[RWC2023] England vs Japan (17/09/2023)

[Ragey Erasmus]

It's baffling, you would have thought that there would still be a certain baseline level of competence from both the players and coaches from their clubs yet even that seems to have gone out of the window.

 

[IT157]

I could just about cope with losing to Fiji but being beaten by Wales is distressing out of principle and I don’t even want to think about about a gloating Jones….

Wales are going to get to the semis. They are the jammiest team in rugby.

 

[Grizwald]

Just thinking to myself, do you get many former 9s as attack coaches? 10s, ball playing 12s my simplistic view is they've got more of idea of options and attacking shape.

Bet Borthwick's whiteboard just says KICK on it

 

[Ddanno]

Oh Christ Youngs is coming on soon

Yeah that must suck. Still not over in the group however

DALY JUST GOT RAN DOWN BY A TIGHTHEAD LOCK

No-one can tell me **** about how good he is on the wing anymore

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Will Stuart and Billy Vunipola actually have identical builds. Billy genuinely could’ve been a remarkable tighthead in another life

Was gonna say. Woodward is delusional if he think Borthwick was saying pass more.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

That was shocking from Daly. Literally just taken into touch. School boy error from the winger.

He’s got kick versions all over the place. Two on each player’s pillow.

Unless he is like his brother and just constantly flops to ground in the scrum.

 

[Ddanno]

Who's on the bench for Daly again?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Who's on the bench for Daly again?

Either Lawrence to 13, Marchant to wing or Smith to 15, Steward to wing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who's on the bench for Daly again?

Lawrence, with Marchant shifting out, presumably

 

[Saintjay]

Bet Borthwick's whiteboard just says KICK on it

Steve Borthwick talking and pointing at a whiteboard would be my idea of coaching hell.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Daly vs halfpenny in a race as halftime entertainment for the final.

 

[Ceteris]

Whatever was on that flip chart didn't work

 

[Reiser99]

A little bit better Kay? They are light years away.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Did the players spray flubber onto their hands instead of spray on glue?
