2014 6 Nations: England vs Wales (Round 4)

[Aristodemus]

This boring English team....

Edit: Discipline is hurting us though

 

[Jaguares]

Amazing kick pass by Twelvetrees, like football (soccer)

 

[Tony Manx]

How was Hartley to know that May had touched that and not the Welsh player? Benefit of the doubt should have been given on that.....

 

[ruggabee]

Hopefully see less kicking in the second half.

 

[jaunard06]

Halfpenny and english lack of discipline saving Wales for the moment; the rest of the team is running like headless chicken and giving back the ball without pressure.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I hate hartley so much

Yeah, harsh but, ultimately, fair - if Wales had done it I'd have wanted/expected a penalty, so only fair we give it the other way

Faletau is lucky that Roberts was there though - he would've steam rollered right into May in the air and probably would have been yellow carded, but he only ran into Roberts instead.

More pics, lads:

(I love this Scrum photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

[Big Ewis]

we seem to have excellent momentum in lots of opportunities on attack but lack enough confidence or know-how as to making anything out of those plays.
A couple of huge chances botched. But Burrell with the score atoning for those what-could-have-been's. Solid stuff from England.

Mike Brown, what a threat. Always.

Ben Morgan looking very threatening and actually quick off his feet and unpredictable ball in hand as opposed to his usual straight bulldozing show.

Care with the opportunistic try. I don't know what the hell the Welsh were thinking on that play...oh well, better for us I suppose although no glory there.

Our guys are putting in the work at the breakdown, as usual, and England is looking like the team dictating the rhythm of the match.

Wales with too many silly mistakes, and yet Halfpenny's boot oh so precious - what a goal kicker - they're lucky to still find themselves right in this thing. 20-15 at HT.

 

[Wakaloo]

Not very smart, to concede that last penalty at HT... Should've played it safe, but oh well. In any case, props to England for dictating the rhythm. Brown has been great!

It's gonna be tough to call now...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Why are they interviewing these two football idiots at halftime?

Why are they interviewing these two football idiots at halftime?

They didn't have any interesting to say neither... "OMG rugby is so physical"

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Davey boy doing Gethin at the scrum*




*or, more accurately, we're getting lucky with the 50/50 calls at collapsed scrums.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Davey Wilson - when fit - is a top class tight-head.

Farrell is such a pest at the breakdown.

Would he have been a 6 if he played junior rugby?

 

[Tony Manx]

Poite missed the penalty on Lawes at the line out when he had his arm pulled away in the air.....

 

[Patchey]

Scrum penalties to England?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hell of a collision between Roberts and Lawes!


Why was that not a penalty to England for the high shot on Farrell from Hibbard?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I'm growing to like Farrell more and more but then I'm still annoyed haven't got a back up fly half if he gets injured....or maybe that's a time to bring in flood and ignore the playing in England rule!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Farrell having a good game - as he often does when he gets his fundamentals right.

 

[Aristodemus]

Shocking kick Roberts
