That is, but that is still a while ago and players are very different.

But I,

what what's what i think we all love about test rugby is it changes all the time and we can all get in the weeds with the detail but there are some fundamentals that stay the same over decision making over leadership over execution regardless whether you're playing rugby in 1950 or 2026 there are some things that stay the same and i think um those are some areas where i think england however you look at the game and have a whatever detail you go into you can see they're not quite working for this england team at the moment

I just would be there.

There is a chance.

I think it's a bit of a cliche.

The start is massive.

I think if France get on a roll and they go 14, 18, 20 points up in the stad with the title on the line and with England short of confidence, then I think that could be really dangerous for England.

But we've got to be careful about writing when we write this England team off.

They have in the past produced something.

And to remember between Scotland and Ireland in 2024, when there was talk of Ireland needing to go down to 13, Ireland by 40, and England won the game that day and then recovered to go and be a really competitive side for the next...

next couple of calendar years it's likewise that that rugby world cup head of the argentina game we thought this could be a pretty chastening campaign for england and they won and then got on a roll and probably should have got stuff i mean they're 15 six up with a five meter scrum against the sprint box how they didn't get to the final will still be a

then I think it will show that this team is broken.

But just part of me is thinking, I've still got to give this England team the respect to say that in the past, they've managed to really, really bar up when the pressure is on and they need to do that Saturday night.

Otherwise, as you say, Joe, it could be pretty ugly and it could be a bit of a French procession.

A number of people remain out of power, and we're working as hard as we can to restore those.

The last few are going to be the most challenging because they can be in remote areas where it's just hard to get to.

Still lots of trees with ice accumulation.

We're still picking up more outages as we're working, and we're very concerned about very cold temperatures.
