I didn't think much to the ceremony, but then I never do regardless of the event. I just want them to get on with it. Good game though.

Good game. I thought France not up to their usual standard. DuPont had a quiet game for him. France SA final will be a cracker

The booing and singing whilst Macron and the other rugby man were welcoming all to the RWC in France I thought was typical of French rugby "fans". They were both vile and disgusting in what they were doing, showing no class or style. this was a sporting event for the rugby playing nations of the World, not a time for them to try and drown out the people speaking and welcoming everyone to see the Rugby World Cup. In that so much for the myths about Rugby fans being so much better than soccer fans that was an awful display and now from wanting France to win, I now want anyone else but France to win, to shut up the pathetic French boo boys.

You caught a bit too much sun Omegal ? Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells. I wish I had after a mediocre 18 holes in the afternoon and I was looking forward to the opening match but the Rugby boo boys were all too much to take. I lived in the South West for a number of years where rugby was everything to the French and they were real fans, that lot last night were absolutely pathetic and no doubt too many were there just for the occasion |

I thought the opening ceremony was well done, the match was a good opener. Sad to see such a weak AB side though France looked very comfy.
Pity about the booing of Macron.

Decent performance from 14 men in a much needed win after some embarassing losses.

The UK press, as Anglocentric as ever, are claiming a great victory for England.
On our family WhatsApp group we said, after the match, that a poor team beat a shockingly awful team.
