ohh men !! are you in love or what ?!
French lunch in sunny Paris and in a... well..rugby southwest french restaurant ?!
L'Angleterre made the game, again, a wall, great actors..like Sheridan and his left/right arm, and of course un "butteur", a great one for sure.
Rugby s fun again to watch specially here in snowy Sweden.
Let's hope next week end will be fun as well ..pour la France dimanche et ..ok pour l'Angleterre samedi.

Dear jonny,

I am happy to realize now that you are at last converted to the french way of life! What a better way to enjoy a day than going to a restaurant and have a good meal with good mates! And nothing at this minute is important than appreciate this moment! You are a fantastic player. I am a big fan of the english rugby team and I am french! All my friends hate me and think I am a traitor. I am pround to be french and i am delighted by the game of my team but really last saturday you and your team were fantastic. You have nothing to prove, stay the same. So well done and bravo et merci beaucoup pour ce superbe moment de rugby!

T Jones, please! He's already a teetotaller, (nobody's perfect), you can't pretend him to stop eating good food too. :)

you would have thought the press would be more interested in how the game went instead of asking if Jonny felt the pressure of Cipriani. That will never effect his game, he is to focused and I can't believe how down to earth he is especially with such great talent. He definitely brings something to the team when he plays, such fire and determination, he is a legend and the reason why I got into watching Rugby Union(and not just because he is good looking). Maybe the press should be looking in to the actual weaker members of the England squad because it isn't Jonny.

Good luck to Jonny and the England team for future games!

I am very disappointed to see thaty Johnny has taken to eating Foie Gras .
I presume he knows what it is and how it is "produced".
This horrific procedure of force feeding birds should be banned and he really should know better than to extol its dubious virtues.
I hope he thinks about what he is devouring in the future.

It seems to me the debate about the no 10 shirt is purely in the media, and mainly from 2 writers from the Sunday Times.
With my Rugby mad mates from all over the globe, and in the office this Johnny playing in the no 10 has not been questioned. Neither has it ever been raised from anyone outside the press room.
Why - because there is no case to be made for replacing probably the worlds greatest player. anyway don't ask me or any other England fan, ask the Scots, the French, the Irish and the fans from down under. Our enemies know our strengths better than the press do.
So we leave it to the ever diligent Stuart Barnes who seems to enjoy knocking England players and the coaching staff at every opportunity. He must have hated it on Saturday. As for his rather stupid and now laughable campaign to kick johnny out, its getting tiresome and dull. Like his mentor the awful Wenger from Arsenal he see's only what he wants to see.

robert , London,

Good for you Johnny. It is the game that unites, and we look forward to enjoying your talentm, and our wonderful cuisine, in NZ in a few month's time.

phil, Wellington,

Well done Jonny - Good luck to you!

I am glad that you are able to go out and enjoy yourself with your team mates like the rest of us - I am sure that you would not have it any other way.

The game against France was a massive improvement from the Wales & Italy games - right from your first drop out we could see a different tactic and determination.

My son Sam, idolises you and I can think of no better role model to teach him the merit of devotion to a sport and the correct way to carry oneself. Sam met you at Hackett in London and now knows that you are real! Keep doing what you do, Sam will be happy and so will I.

Jonny, Your article reads like somebody trying to convince himself that there's more to life than rugby. Rationally you're probably there - and that's no bad thing - but at an emotional level you are less convincing as almost all of your non-verbal/written communication seems to tell a different story. If you are now truly indifferent to public opinion, then that's a significant achievement in itself and one that you've earned with some tremendous past performances. There's no doubt in my mind that you always put in the best performance that you can, and your track record is beyond reproach. I'm sure that you will continue to be challenged both by the public, press and contenders for your place. Nobody should, however, forget that the benchmark of public expectations derives from the high standards that you have yourself shown us. England is very fortunate to have a leader as committed and talented as you to call upon.

Rob, Southampton,

If the England full-back is worth four out of ten, I wondered to myself if that was the lowest possible mark which your expert awarded. If I had been awarding the marks for Balshall's performance, I would perhaps have given him one or two out of ten. He is an accident waiting to happen and he must be a serious concern to his fellow players.
Likewise, the rating of the England hooker is way out. If you are giving four out of ten for throwing in badly, contributing nothing in the loose and annoying the opposition and the referee, I think you are confused.
There are several full-backs and hookers who could strengthen the England squad significantly.
