[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 2: Wales vs England (11/02/2017)

[Bluemoon]

Momentum switched following a loss of territory! England come back, looking to go through phases well. Wales under pressure and giving way too many penalties away. A couple of really soft ones.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

That penalty Wales gave away is just something any good team doesn't do. Braindead.

That's my problem with Webb. He's talented but I'm not convinced he has a brain.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Weeeeyyyyy

Thought we'd fluffed that by keeping it tight for so long despite not really have a pack for keeping it that tight
Daly's offload was tasty

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Made hard work of that try when we had numbers out wide.

 

[ratsapprentice]

They made hard work of that.

Yeah me too, well to be honest Hughes should have scored had he been quicker on the pickup.

 

[TommiG88]

These missed kicks may come back to haunt us!

 

[Bluemoon]

Cant give England all of that territory. England did Well with their momentum eventually got over the line.

Still feel Wales are in this. Competing well at the breakdown. Need to be smarter with possession and get a bit of ball.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

They made hard work of that.

VERY hard work, but I also find it encouraging to be able to put together that many phases retaining the ball.

 

[TommiG88]

Wales step foot in our half and we offer them 3 points.

 

[Peat]

Weeeeyyyyy

All comparative innit. I reckon we want to keep it tight when you compare packs today. But not that tight!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't understand that penalty, Launch didn't attempt to go near the ball when he went off his feet, and it was a Welsh player that knocked/held him down

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Wales step foot in our half and we offer them 3 points.

Yeah that was worryingly easy for a Wales side who previously in attack hadn't shown a great deal. Need to sort that out.

Penalty was against Cole

[Bluemoon]

Wales getting a lot a gain line success when running hard at Ford and Daley. First scrum. Important part of the game!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aha, didn't notice Cole in there


Daly saving Ford there

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Itoje scrimmaging at lock. Good idea

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

That's a weird one. If you touch the ball and it falls forward, but touches the ground outside, you get the option of scrum or line? Didn't know that.

 

[TommiG88]

This game is England Vs England & Wales

Many dumb mistakes

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahahahaha

What a stupid penalty choice

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

This game is England Vs England & Wales

Many dumb mistakes

Wales make no sense. The only thing it seems to make them lay good rugby is wanting to beat England.
