People do get their knickers in a twist about English rugby. It's a public school/posh boys' sport traditionally, so what do you expect? It is changing, but very slowly. Pundits are pundits and paid to be partisan, wherever they're from

I think Tuilagi was unfortunate insofar as I don't think there was intent, but - and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong - I don't believe the mitigation of North dropping to one knee from Slade's tackle counts for a no arm tackle in the way it might for a high tackle. As @Bobbo says, Tuilagi had no complaints and went to apologise to North once he was off.
O'Keefe didn't have a great game, he played ludicrously long advantages for knock-on and missed lots of offside, particularly North who was almost permanently in front of the back foot.
Shame about France losing, I really wanted them to win this year.
