven Days”The journalist responded, bewildered, having trouble explaining such a way.

The Telegraph: Failure “could end some people’s lives”.

Fabien Galthié’s small words at the end of the match in favor of this English team marked telegram Who writes: “Once the English were despised by the French, today they are pitied”. From the opening minutes of the game, the Blues had their best performance of the day with Thomas Ramos scoring a try in the 2nd minute. The French supporters at Twickenham started to make noise and The Telegraph gave the impression “It was like Twickenham on the Seine”.

All French players are featured in this tournament. Captain Antoine Dupont has not escaped praise, especially thanks to his ability to step up at all times. Flament’s impressive “50-22” streak in the first period leading up to the effort marked his spirits: “He reaffirmed that he is the best player in the world”.

In the English camp, almost no one was spared. “It’s the type of performance and results that cost international life”Journalists who think Owen Farrell will start against Ireland in Dublin “Hoping to avoid a cricket score”. In addition to shock, some now want answers to understand how England have taken a dangerous step back since fielding a younger team in the World Cup finals.

But England were warned that France are used to starting matches too strongly. During the 3rd match against Scotland, the Blues scored in the 5th minute with Romain N’Damaque. Of the XV of France’s evening at the Moulin Rouge on Wednesday evening, Daniel Schofield writes no doubt: “Scotland dancing the Cannes at the Moulin Rouge cannot herald the danger of a slow start against the French in Paris two weeks ago. Yet, England fell into the same trap.”

The last word goes to Daniel Schofield, who, before moving to England, first preferred to speak of the French: “They may not win the title, they are not world No. 1, but based on this win they should be favorites to win their first World Cup on home soil.”
