What a play by Goode! Sorry but true!!

 

[awardy94]

Stuart Barnes... On Goode - is that the mark of a 3rd flyhalf... No Stuart.

 

[HenryChinaski]

That's a fair point, him and Parling have been very quiet, but considering Kruis' playing style it's more damning of him.

Probably doesn't reflect well on Parling that I forgot he was playing...!

I think we're missing something in the second row for sure

When gene doping becomes prevalent, a player like Goode won't have to worry about being slow.

You been watching top gun again?

Ennit, I'd bring Attwood on at 50 to try and redeem himself after a lacklustre 6N.





Care and Cips on for Wiggy and Goode

Personally from my slightly biased view point Slater should be in there TBH.

Understand why he isn't but we lack a grunt in the second row ATM.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Here's a question:
Based on the last 13mins, should Mako be our 2nd choice 13/3rd choice 10?

England NEEDS an in form attwood just for something different at lock

 

[Maverick1987]

Picamoles clearly ****** off with how good Slade has been .....

 

[ZeroTwo]

Thought Goode was decent. Not stunning international, but he's stepped up in this game for me to at least be classified as "not terrible"

Brookes been a little disappointing. Also 2 yellows is poor.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lol Clark with a yellow

It's very harsh but I wouldn't like him around my neck and shoulder.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Clarke....



Harsh, but them's the rules.

 

[Patchey]

Oh Clarke...

 

[Aristodemus]

Don't like Clark but that was indeed harsh imo

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Brookes dislocated shoulder?


Edit: Just a stinger?
I'd bring Wilson on regardless.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Brookes' shoulder is gone - could be his AC.

 

[Maverick1987]

Date I say that's really harsh on Clarke ?

 

[ZeroTwo]

Stinger at least.
