England vs Fiji 26th August 23

[Jimbo]

Wasn’t that when he played wing?

If I recall correctly 15 most of the WC, final aside I’d say that was a pretty successful period.

 

[Ddanno]

Ludlam seems a bit ponderous as the edge forward

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Stuart just moved faster with 3 Fijians hanging off him than Cole does in sprint training

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Should we pass to the overlap or should we pick and go with no support?
Tough one tbf

Just remember the Fiji coach has had the same amount of time as a coach with Fiji as SB has with England.

He knows the the player base like the back of his hand being involved in every level of it, and has adapted his scheme to them. Amazing how that works, surely only logical.

Yeah it’s a waste of him tbh

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

So this is the first loss to Fiji, well SB can take his tigers terrible coaches and gameplan and sod off.

 

[Wasps92]

Steve Borthwick should resign and most of these players should never play for England again.

 

[j-dawg]

Why do England forwards always get a rush of blood to the head and pick and go solo straight into 4+ defenders?

 

[TommiG88]

Get use to a quiet empty twickers

 

[Jimbo]

So this is the first loss to Fiji, well SB can take his tigers terrible coaches and gameplan and sod off.

Add tigers players to that list.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

England played 40 matches since last World Cup. Fiji have played 17.

 

[Saintjay]

Fiji fans having a great time in that corner of the stadium. Good on them.

The England fan cheering on the Fijians on camera sums it up.

I reckon we should think about that for a few seconds before picking the wrong option.

A Bad Few Weeks for Uncle Sniff #BostikOut

 

[Ddanno]

Yeah it’s a waste of him tbh

Particularly when it's Earls' point of difference

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

In things I thought I’d never say…..

I’m almost dying to hear Borthwick’s presser after this.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Well I’ve just accepted to go to a party instead of watch the England Argentina game.

This is shocking. Less gameplan that a level 7 club.

 

[AlRums]

Going to be a slow scrum

 

[McTallshort]

Score flatters England

 

[Crash Hamster]

Ludlam seems a bit ponderous as the edge forward

Still a better wing than Max Malins


Well played Fiji, by far the better team.
