Although England started well, things soon changed in the hosts favour. 3 gifted tries through quite easy line breaks were England's downfall,,,, other things too, but all I'll say is "room for improvement" 😔 England were terrible, started well and I thought hang on! But no, unforced errors were punished with tries, no platform, dropped balls, yhe rush defence doesn't work for me. 4 losses on the bounce to Scotland, it was the one game they really needed to win 😪 4 hours ago, millrace said: eng will be interesting in how they approach the game, spoil and bully and kick will play to ire power game,,will we see a change in approach are they capable of such change I can't see it, Ireland are going to be looking at the grand slam, England haven't performed in one game yet, Ireland won't be messing around with subs, they'll want to put a big score on us, it's going to be a very tough day to support England.

To be fair, the rush defence is a great tactic and actually stifled the Scots play, but,,,,, they couldn't back that up with any other positive tactics. Wasn't a great match to watch, conditions and all that, but England should really be doing much better than they are ! And yes, I agree with your last several words 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer a good defensive line. It seemed we either kicked the ball away or knocked it on, loads of posts on FB about players back from injuries and not having game time, then they shouldn't be playing such a massive international game, and that's down to the coach. I still can't believe they dropped Steward for Furbank, FS was my man of the match in the last game, yet he didn't even make the bench, dropping a fit player who has a brilliant game is just ridiculous. England need a massive overhaul, players on loads of Caps but playing like they've never met. I'd welcome Owen Farrell with open arms right now.

It wasn't great rugby all 80 minutes, especially from the hosts ! They were dire,,,, despite being down to 14 men, they should have beaten Italy, who should rightly have won except for that annoying ball wobble 🤦 Another 2 weeks off now,,,, let's hope the poor performers come back even slightly better 😀 ,,,, excepting France of course 🤭😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does get to be a chore sometimes, but I like watching the 6 Nations as it shows how teams, players [new and old] etc are performing. England seem to be in a transition and consequently quite poor. As usual these things take time, but as onlookers, we expect instant results and success. Wooden spoons,,,, 🤔 ,,,, perhaps two. One for the last placed team as usual, and a second Golden Wooden Spoon for the worst performing team 🤷😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, not when most of the players have been around forever, the team that finished the game should be more like the starting team, with the old hands coming on if need be. 1 hour ago, JKD said: Me too, and then,,,,,,,,that funny shaped ball fell off the tee 😭 Gutted !!!

Then,,,, 😞 As for that last hiccup,,,, I was willing the guy to score, then,,,, what happened ?! Looked at the timer,,,, AAAAAGH. A rushed snatched kick later, a drawn result !!! Men's danglies 😳🤦 At least Italy can dwell on a good performance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Nothing like some controversy for a Monday morning.. I thought the ref had a good game, but he got this wrong, I appreciate there was a lot going on but the TMO should have helped him out. It apparently happened before in an Ireland v NZ game. So that's the second game where France have been saved in the 80th minute by a decision, they should be 0-3 now 😳😳 And I've solved England's problems.. Drop the lot and play the A team 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
