    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    he is indeed, I would simply rather play a back rower in the back row than a lock was my point, if the balance is right I don’t think the numbers are hugely important.

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    You could also add Ben Earl to that list of viable 6s if with someone like T Willis at 8.

    Premiership Rugby 23/24 - Round 13

    Should be a descent games, will be making the trip shortly went to the same fixture last season tickets prices very reasonable.

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    Bit ropey first game but excellent after that, I genuinely don’t think we have an alternative who can really turn the tide with big momentum stopping hits when under pressure, that’s what we have really lacked in the darkest days, as Olly said him and currys pair perfectly, with Earl at 8 and...

    TRF 2024 Player of the Tournament

    He had been standout since the WC build up, if teams/players hadn’t spotted that before their games their analysis is poor he hasn’t just started to do it this 6 nations.

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    This is the thing I admire about Smith, I am not suggesting he’s a viable 15 option by any means, when at 15 in the WC he made some decent tackles and provided a speed bump at other times sure he didn’t make show stopping tackles but he certainly didn’t attempt to shy away from them.

    Is he injured again, he looked pretty good shape wise in the As game I watched recent highlights of.

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    I think Furbank has been pretty good with a few errors more than we would like, long term he might be surpassed by Josh Hodge who looks like he could be really good but may need to add a little bulk, not sure if Tyrone Green would ever play for England but another FB with pace and offers a...

    England 6 Nation squad 2024

    Think that's mostly fair, it's also fair to say France grew into the tournament and Le Garrick made a huge difference to Luku earlier on in the tournament so it's not really fair to compare how they performed against other teams earlier in the tournament. Defensively we are pretty good in...

    [2024 Six Nations] Ireland vs Scotland - 16/03/24

    Think games between the two would genuinely go down to the wire with either team in a position to win it in the last play or so, possibly have to favour SA marginally due to home advantage.

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    It’s hard to put two players who to be fair have looked very good over a couple of games into the same bracket as ones who have won world player of the year, slams and world ***les, they have proven it even when people know their qualities, whilst in places we have depth in the pack we really...

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    Your views are shared by many, he never really had the experience, I am marginaly more confident in him now than I was a few weeks ago. You’ll have to excuse Geordi, indefinite optimism, its a survival technique for Falcons fans.

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    How are we defining quality though? If at the heart of it is entertainment factor and people enjoy it and are entertained by it, is that not a level of quality, sure we never got the nail biting slammer contenders deciding it on their last game, most teams are in transition somewhat post WC just...

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    Can’t complain losing to a single descison, it’s upto you as a team to take it away from that, lots to be pleased with, main worry though is how good France will be again when DuPont and N’tmack return, think their missing quite a few from their pack, they almost have SA level depth there.

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    I quite enjoyed those if I am honest, I never expect to much from the first 6 nations post WC, it started off meh but I enjoyed it more as it went in.

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    Who knew that having a running threat at 12 and FB could really ignite an attack.

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    It started off pretty terrible but got better mid way IMO.

    Ffs England, you do so much right, then score own goals….

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    Yeah makes sense tbf. Having said that didn’t smith get injured in camp which Ford was already in?

    [2024 Six Nations] France vs England - 16/03/24

    Still don’t think Ford should have been in the squad originally due to his lack club form, however he has been soo good last couple of games, glad his is now lol.
