Re: Women's 6 Nations 2024 thread
I watched the u20s hammering the army the other day. Impressed with some of the youngsters. Ella Cromack and Joia Bennett particularly. Bennett only just 18 I believe. I need to watch tonight I saw the score. Were they good to watch? We have new pathways now to better develop players at a younger a...

Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread
I agree in the 1st World Cup, the squad wasn't great but it's been decent in the last 2 tournaments. England squads have an unfortunate habit of ageing terribly in hindsight, once the true ability of those players becomes clearer over the course of a few seasons. Most people thankfully now accept t...

Re: Women's 6 Nations 2024 thread
Sarah Beckett will miss 3 6 nations matches. Next available for the france game. Have to say that's stupidly light and I hate mitigation.
Especially when Sillari has a broken leg and will miss potentially the rest of the season minimum, maybe rest of the year and is one of Italy's best players.

Dan James shat himself in the walk up.. he looked very very nervy the whole time.
The polish pens were absolutely emphatic though.

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Rugby Thread
We are now in the Mitchell/Spencer era. Possibly JVP backing them up. About bloody time. We could easily skip past Spencer and have one of JVP, Quirke or even Randall on the bench. Spencer is only a couple of years younger than Youngs, or only a decade younger than Care! Which is to say Spencer's t...

And yesterday, Scotland moved the ball about better. France rely on an inexperienced, young captain, so would they cope w...

Re: **OFFICIAL** English Women's Rugby Thread
Pretty pleased with the second half. Far too many handling errors but quietly the more we play this way and play at pace, this would have been a proper hammering.
Players being picked who havent played in 2 years was also a problem.

It deserves it because it was infront of the posts and I don't care if you are amateur, you make that kick. No matter how little time it's mostly just kick straight.
To then kick it off the pitch.

Re: Women's 6 Nations 2024 thread
Suppose its one of the things with national coaching but Irelands defence with this much pressure has been very good (poor 15 though).
The problem is they dont know what to do with the ball at all.
It's all just rear guard action

Got thrown in at the deep end last season when we had Singleton, Socino and McGuigan all injured and hasn’t looked out of place at all. He’s technically very good as well as quick round the pa...

We need to build some depth in quite a few positions though. The drop off from, say, Lawrence, is huge - even losing a rookie like Wabosi was hurtful. And the bench needs to have bigger impact.
