[2015 RWC] Pool A: England vs. Fiji (18/09/2015)

[Tony Manx]

Tom youngs is a major problem.

As is Marler. That was dreadful and against a decent side..........,

 

[Peat]

Yeah, I don't like it when they go back after awarding it... but, well, what are you meant to do if you see it?

Thoughts after thirty minutes

Marler is getting seperated from Youngs in the scrum and we are getting into difficulty. That's what I'm seeing. That's a big big issue.
Re not creating space for our wingers - have England attacked with depth yet? I'm not sure we have.
Great to see Fiji back into it.

I'll take a try every ten minutes for entertainment.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was a cracking crossfield but why is our scrum so **** all of a sudden? Last few years it's been pretty good.
Is kruis good in the scrum? Feel like we're focusing on loose play (lawes) and lineout (parling) with no thought to the engine room

 

[TommiG88]

it's worrying it was creaking in the warm ups and still is

Marler and Cole need to sort themselves out.

The issue is youngs. We have no go forward centre when Barritt is in the team.

 

[GoTheNaki]

I know the TMO got it right for the halfback try, at the end of the day... But I can honestly see this home media player being extremely select on what match media is shown to the crowd.....

There's no way on earth it's selective to show a replay of the try.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

"Was that a forward pass?"

"No. Fiji were offside"

Well, idiot. The reason they get to take the penalty was because they made a forward pass while having a penalty advantage... Maybe they should hire some guys who actually know the sport to do the live commentary?

SmartCookie said before that it's all independent, no home bias.

 

[Brabander]

Oh yes!!! Another Dutchie! I'm no longer alone on TRF!!! Welcome

Yup.

England is not playing that great. Fiji's ill discipline is just a too major issue.

 

[Tony Manx]

England started well but it really is a stupid plan to play open rugby at this time of the game! Get back to basics and take advantage later!

 

[McTallshort]

If the refs gives it then it should stand

 

[TommiG88]

Barritt is awful in attack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Brown is easily the best 15 in the NH

 

[Jaguares]

Is this the England level? Is this their best XV? Australia is going to smash them!

 

[Tony Manx]

If the refs gives it then it should stand

Rubbish!

Wonder what the talking will be about during half time <_<

 

[GoTheNaki]

Wow.. Awesome ref.

 

[ncurd]

England just need to get some composure should still win this but need to find where we were the first 20.

 

[Chistera]

Brown is easily the best 15 in the NH

Ha.

The scoreline's pretty flattering to England at half-time. And they should stop kicking the ball away everytime.

 

[TommiG88]

Our composure bad. Game plan wrong. We try to go wide asap and are getting caught out. We are playing with no 12.
