Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread

We're missing Lawes so much. Itoje carries like a schoolgirl and Roots just isn't good enough to do what Lawes did so often, adding that extra tight carrying from 6. The balance of the pack is wrong throughout and without the go forward from the big boys we'll get nowhere. If only there was a hungr...

The coaching to pitch-side staff comms shenanigans is going to wind me up in this game. The players are constantly being coached all game via the physio.

Seem to recall Eddie ran a pretty tight ship, especially in his first four years in charge. It set the tone when as soon as Borthwick x( was appointed, teams and player info started leaking almost instantly.

Oh and yesterday was pathetic, dunno if that's been mentioned yet.

Re: Gareth Thomas

Not sure what's more pathetic, Thomas himself or the support he's somehow still getting.

Just like when he was 'beaten up by a 16 year old before shaking each other hands soon after', no doubt there'll be zero proof of this latest abuse either.
