henry d Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Eddie Jones stirred the pot, Ellis Genge added to it, then the jehovah`s witnesses added the final twist of the knife... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Women's rematch went well - for England. Hand warmers all round wehn play broke down. Looked pretty brutal but this highlight package is worth a watch lovely try at the beginning and a right clanger of a quick lineout/pass to yourself from Scotland! That'll make Hogg feel a bit better. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/rugby-union/51451217 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Wales new coach Wayne Pivac made a statement today “Wales should not panic we only need minor adjustments before we face the French”, I think he is the one that wants to start panicking I got feeling only win Wales will have this campaign will be the one against Italy.

Don't say that the Welsh fans will savage you!! They always raise their game against England, and we're not firing on all cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 Really odd, you could say that it is all over one more beer (Ellis did ) but as the squad decided that 2 beers was enough pre-training the next day then it is more than just the coach and Finn.

chrisjpainter Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think we're seeing another one of Jones' brain freezes... Jonathan Joseph to play on the wing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/51578615 What does Jones have against Ashton?! Jones is resorting to playing centres on the wing when Ashton's always been a try scoring machine out wide. Ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Ollie Thorley, been in and out of the matchday 23 squad regularly, but never gets a game, he is a good defender and proven try scorer.

Mhmm. Or be proper revolutionary. Put Eliot Daly on the wing and get someone in who can catch a high ball at full back, like Alex Goode. Jones' blindness to quality outside his little cabal of backs is one of his biggest weaknesses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) 10 mins in to Italy vs Scotland. It's a shocker. Errors all over the place. penalties, knocks-on, kicks straight into touch, lost lineouts missed penalty kicks...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Not much of a game is it, I keep knipping in to the cellar to sort out the wine, not missed anything yet! Interesting to see that Italy might shock the Joks. Edited February 22, 2020 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 It's a comedy of errors, thought Scotland was in for a early try but alas no, cocked it up and thes missed a kick. Great run from Italy but stopped short. Very scrappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
