[Bluemoon]

Shut up you absolute bellend, everyone knows that because it's constantly drilled into everyone.

Launchburry's play so far has been a big middle finger to Gatland.

 

[Which Tyler]

I'm not basing it on last week. Have always been a huge fan of his here for years. He is a great player I think. And always has been. I think he's exactly the playmaking 12 I'd have in my team or as 10 I rate him highly too

I know.
But you queried that anyone ever did rate him as less than great, and the answer is that yes, lots of people did, and for very good reasons.
Its a conversation that's been done to death over the last 7 years or so. Virtually everyone I know who was anti-faz acknowledges the massive improvements in his game. I still doubt that he's top 2 in the world though, if he keeps this up, he'll get there.

"Dan Cole's clapping for it"
He better be paying Itoje royalties

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Moriarty losing his rag cause he's realising he could've been playing for England if he'd made the better choice

 

[HenryChinaski]

Farrell literally just jumped into Davies there.

 

[munstermuffin]

I know.

OH got you.
Yeah just didn't think he was ever queried.
Now maybe you see him more in AP. I just am impressed any time I see him

 

[ncurd]

Reversed penalty?

 

[HenryChinaski]

Reversed penalty?

unlikely, there wasn't anything specific in there.

 

[Groundhog]

Why call the ball as out and then pin a player for coming around.

 

[ncurd]

unlikely, there wasn't anything specific in there.

Yeah in replay it's fine I just saw and England player being thrown to the gorund off the ball.

 

[Brabander]

I heard the Dutch commentators talking about Launchbury poking in someone's eyes. Too bad no replay of the scuffle.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shane Williams mentions Leigh Halfpenny about once every 2 minutes

Manlet solidarity

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

You have to touch the ball before the 9.

 

[HenryChinaski]

Why call the ball as out and then pin a player for coming around.

Because the welsh were holding up their hands and complaining!
No I think it was because ti didn't look like he went for the ball so much as the player.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The difference in size between Sexton's balls and Patchell's balls is about the same as the difference in size between the sun and the moon.

 

[ncurd]

England need to take a breath they were in complete control of this game a while ago.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Very strong defence
