[2016 RBS Six Nations] Round 5: France vs. England (19/03/2016)

[Vieux Talonneur]

Pen count is climbing. Nervous last 10 with 14??

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I swear to god Care box kicking is as bad as Youngs long passing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Youngs on this early?

Care's kicking has been crap but Youngs' is hardly great.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Question on the Haskscale where was Lancaster for the whole world cup planning and playing. He must be pretty high up.

Exhaust entire squad in Denver: 2 Haskells
Drop front row's bulk by several kilos each: 1 Haskell
Ignore Slade until one of the warm up matches: 1 Haskell
Burgess: 2 Haskells
Farrell-Burgess-Barritt: 2 Haskells

Running out of Haskells!!

 

[ncurd]

Jones clearly had enough of it as well.

 

[TheOvalBall]

France are playing like the Springboks. Get a penalty and straight after give the opposition a penalty.

 

[Tony Manx]

Here we go.......the minutes and a sub! What exactly is Youngs going to bring that Care has been doing so wrong in those three minutes?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Here we go.......the minutes and a sub! What exactly is Youngs going to bring that Care has been doing so wrong in those three minutes?

Maybe that box kick was the last straw?

 

[kesh]

could've swore Faz missed that kick. :huh:

not recording so.

 

[TommiG88]

Has brown done anything well today?

 

[ncurd]

Have to say Brown is winding me up a bit this match seams a lot of attack are ending with his decisions.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So annoying.

Youngs works really well with the forwards and gets them into space and at speed, also a decent Box kicker, but extremely suspect with longer balls

Care works really well with the backs, but has the box kickin ability of a walrus, and not as good rep with the pack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How the hell is that any different from the non penalty in the first half?
Ah wait, it's literally exactly the same, except because England did it it's a penalty in front of the sticks.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Eddie Jones must be fuming at England's discipline. Penalties are keeping France in the game.

 

[Saint4805]

Has brown done anything well today?

He's probably on edge after seeing Hogg cement his place in next year's Lions squad.

 

[Brabander]

Oh dear. A dropgoal attempt :huh:

 

[ratsapprentice]

Youngs' passing again.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Drop goal of the century.

Why oh why oh why.

I mean it is a poor pass but OMG can he not handle split decisions when it comes to kicking?

 

[TheOvalBall]

I'd put money on France sneaking a win here.

 

[TommiG88]

France getting the decisions this half.
