And there is always a beer afterwards, the home team provides the first 👍 Appreciated for the heads up, might see you when it all re-opens.

chrisjpainter Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 England vs France on BBC2 about to kick off Daily-Mclean's back at 10, but still no Sarah Hunter. And no showers post match either! Because they men are on immediately afterwards, they're using the hospitality rooms as dressing rooms (covid), so will have to get onto the coach and go back to the hotel to shower. Nice...

I can't believe that Twickenham only has one set of changing rooms? Real shame this game isn't being played with a full crowd, yes people would be going for England v Ireland but they would be enjoying this women's game.

chrisjpainter Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 13 points down and 10 minutes to go...No problem for this England side! 25-23 win! That was tense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKD Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Won with the final kick of the game,,,, very close and well contested. Looking forward to to the men's game shortly 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I much prefer the women's game. It is played how rugby used to be played. England were fortunate today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was behind we stopped for lunch, I'd say they made their own luck by keeping going. Perhaps played a bit narrow but a really enjoyable game.

AVB Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 The number of tackles that England put in was unbelievable. Sinckler, prop forward, didn’t play the whole game and puts in 20 tackles! And there were 5 other England players with more tackles than him.

Actually I know plenty...having Scottish family and being up in the NW Scotland every other year and having a holiday cottage in Wales sort of helps with that! I was just wondering what your personal rationale is for not wanting England to do well aside from an irrational dislike purely based on nationality alone! 2 minutes ago, AVB said: The number of tackles that England put in was unbelievable.

From minute one to minute 80, you never see the intensity drop! Their fitness levels are insane. Almost time for Wales vs Georgia and hopefully the six nations credentials proving performance from Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played prop I recon I would put in 5 tackles in a game. Perhaps 10 if it was really intense. And I would tackle and then try to lay on the ball/player for as long as possible. These guys are just machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 England won that game up front and deserved it apart from May tries not a lot happening with the backs as for our team we did win but it wasn't I'm precisive but it was there first time out as Walshie said I don't think the Georgian team or Italy are up to our standards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just watched the second half, simply wow, what a display the intensity of the tackling never let up for a minute. But for an individual moment of skill with the chip over it was 18 nil and England looked happy to simply smash Ireland all day long. I'd have liked to have seen a few more points in the second half and some play from the backs but it was a cracking display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of those Irish players will be very sore today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched an Ireland v Wales game once which was just 40 minutes of tackling with the Irish just running into a wall, but yesterday seemed more ferocious, offensive tackling with two England players tackling anything with the ball. Those Irish players will certainly be feeling it today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Scotland 12-12 France at half time. A game that's yet to really explode into life, but that French pack looks ominous. Scotland need to be safe with the hands, because any knock will result in a French penalty from the scrum.

Mice! Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Does anyone know with the games that Amazon are showing can you only watch them live or from the beginning whilst they are in play? I'm sure I'll miss the start of the England v Wales game later, but I haven't watched any games on Amazon yet. Cheers and come on England!!!
