Much rather Monye is on rather than Healey being an extra video ref all game

Nah it's good to see. Proper counter rucking past the ball
It's not counter rucking if you seal the ball off by going to your knees

To do that, you must have driven past the ball already. Hence, counter rucking.

marcopolio

Yeah he's f**king awful. Have to tune him out.

marcopolio

Very much a home ref for sure.

Looking forward to seeing George Ford playing behind this pack.

Really like Sale's aggro approach to the breakdown.

Are you new to rugby?

Nah, its just an ongoing nitpick of mine. The context of advantage is weird.

marcopolio

If dropping the ball as you go over the tryline isn't advantage over, what is?

marcopolio

Why is this a conversation? That's clearly a red based on the previous conversation and the left arm was tucked.

So red.

This is bizarre.

marcopolio

Oh right. It's a wind up. Good one.

marcopolio

The Players lawsuit has done that. Absolutely no chance the game survives if the players don’t change. There's no way that should be a red. There's no jeopardy allowance. Earl did nothing wrong. It doesn’t matter what we think, the ref is 100% correct with the laws. I said the decision was correct ...

marcopolio

At knee height. No mitigation for tackling low when the guy gets tackled into you? That has to be a yellow at worst.

marcopolio

fudge me. At knee height making a tackle and that's a red? And because he isn't passive??

The wrap comes after as well but the guy is already on the floor. I get the law has been applied correctly but that is a joke for the game.

marcopolio

Should be a yellow try or not

marcopolio

There has been some really nice stuff from Farrell at the line tonight, getting really flat and throwing quality passes. Some good stuff from Smith as well, in smaller measure.

One small bright spot in a very dark night. Perhaps the darkest being the lack of ability to perform in the lineout.

marcopolio

Two scrums symptomatic of England's cluelessness. First one, Billy breaks to the blindside, is tackled, forwards flap around, ball goes to Itoje, he's tackled, forwards flap around a bit more looking like they don't even know how to secure breakdown ball. Abysmal. Second one, scrum stationary, secu...

Are his calls wrong?

Nah, every one is right and generally pretty obvious. Not his fault the game is broken up by idiots making idiotic plays.

Billy looking confused after his two pens....

Yeah, dropping a try pretty much should be advantage over....

marcopolio

Oh yeah and JVP having a terrible time of it. Too slow to react and poor box kicking to boot.

marcopolio

England are incredibly disorganised Can't provide clean ball. Props getting mashed. Lineout inaccuracy and disorganisation in attack and defence. Terrible maul defence. Lots of idiotic penalties. You can see the standard of coaching is poor. You can see the scripted 1 2 3 phase play and then it bre...

marcopolio

It's frustrating watching OHC, Radwan and Earl putting in excellent performances every week and not getting close to the squad.

Its bizarre now. Every selection is baffling and frustrating.

marcopolio

Congrats NZ. Deserved on the balance of play.

England made terrible decisions under pressure. Last lineout was so obviously a throw to 2 jumper. So poor.

marcopolio

England going to lose through appalling game management.

Off the shoulder then head. Listen with your ears.
Shame they showed a French tv standard replay. I

Yep.

Now managed to find a view for the TMO to review whether a kick was touched

marcopolio

Wow. Getting head butted in the tackle isn't a red now....

England 10 missing touch with every kick until she can't kick direct for touch....

Least mistakes will win this and England 10 is making a lot.

marcopolio

The reffing is so chaotic....

marcopolio

England 10 is terrible. Kicking it away so poorly.

The difference is power is monstrous and they shouldn’t apologise for it.

Absolutely. It's the WC final. Get the job done.

marcopolio

England just better drilled.

NZ chip kicking into touch to allow England to setup rolling mauls is a bold choice.

marcopolio

He's having an absolute shocker. His reffing of the maul is appalling. It's just confusing and bad.

marcopolio

Good lord there is some ropey refereeing here.

He's a poor ref. Bad decision here against McFarland and now a penalty try + yellow card. Really poor stuff.

marcopolio

That TMO is a Quins fan isn't he! :lol: Glad the try stood, the try looked legal to me. Great game to watch though. Rugby Union played like that is the best game there is. Superb. Great game. Think they said something like 27 kicks about 70 mins in, Vs 110 in the Tigers game. Makes a massive differ...

No denying, it has been horrible today.

It's remarkable for how bad it is. So much worse than the sum of its parts.

marcopolio

What a disgraceful England performance.

The downward trend continues. The lack of game management is astonishing.

Get Arundel on for some gas. Take any of the back 3 off.

Yep. Absolutely this.

Steward looked lost there.

marcopolio

Some interesting reffing, especially at the breakdown and scrum. Maybe I'm not used to SR reffing but a lot of the pens seem like they would be the other way.

marcopolio

Sam Burgess out there spouting shit again. Lads got some serious issues going on.
