[2015 RWC] Warm Up Match: England vs France (15/08/2015)

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Clark gets bounced off there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Goode is just not quick enough for international rugby.
Not quick enough chasing kicks, not quick enough to cover the whole backfield as a drifter.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Classic England: Get the shove on at the scrum and lose the ball in the process.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Burgess has made 5 tackles give him captaincy god damn it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Watson for vice captain!


Slade with a lovely pass.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Tony.

Burgess has made 5 tackles give him captaincy god damn it.

5 tackles in 10 minutes isn't bad, to be fair. Tuilagi made 10 in 80 in his last test.



Watson in the corner! Ooosh!
Not a bad finish, as well - that training where Farrell Sr. was hitting them with tackle bags when they're trying to finish on the touchline has obviously worked.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Try time. Nice! And converted.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Nice "set"

 

[Aristodemus]

All levity aside I think Burgess has started very well

 

[awardy94]

Slade though...

 

[goodNumber10]

Slade doing most his work at 12, Burgess at 13.

Looks pretty well balanced.

 

[Maverick1987]

Hate to say it but that was awesome from Clarke !

 

[Tony Manx]

Tony.

Moi?!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Burgess is impressing me so far!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Boom.

No, Tony - Tony Watson.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Watson again!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Slade doing most his work at 12, Burgess at 13.

Looks pretty well balanced.

Aye,

I'd love to see Farrell, Slade, Joseph in a game.



Watson in for his second!


Gawd, that ball from Wigglesworth at the lineout was sublime. That's why he deserves to be in the England 23, his basics are the best in England.

 

[goodNumber10]

What a try.

 

[ncurd]

May's learnt to pass at the right time!

Really love the look at Slade at 12 (even though he has a 13 on his shirt)
