Henderson did well there, gets on the ball when George was trying to buy some yards or con Porter into a penalty.

Hendo is 3 times the player Roux is

Ireland looking better with some Ulster input.

Bring going on for too many games.

I’ve also seen enough of JGP at this level to say we have better than him.
Wouldn’t be too harsh on JGP, no scrum half will play well behind a pack getting demolished

Yep and his 10 hasn’t offered himself to help.

They are different players. Roux a tighthead for his power in the tight. Henderson a loosehead for his carrying.

Lowe had been an absolute disgrace in this game
We have quality coming though the next 3 years - don’t you watch under 20’s?

No guarantee they will make it

The Youngs dither in full view at that maul. 101 f**king caps.

How is POM still out there

grimoald · Post by **grimoald** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:24 pm

And Pascal has forgot there was a free kick for pre-engage in the first half despite POM reminding him.

Except Hendy is also better in the tight, as he just showed

Almost every pass has slowed the player down.

Apparently not earlier on in the week.

Scrum improve once that great mammoth lock Roux goes off to be replaced by a less powerful lock.

I was just thinking how clean and clinical England have been at the breakdown.

Herring taken by the head
How did Nigel miss that

They are playing different positions in the scrum. Herring replacing Kelleher is the difference maker in the scrum.

Itolje was clearly off his feet ffs.

Willie Falloon · Post by **Willie Falloon** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:26 pm

Chris Farrell runs into contact again.

Duff Paddy · Post by **Duff Paddy** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:26 pm

Fair play Itoje. We are playing like idiots

Winnie · Post by **Winnie** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:26 pm

No way Itoje was supporting his body weight
Not a chance

Superb defence England

earl the beaver · Post by **earl the beaver** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:26 pm

George is round the head ffs.

How can Nige call the Roux one and not even mention that?

Itoje must be the best player in Europe right now. So consistently good.

Aki Farrell is a uniquely mediocre center pairing.

Dupont. Probably.

We really are doing a fine impression of running into a brick wall.

Jumper · Post by **Jumper** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:27 pm

Powderpuff clearout by Henderson on Itoje made things worse.

grimoald · Post by **grimoald** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:27 pm

Vunipola straight at the head there, and George around the neck. Good work Nige!

franch fan · Post by **franch fan** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:27 pm

Itoje is such a world class pain in the ass player.....which reflects this English team pretty well.
Great turnover again

Floppykid · Post by **Floppykid** » Sat Nov 21, 2020 5:28 pm

Yeah, the lions is going to be England and a few token Scot players if Gatland has any sense.
