Frenchieboy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Glad you reminded me mate, I'm off to turn the telly on. If England can keep hold of their discipline (Which, let's face it is usually their week point) they have a good chance of winning, especially after the way that France have been playing recently! Let's hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Same old England.Shocking discipline costing pens but unlike them they are dropping off the first tackle too often and the Frenchies have found a game at last.England will have to regroup and tighten up or they wont get back into this game.Tualagi could be the key as at least hes breaking the game line most times but lacks support going with him. Come on England. bad Luck Ireland Not bad luck fella,the best team won on merit. Edited October 8, 2011 by sako751sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Half time score................ England 0 - France 16.................. it says it all! France are playing a game that is uncomparable to the one they played against Tonga and unfortunately England are making far too many mistakes and handling errors (As per usual) - The likes of which you would only expect to see from a school boy side. If England can't tighten up their game and get some discipline they are unfortunately going to get well and trully hammered today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Not that im bothered,but for the good of english rugby he should have been punted long ago.Top player,but since he took the reign the rugby England has played has been dire.Why Wilkonson still gets a game is beyond me,and Flood at stand off creates more for those around him.Some of Johnsons changes during and after games is baffling and hasnt been able to make his players adhere to any new law changes mostly i think due to his moaning about the refs early on.

leeds chimp Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 MJ in interview,"this team,its best days are still to come".Completely and utterly deluded. I disagree...alot of the players are still young in the early 20's and have loads to learn about playing on the big stages and games..and that only comes with experiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I watched a TV program the other day where they were saying the England had a brilliant chance of winning the Rugby World Cup hands down. I'm just trying to remember what the program was called. . . . . . . . . Oh yes, that's it - Jackanory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally would like to see Flood instead of Wilko for a start Bringing the lump of simon shaw on in the last 20 mins is pointless..needed him to at least start they just did not have any direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong,im not slating England,well,i am really,but with their player base they are woeful,and i put the blame at Jonno.He was a Lions legend who led from the front,but as a coach hes a rabbit in the headlights.
