JKD Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 @Mice! "Rebuilding is fine, but they need to play rugby, Marler popping balls up instead of plowing in? It looked like they'd had a few days together not weeks, then loads of changes at the end always makes a mess of things." Yes indeed,,,, England do tend to use this competition as a 'test', leading on to bigger tournaments, IMO 🙃 20 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Have Wales forgotten how to play rugby?

JDog Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 England were poor. More of the same rubbish under the new manager. Wales v Scotland was exciting. Jonathan Davies and Andrew Cotter should be sacked as commentators. So predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 9 minutes ago, JDog said: Jonathan Davies I think it's the law that he does commentary for Wales games. Finn Russell was spot on, yes Scotland won but what happened, both teams only played in one half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 2nd half is a bit of a damp squib ! No dynamic play, lots of handling errors, no atmosphere from the crowd 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) TMO bottled it. I was happy with that grounding. I didn't think he would give it, but when the ref said he was going to overturn! and then the TMO went back once more! Harsh.

Totally agree,,,, TMO was virtually convinced it was a try,,,, the ref said "I can award a try ?",,,, TMO says "hang on, let's look at that again!". Farcical TBH !!! Not a great game to watch.

millrace Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 Thought tmo got it correct, he couldn't be 100% you could not say that was def a try from tv angle, yes prob was grounded but 100% cd not be ceen, the ref had a great view he shd have stuck with his decision! Some turgid kicking rugby on display not a great watch! Great reffin at twickers!!😄👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some turgid kicking rugby on display not a great watch! Great reffin at twickers!!😄👍👍 I don't think you should need to be 100%. Beyond all reasonable doubt should be fine, and the ref seemed to be there as he was about to overturn. Personally I think the ref should have the option to change if he's happy to overturn. It was his decision originally and he's the one running the game. I'm not a fan of Chesham. I'm sure he's got many fine qualities, but he's not that bright and he makes such dopy decisions at times.

millrace Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 (edited) Not that bright would apply to the eng team they just never learn,, fords kick chesham again poor technique,, as a team they make same repeated mistakes game after game....coaching issue or just generally thick as.....??..lol Edited February 10 by millrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they're all that stupid, but there's a lot of ego in our side and it seems to be coached into them. The trouble is with this lot, it's resulted in mistakes hat aren't being coached out of them. This is a dire game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 England have come out stronger in the 2nd half, but still not clinical or able to score a try 🤨 If we can stop the errors and giving away penalties we should get back into the game.

Our defensive set-up looks so vulnerable to a single missed tackle. We saw it against Italy, we saw it against Wales. At some point, we're going to come up against a side that will take those chances - and create many more besides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
