That's fair enough, and -3 is a small enough margin for me to pick as well, I'm trying to argue that the game should still be close and I believe whoever wins, won't win by more than 13 points.
Before the competition started, would you not agree that England and France were the two best European nations and the most threatening to the All Blacks? The French will be embarrassed from their loss against Tonga and I look for them to fire up in their next match against England.
They've only made two changes to the side - at prop and at number 8 so they mostly retain the same side that lost to Tonga.
England were lucky enough to get away from both Argentina and Scotland and you would be silly to say that France isn't a better team than both of them.

Physically, and talent-wise, the French are better than the English. However, time and time again they have shown that their head games get in the way of performing and thusly have underachieved too many times.
France looks like it has straightened itself out for the England match, both in selection and head games, but I still don't trust them.

Yeah, that's all good, the line at the TAB has gone up to -4.5 now so people are obviously backing the English. Pretty much if Wales or France wins, so many of my bets are gone, all or nothing haha.
I reckon -35.5 might be pushing it a little bit, it depends how the nerves are I guess because we are good enough to beat them by about 35 points but it could easily fall under, your call.
I've got a casual multi on draw at half and/or full for the Ireland - Wales game and the South Africa - Australia match. Chur
