[2014 EOYT] England v Samoa

[Tony Manx]

Flat half. Conditions haven't helped.

Ford's looked good, Farrell and Barritt have been meh, and Brown has been poor. But then again I could have written that two weeks ago.

Oh, and Youngs' delivery has been terrible. Dithering, slow, and innaccurate. But then again I could have written that two years ago.

And yeah, it wasn't a try for me either.

I agree about Youngs!! Ford has had to play basketball to take most Of his passes which defeats the object of playing him!!!

Bad weather impacting on the game.

Been a couple of nice moments but they really need to go back to just flooding the ruck and playing off that...

 

[j'nuh]

So this Autumn, two tries scored and another provided, no tackles missed, excellent defence, all despite being stuck in a backline which won't provide quality ball.

Where are all those doubters May had in the 6N? I want to say that I told them so.

 

[goodNumber10]

Fair play to May, he's really found some confidence....

 

[ratsapprentice]

Watson looking ok too.

 

[goodNumber10]

Watson looking ok too.

Yeah, to be honest not too unhappy with anyone.... Browns the only person who's had me with my head in my hands.


Great try.

 

[Irishkid]

Barrett at the 13 is awful along with Farrell. Brown doesn't look interested and Ben Youngs is slow. Impressed with the wingers, Ford and Samoan back row.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Banana!

 

[Crapspray]

Good try. Skill from Watson.

 

[TommiG88]

Brilliant by ford and Watson.

 

[Irishkid]

The Bath connection works. brilliant from Ford with the kick and top offload by Watson.

 

[TommiG88]

Ken Pisi just ran through our centres.

 

[ruggabee]

Hahah smash him

 

[goodNumber10]

"Thanks Ben! Just what I always wanted, but you didn'tt even gift wrap it"


Never a yellow!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Not a yellow, IMO.

 

[Drogers93]

Yet again pacific island teams being penalised by reputation rather than actions. Perfect tackle imo

 

[NamWarrior]

could he have given a penalty and not a yellow there? i could understand that but personally i wouldn't have given either

 

[TommiG88]

Pen not yellow.

 

[goodNumber10]

Good hands by Attwood.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Sounded to me like there is a new law banning tackles "on the shoulder line"
