Yep, should’ve been pen try and a yellow

Justice as looked a blatant knock on from Freeman break

polyallstar

Great start! Game on now

polyallstar

Needed that, odd French defence…

polyallstar

That’s harsh scrum half lifted the ball then dropped it back into ruck

Yep, butchered our good field position more than once

Accidental, was a clear scrum for me

Yep, Grady looks Wales best player…

Who’s to blame there? Both going for the ball…

Care was surely there just to get his 100? Yep...But wtf was Stampy being wheeled out on 75 minutes? f Church was against the guy he stamped, Cole. He stamped because Cole had eye gouged him, he showed the eye rips to the ref who ignored it Healy has had an exemplary record all his career. Absolute...

If we’re desperate for a like for like Daly replacement (and I’m not sure we are) then Malins would make sense. However we’ve already got Furbank who can play multiple positions reasonably well. So think we just pick the next best outside back available be that; Steward, Arundell, Muir, Murley etc. ...

polyallstar

Daly has been f**king woeful since he came on, an absolute shit show of a cameo so far

polyallstar

Blatant knock on there ffs

polyallstar

Bullshit pen and they score…

polyallstar

How is JDV onside there ffs

polyallstar

That’s as blatant a hands on the floor you’ll ever see

Shit

Nah, was never supporting his own weight.
I thought he didn't give off feet, he gave hands in the ruck (I may be wrong)

It was the right decision for the wrong reason…

[quote="polyallstar] that Aussie Guy skills guy Is this Wisemantle? He was only with us 2 years I believe, but our attack popped under him. He is proof that coaching selections matter. It turns out he couldn’t work with EJ, but we did suffer a drop off in points scored and general attacking play wh...

polyallstar

Both things can be true. The RFU is a shambles and can’t get out of its own way, and Borthwick and some of his coaching appointees are an absolute clusterfûck 100%. But the latter is probably the best we can expect, given the environment they're expected to work in. If you were a top level coach, w...

polyallstar

But then we look at England. And we realise it's not even about the coaching / head coach. Because the overall structure of the game is fundamentally broken. The RFU is morally bankrupt, led by an unethical know-nothing. The governance structure is verging on corrupt (from insiders who've previousl...

If you go by Ben Darwin it's because you pick from too many clubs which is not conducive to a cohesive team. Australia were winning World Cups when they were only picking from two clubs (maybe those losing super rugby sides recently might be a blessing in disguise) https://www.theguardian.com/sport...

polyallstar

One way or another, we do seem unable to get the best out of our talent at international level. We've won 9 out of the last 20 under 20/21 6N tournaments - and yet we've lost 4 consecutive games against a side that has won none of them, and had 7 wooden spoons during that time. :x If you go by Ben ...

England: Furbank; Freeman, Slade, Lawrence, Daly; Ford, Care; Genge, George (capt), Cole, Itoje, Chessum, Roots, Underhill, Earl.

Replacements: Dan, Marler, Stuart, Martin, Cunningham-South, Spencer, F Smith, Feyi-Waboso.

Steward Injured? No real surprises other than that...

Something tells me the agents of Mercer and Radwan will be busy today

I’m not buying it.

As ever with the RFU very good about talking about they'd like to do. But no clear plan to achieve it... Can't imagine a bit of extra music/fireworks is going to make it a "bear pit"

polyallstar

He can bang it up. Not to an Esterhuizen degree, but he can give us some go forward. Once again, name all the teams that play a 12 like Dingwall or (when he was in) Faz? Did you see Tuipolotu on Sat? He’s a great 12 now. Eddiot picked Piers Francis instead of Nick Tompkins. :lol: He did try to poac...

Somewhere in the bowels of the stadium Shaun Edwards has stripped to his pants, lathered himself in oil and is shadow boxing in preparation for the shoeing he’s going to give the French pack

Hawk97 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 2:23 pm Stolen from eggchasers:

In the entire England squad (pre Lawrence injury and post), there have been a grand total of 3 starts at inside centre. All of them Dingwall.

I presume that's this season? It's still wrong as Ojomoh has played 12 for Bath this season

Saints have stolen a little bit of a march on the opposition this weekend. Bit lucky in how the fixtures fell, getting the Falcons when Saints had so many away on England duty - but they've opened up a 7 point gap at the top. Thereafter there's little in it with the next 6 sides within a handful of...

even when everyone was available our centre partnerships looked complete shit. so we not really losing much that we going to have to look at other options now.

He's a tidy enough player, and he's going well for Lyon, but it would be a weird decision by both parties. Jackson would almost certainly be taking less cash than he could get in France, and Sarries would be signing a 32yo 10 on decent wedge. Sarries should be throwing the kitchen sink at some of t...

I'm no Exeter fan but surely the Glasgow scrumhalf literally just yanking the Exeter scrumhalf to the ground off the ball was a clear penalty before the flanker broke his bind? Yep. Right in front of the ref, they were both as bad as each other in that exchange and, as the ref said, there was nothi...

Wouldn't be surprised
You probably wouldn't want him starting against Ireland or France. Definitely a rising star though.

Not sure we have a LH I want starting against Ireland or France tbh

Hastings jesus.... Mercer is a classy player. Mercer was great, but shout out for Akkerman, who was absolutely brutal in contact on both sides of the ball. Highlights of the game for me were: - McGuigan stopping Barbeary dead in his tracks after a 10m+ runup. Serious power there, and no idea why he...
