Re: Grand Slam Tour: England vs All Blacks: MATCH THREAD: Sat 15th Nov
I haven't seen the footage. But I'm guessing England also weren't playing the aggressive 'rush' type defence that we see from a lot of international sides these days? It's fear of being turned over, tackled in space means broken play. 1-15 is a proficient jackler now. Is the trend, yes, and even vi...

Re: New unimproved England rugby thread
Fingers crossed for Furbank- has he been out since the kick in the head? Yeah, but not the same thing. Apparently he remembers absolutely nothing from Cardiff at all - not waking up, not the warmup, not his 20 minutes or so on the pitch, nothing. But during pre-season he tweaked his calf and it's t...

Re: New unimproved England rugby thread
Dingwall isn't the one for me but i can see why borthwick would pick a dependable glue player at 12 for now, we don't play any ball there. Our 9/10/12 just doesn't feel best use of resources.

Re: Grand Slam Tour: England vs All Blacks: MATCH THREAD: Sat 15th Nov
Watching a couple of old NZ v England games... from the McCaw era... and a big difference I notice is that our backline back then stood a lot further apart when attacking... nowadays we seem quite bunched up except we might have a winger way over by the touchline for a cross-kick. By the backline b...

https://archive.ph/GElp8#selection-4361.0-4381.255 Pretty balanced article. I'd probably still have NZ shading the backrow battle and I think the NZ replacement front row is superior. Genge is some player but I'd still have Williams ahead of him. Cody Taylor is the only one that leaps out at me. Fo...
