[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 3: England vs Italy (26/02/2017)

[ratsapprentice]

I like it in terms of enabling intelligent play but it just makes the game an ugly mess.

Although it is distressing how little England know about the laws. They're almost worse than Lacey.

It's embarrassing, it's taken them 20 minutes to understand what they're supposed to be doing, and even then...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

WTF was that pass about Care!

Ford, wasn't it?


I'd say empty the bench, but it's not like we've got players standing out as ****, the whole team is playing ****.

 

[Groundhog]

Hartley too stupid to realise what's happening and keeps asking Poite what to do.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Haskell doing Hartleys job for him.

 

[Jockstap]

Relax Englishers you'll still get the bonus point in the second half. It will be a miracle if you don't.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Poite has done an excellent job communicating when a ruck has formed since Italy adopted the tackles.

Hartley is just an idiot.

 

[ncurd]

Ford, wasn't it?

I thought it was intended for Ford. Fairly certain it came straight out of the non ruck.

This asking about the laws is embarrassing.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Astounding... it's like the diving on the ball as it comes out of the ruck..

How do they not understand the laws around rucks!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why did he chip it instead of running more lateral after the break and looking for support?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Care, had advantage but decides to go solo end the advantage and the go up and under with no support.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I thought it was intended for Ford. Fairly certain it came straight out of the non ruck.

Ah, could be.
I thought the commentary said it was ford but they're both manlets with the same hair, so easy mistake to make

 

[TobesHodges]

Italy are absolutely abusing the sport by abusing this rule, ruined rugby. The IRB will change the law with immediate affect because of this, Connor O'Shea is a ****ing scumbag..

 

[Peat]

Astounding... it's like the diving on the ball as it comes out of the ruck..

How do they not understand the laws around rucks!!

In fairness, I'd never heard of that law before, never seen it applied, and regularly see incidences where it could be applied where it isn't. I'm all for holding pros to a higher standard, but not with rules that are never actually played.

But surely people have seen the Chiefs doing this and realised it was coming up here sooner or later.

Relax Englishers you'll still get the bonus point in the second half. It will be a miracle if you don't.

Am I getting this two hours of my life back though?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Lawes carrying well today

 

[McTallshort]

Well it was good while it lasted

 

[westernforce]

lol....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hughes.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wish we had Eddie cam.

Bet he is bright red.

 

[ncurd]

Hughes you ***!

Poite having a real good game though.
