Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
And the malnourished, anaemic and undersized England pack will, of course, highlight his shortcomings? They’re not that dominant yet. Mercer is a luxury player.

Re: U20 6 Nations 2024
I agree, but on top of that the thing I find particularly odd is that England also weren't that much more powerful than Ireland. They definitely had more explosive tight-five forwards (particularly in the front row), but it is weird given the player resources our back row and centres were bigger an...

No one has the bodies to cope with French (and Tongan) pack tbf, apart from SA. We’ll need to find other ways. The scrum is going to be painful for us I don't know.

Re: U20 6 Nations 2024
Their backs were shocking tonight, the half back’s in particular with that platform. Their forwards were big but most of them looked fairly awkward- like not natural athletes You only need a few 'stars' to come out of an U20s year. For England our two props from yesterday + Fasogbon and Wright (Hoo...

I think the Ireland pack thought they had it won before taking the field because England weren’t playing well. That’s why they played badly.

Ireland were muck, and that was 100% of England's capability. A 1pt win, at home, in the last minute, by a droppie. If Smith slips, you finish with two wins. If Ford doesn't pull that ridiculous kick off against Wales, you finish with one win. I'm sure you'll celebrate the win tonight, but it's rea...
