Who and when was that?
Jack Clifford in the May game last year, or maybe the year before. He opened his arse cheeks and sprayed a ton of dirra rirra on Williams. And Clifford had a pulled hamstring at the time.

Well if you click on the link and wait less than one second it will jump to 3:12 and the moment of the try, as indicated in the text of the link. You pleb.

Ah sorry - gotcha. It only jumped to that bit on the YouTube App, not via website link :thumbup:

Nonetheless, you’re right! How fùckng slow Scott Williams?

Still, it’s, well, it’s not quite the same as a Triple Crown (soon to be Grand Slam) winning try. At Twickenham. With 5 minute to go. Is it?

Oh, and what a fùcking snitch.
Eddies gone the full Gatland! Taking swipes at random opposition players. :lol:

He'll be having a go our kitman by tomorrow.

I don't know why coaches bother with this sort of thing. If AWJ or Patchell go on to have stormers, he's going to look like a dick.

Could be worse, the 62-5 game is in the related videos.

Glad I never watched this one, looks like it was shite.

Edit: How on earth did they decide that wasn't a knock on?

They were hardly 'distasteful' comments. A bit 'pratish' maybe.

Not sure the Welsh really need winding up for an encounter with England - but Eddie just likes to make absolutely sure.

As long as we play well, give our best shot an d don't get beaten by too much I'll be happy against the 2nd best team in the World.
Its about perspective. I remember when we would by 30 plus to this sort of ranked team.

Funny how the Welsh on here keep claiming that they are massive underdogs - yet when they compare their players, man for man, with the English, they rate them just as highly.

I'm not falling for it - and neither will the Gods of the Mockers.

If he was confident he'd be making the 'respect the opposition, no easy games' bollocks, but trying to sow seeds of doubt in the opposition suggests that he has a few of his own.

Just looking at the hard evidence oval.

World rankings, bookies’ odds, England unbeaten at home in the 6N in 6 years.

It doesn’t look great for us.

But will Patchell care about what he says? I don't think I would, I'd be too busy preparing for such a big game to care.

I agree - it's a bit like the Welsh team keep on saying they aren't scared of England at Twickers....... Sort of suggests that being scared is in their minds.

Still, with Gatland's track record, Wales can hardly complain about Eddie playing mind games.

It's all a bit daft.

Yeah, yeah - as you keep reminding us - you knocked us out of our own RWC less than 3 years ago, when we were also huge favourites.

We should start as favourites, at home - but it means nothing once the sides get out on the pitch.

That will remain a dark stain on my underpants for many a year. However, I think we [braying cnuts] went into that game desperately anxious about the selection and game plan. No, that's not hindsight, we feared it was sh1t and were proved right.

On the spite note - it's interesting that Farrell has inherited the Chris Ashton Memorial 'Universally Hated Englishman'* Award

Interesting cos neither of them are typical hoity toity silver-spoon inheriting, plummy-voiced, royalty-redacted-for-legal-reasons knobs like Capt.Bumface.

Also, apart from having quite a punchable face Farrell seems like a nice lad. A 'winner' for sure and maybe a bit of little-man syndrome but hell even if he IS a cnut he is our cnut. And he's a lot better in all senses than Biggar who is just rough.

Is Eddie Jones totally thick? He’s playing mind games with Rhys Patchell. Can’t he see? Patchell is a ginger! He’s been teased from birth. These amateur attempts will just bounce off...

Which is why Gatland is framing it as "I've always had a great record at Twickenham". I think it is to get into the English minds as well, weaken their home comforts.

Every year an individual Wal v Eng player comparison leads to the Welsh giving their players higher marks. They then explain that they will lose anyway because one of their players (the Cuthbert argument) is total shit, or some inexperience, or the bench is weak. So England will win due to strength in depth due to population size, or so on.
