Possibly Rod. George said that Maro set a target last week of maximum 8 penalties given away, they gave away 8. This week was 7. They gave away 7 penalties, not too bad. 6 in the first half and one in the second. Also said the team is focusing heavily on 2nd half performances. They identified that ...

Dallaglio could barely hide his contempt for how shite England had played after the match and he wrote a similar article in the Times today.

I think you're right here, it's not the price per se. Nor do I think it is about wall-to-wall coverage. Rugby gets very GOOD coverage, in fact, reflecting the amount of status built up over the years rather than player numbers. I think the barriers ARE social- if I was a working class boy or girl I...

Hoof

He was terrible, I reckon he's got the slowest scrum engage tempo I've ever seen, took a f**king age.

Hoof

He's just not a leader. There's no vision or direction. 'We're just thinking about the next game' is a cliche for most people, but for Borthwick the short-term is everything. I always remember an interview with Donncha O'Callaghan where he talked about how the fear of failure was his, often crippli...

Ticket price argument doesn’t really stand up as the problem. England football friendly rickets start at£110 and climb rapidly. And the crowd there is almost exclusively “working class” I think you're right here, it's not the price per se. Nor do I think it is about wall-to-wall coverage. Rugby get...

Borthwick is an RFU blazer's wet dream.

Hoof

Yeah, it's just not part of his approach or run up for me. You can tell because he's looking down and has no idea they are actually charging him until the last second when they are in front of him. If he was actually starting his approach, he'd already have been in motion. Nah, I think it was a goo...

Hoof

Our next game is... probably our biggest 6 nations match in terms of turning a corner on performances since 2017? I think Scotland, particularly only the result, is the judge of this tournament now. Win that, and you have a free shot at Ireland who are the best side going at twickenham. Win it, you...

Hoof

That's the line Biggar and Wilkinson both took and it's understandable. Would need to see it again all the way through. Felt like he was in his original side on starting position for quite a while before making that move. Welsh lads didn't charge for shits and giggles, they genuinely weren't sure a...

Ben Earl been playing well.

Reffell probably better but Earl's try was about the only test level bit of skill in the whole match.

Yep, the players have been awful but the referee was even worse.

The slowest scrum sequence shite I've ever heard.

He runs like a 3rd XV lock. I bet he wears Adidas Flankers - size 14.

RU needs to get rid of scrums, or just tell props to fudge off.

This England pack are collectively being paid over £200k for this match. How do they fill Twickenham? This is shit.

Hoof

It would be refreshing if a commentator just called it as it is - shite.

England missing Faslet, but not to the same degree as France miss Dupont Yep, but hell will freeze over before the clueless wankers in here will admit that. Man alive. This team is absolutely not missing farrell. And like moths to a flame, one follows another. Of course England are missing Farrell,...

He'll be on a huge salary. And it won't be paid in monopoly money.

Popular opinion - noon, erinle or hape would be a massive step up for England. Now.

I would be a step up on this midfield ffs. Non-tackling, non-carrying centres. A new low.

Hoof wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 8:38 pm I genuinely think this is a 50:50 game.

I don't think Borthwick is a very good head coach at all. He's basically an analyst, he's not a leader. And he's almost insufferably dull.

50:50?

A tad optimistic.

Considering you’re a Saracens fan this lack of style should delight you.

Dull wit kant Bimbo.

RodneyRegis wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 6:29 pm Underhill does something.

Slade is dreadful.

This is the worst skill level of any 5 or 6n game I've ever seen. And I watched Ireland in the 80s.

They were even worse in the 90s tbf.

Hoof

Dingwall watch:

Any sightings yet?

Conversions: Should be 30 seconds allowed to kick the moment the referee stands on the kick line on the 22 and signals the clock had started.

Penalties: Still 60 seconds allowed.

Miguel Indurain wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:48 pm Welsh defence looks very shakey

Still good enough to stop the England attack getting fudge all points from a trip to the 22.

Hoof

Good. I hate the f**king Jocks.

Hoof

This game is like a 4th XV spazfest.

Even England play higher quality than this. It's that bad.

I'm no fan of either person in this dialogue so I've developed and settled on an opinion regards this interview before watching any of it.

Ben Youngs got 115 caps. What happened to his bazballs?

As current Premiership Champions, Saracens don't need to prove they're not shite.

Cuthbert also has a decent trophy cabinet - in a team sport its a sh*t metric and its disingenuous to keep flopping back on to that tired cliche the way you do Also I played in 14 positions and was sh*t in all of them, versatility is only a valauble asset if you are genuine class at those positions...

He's consistently produced the goods for 10 years and he has a trophy cabinet that reflects his talent. Additionally, he can play in at least four positions, whereas...
