[2015 Six Nations] Wales vs England (Round 1)

[TRF_Olyy]

How many Ford charge downs? =\

Scrum still dominating.

 

[Peat]

Look, our scrum for carried away...as I said, Haskell had his man the moment faletau tries to go forward rather than lateral!

It was a bit bloody late by then!

I accept it was a difficult situation but you are playing international rugby to deal with difficult situations. If Haskell wants to keep that shirt away from Wood (or Croft), then he can't lose his man there for even a second. That simple. Hes looked good other than that, hopefully he'll make it up.

Right now England's best tactic looks like deliberately knocking on in their half...

Yeah, ford needs to sort the kicking out.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I really hope nothing comes of that attwood kick, north dived on it just as he tries to kick it

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sanjay on - race between him and Hartley for a card

Meh, I'm not sure. Haskell carries as if he's a stone lighter than he actually is.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We are getting nothing at the breakdown

0.5p missed?!?!?!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Am I missing something? Haskell's made ground with every carry tony!

 

[TommiG88]

Cole rolls away and gets penalised

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Roberts smashed by Ford!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Christ, I hate Mike Brown.

 

[Aristodemus]

Roberts smashed by Ford!

Was Youngs wasn't it?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Christ, I hate Mike Brown.

C'mon man, he's a lovable skinhead!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dunno why they're congratulating the welsh props there - Jenkins was getting shoved back so hard it looked like we were intentionally turning it.

Was Youngs wasn't it?

Ah could well have been actually - I just saw a dark haired midget

 

[TommiG88]

Garces has been bad

 

[William18]

16-8 is a fair reflection of the game so far.

 

[Aristodemus]

Is it? I'm not sure about that.

 

[Tony Manx]

Garces has been bad

Wrong! He has let the game flow and the mistakes highlighted were not visible to him!! England are being beaten by their own mistakes... Three charge downs and how many easy penalties!

Wales have only created one attack and scored a try so where are their vaunted backs!!

 

[j'nuh]

Same problems as has been for a long stretch of Lancaster's reign, carrying and breakdown.

Vunipola is struggling to get any carrying done. Would be interested to know how many of his carries have reached the gain line.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Garces has been bad

Hard to know what to say. He's made some decisions that were just like, what the!? But so do most refs... We all know the scrum is a problem... Referees do a lot of guessing. I've already made it clear I dislike garces but...

P.s Im going to sound like a dick so wales fans look away now...

Lydiatr and Warburton have a VERY LOW body position when trying to pilfer ball. You might almost think they don't support their own bodyweight....
