chrisjpainter Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 van poortvliet is having an absolute shocker. He's just not quick enough to the ball and to the breakdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 France have been absolutely superb. They've played wonderful rugby and we're well off the pace. Far too many steady-eddy players in the forwards, not enough flair and cohesion in the midfield, far too many penalties. France in the World cup should be entertaining to watch.

He was one of our better less awful players today and did come up with the occasional bright spark dim, 10 watt glow. But we're so bad everywhere else that whatever good things are done, it's never long before all the work's wasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Italy v Wales earlier, it was great to see fresh players for Wales, not just the same players, Wales looked good, capitalised on Italys mistakes and got the win they needed.The commentary team said Wales are staying in Italy for a training camp which will do them a world of good.Italy?? They looked good but still made far too many errors, but compared with previous years it has to be their best ever performance at a 6 nations, even without a win. 1 hour ago, chrisjpainter said: France have been absolutely superb.

France in the World cup should be entertaining to watch. I've been on catch up all day so avoiding my phone.Hands up who still thinks Smith is world class?The French targeted him, and so will other teams.The first half was the worst English performance I've seen, no ruck speed, mistakes, little real threat it seemed.It's just a far faster game than club rugby.While France, just wow, that's their best game so far, they totally took us apart, faster, more aggressive, turned us over, ran better lines, linked up, and slowed us down, just brilliant from start to finish.thats without even talking about Dupoint, he kicked us to death, ran the game and was simply sensational, he misses nothing.I thought when the subs started coming on in the second half things were going to improve, but there were still far too many errors and the points kept piling up.Watched Genges interview at the end, he seemed humble and honest, made no excuses, what a game to captain.

He plays heads up rugby you can see him scanning the field before he kicks he sees where players are out of position i think he will get player of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
