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

[Ragey Erasmus]

Why are we ****ing about in our own 22 so much!? Seriously so much Welsh ball comes from England pratting about!

 

[Groundhog]

Good stuff Wales. Liam Williams will have the pick of the ewes tonight.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Back to passing to one out static runners
Hit the ball at pace, it's basically the first thing you learn as a kid

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Hughes is useless honest get Genge at 8!!!!

 

[big ginger 8]

That looks bad from Farrell but I wonder how much he was thinking about having to help out Ford.

 

[TommiG88]

Good try Wales, England looking crap!

Scraped it last week, looking so much worse this week.

Can't keep hold of the ball. Bring Hughes and Ford off.

 

[Groundhog]

Take a bow Welsh backrow. They dragged their team into the game. Thoroughly suffocated the English for around 30 minutes.

 

[Peat]

Well that's how to **** away a lead.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Hughes is useless honest get Genge at 8!!!!

AS is your mate Ben Youngs - completely terrible. Our forwards are getting smashed because of his slow and telegraphed passes, as well as that charge-down. But yeah, Hughes looking poor.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

ford needs to be replaced by teo, a strong ball carrier is needed

english defense on the try was very suspect, didn't recognize wales shifting all their backs

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Pack isn't functioning
I'd say Haskell on at 8, but with no second row replacement do we bring him on for a lock with Itoje going into the donkey row

Backrow is looking ****e, either way.
Hartley making no impact in anything he's doing, George on sooner rather than later

 

[Bluemoon]

The Welsh back row are absolutely demolishing Hughes and the young English 7. Wales are running every ball at Ford and getting over the gain line. When Wales have this much front foot ball those attacking patterns are starting to take shape. Tips and Warburton look great together, with Faletau to come on, I'm hoping that breakdown dominance continues.

If I were England, I'd move Farrell to 10 and bring Te'o on. They also need to change the backrow.

George on, Itoje to lock, Haskell to 6, Lawes off.

 

[The Jones Boy]

This game is still there for England. When the Pommie bench comes on they will lift another gear.

England have missed 5 points from kicks, that doesn't happen very often... and you have to wonder what Wales have left in the tank.

Wales were good for the try but they should have taken another penalty kick option and squeezed out some more vital points.
When England are on the front foot they look dangerous.
Itoje is a passenger, is there another ball carrier in white or only Nathan Hughes.??

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

George on, Itoje to lock, Haskell to 6, Lawes off.

This.

 

[ratsapprentice]

ford needs to be replaced by teo, a strong ball carrier is needed

In the pack - not the backline.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

AS is your mate Ben Youngs - completely terrible. Our forwards are getting smashed because of his slow and telegraphed passes, as well as that charge-down. But yeah, Hughes looking poor.

Lol what has Hughes got to do with Youngs exactly?


One eyed wasps fan.
Yeh Youngs is useless and playing like a sack of potatoes bar the one try, but could prob do a better job at 8 than Hughes.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

In the pack - not the backline.

anywhere would do the way they are playing

 

[Groundhog]

Trying to bash through the Welsh centres is absolutely not the way to go. They looked good when they stretched them.

 

[Steveomac]

Go Wales! Need to keep it going in the second half.....
