Burns is struggling horribly with Youngs' passing

Yes it is just down to Youngs passing when he has not played Tigers backline has been lethal.

Well when the bar is so set low at 15 with Alex Goode it is not surprising.

[ Who really uses expressions like this? I reached out in confidence to an Apple executive He did not f*cking reach out, he discussed it Sounds like a manager where i work (who loves the phrases like "we need to do a deep dive into this" unfortunately not ironically). I've used "we seem to have a to...

Petej

what is the injury exactly, and any idea why it's taking so long ? can it be blamed on leicester and cockhead in any way ? Groin not responding to treatment The last article I read stated he was trying to avoid surgery. So you could blame Tigers for allowing that. If he has something like a sports ...

I'm afraid it's going to take more than a few high-profile but not necessarily astute signings to turn Quins around. we're surely playing the worst rugby in the league at the moment , not sure how that's going to change without a clearout of the coaches. London Welsh? Would you swap O'Shea for Cock...

moronic from England. Still don't get our aversion to finishers like Wade. Still prefer May to Nowell. Is Eastmond injured?

Petej

Indeed, I expect his opinion might have changed if the matches had been different. But the quality and style, the same? Can't find where Healey states it is the worst 6N ever. The main points of the article are pretty much the same as you'll hear from Healey every week on BT. Scrums taking too long...

bloody hell tigers are stupid but win.

Petej

that can't be a try

Petej

12-16.

Petej

try given

Petej

12-9 Burns kicking % slowly going up. By the end of the season it might get to 70%.

Petej

Tigers no where near the sum of their parts. Crane on for Pearce.

Newcastle looking good.

Petej

Try for Sinotti*2 (excellent finish). Conv missed
12-6

Petej

Falcons looking decent with ball in hand, but their TH is getting murdered by Ayerza Think Tigers are going to be scoring in multiples of three again. Quite possible, although they are playing at a good tempo and getting across the gainline. No idea how it's taken this long for Pearce to get regula...

If runs around players than the rucks will be in the wrong place.

Petej

Astonishing how Tiggers have managed to transform themselves from the go-to for young English backs wanting to press for international selection into The Graveyard for test ambitions - think of players like Miles Benjamin, Anthony Allen, Freddie Burns, Adam Thompstone, Mathew Tait etc, all Saxons/t...

Petej

If you have the ability, kicking to the corners and boxing a team in is a great strategy. And Ireland do seem to have some decent kickers. It does require you to chase the kicks though, and if you are facing a back three with the ability to run the ball back at you and score from broken play, then ...

Petej

In desperate need of a 6 who is strong/dynamic enough to be a ball carrier AND tall/athletic enough to be a lineout option Croft for me is not the answer, even by his own admission he spends most of his time on the wing having a breather, no thank you No thank you to Haskell or Ewers playing there,...

Petej

England challenged very very few of their kicks We dropped our fastest kick chaser. Watched him and Wade earlier in the Pest vs Glos game. Very fast. I love watching Invers after an England loss :lol: English gracious in defeat :thumbup: Can't stand Inverdale. Even after that he seemed to be convin...

Petej

Forwards need to take the blame for that loss, not the backs. How many backlines will score tries off 32% possession at test level ffs :x The lineout has been a worry all 6N but today it was a joke, it was almost at Welsh levels of awfulness, we need better jumpers than the oil tankers Haskell and ...

Petej

The selection of Jack Nowell has really showed Lancaster up. Horses for courses, the dog in the street would have told you that we would kick the leather off it yet he goes with a guy who put in some of the worst fielding and positioning I've ever seen from a winger at this level He's a good footba...

Definitely England losing Brown.

He is solid. Like Nowell over May/Wade, Goode over Watson and Wigglesworth over Simpson.

Congrats Ireland. Would have been by more if Sexton had stayed on.

Petej

Where is Burrell? Is he still playing?

Petej

Lancasters or Farrells selection of Goode and Nowell have been catastrophic. The back three of England was critical against Ireland.

Gospel wrote:Goode makes plum of us all.

A fullback with pace would have collected and kicked it clear without the need to escape.

Petej

wish that was May instead of Nowell. As he would have just out paced those forwards.

Petej

Ireland can kick it long all day to Goode he has no ability to run it back.

Petej

Disagree with Joubert on that. The maul is being given too much protection currently.

Petej

earl the beaver wrote:More plus than minus on Goode in for Brown apparently.

Who said that?

Petej

Really wish England had Watson at fullback with Nowell and May on the wings. Just not convinced by Goode and his shuffle side step.

Petej

Bai very good, as well as Harrison, Tait and Parling. Thacker with a good shift off the bench. The ball was being passed a lot slower and frequently at players shins after Harrison went off. Pearce was good as well. He runs into slight gaps in the defensive line and gets over the gainline like Wald...

well, students if they vote are more likely to vote labour. 3 years worth of students courted while upsetting 47 years worth of graduates saving for retirement. They will get less tax relief for their pensions and therefore potentially pay less into them. Especially if they see change after change ...

So stupid.

I expect a 2-0 win in Monaco so Arsenal can heroically go out on away goals and Wenger can praise the mental strength of the team.

Petej

Petej

I think they'll be alright. Too much money in English football for them to be down and outs for long. Shitty will get their act together at some point and United will be back sooner or later. Wenger is a numpty. Mourinho would have kept his team defensively solid if his team went one behind to a go...
