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

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

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.

Quite a lot, because while our pack is looking **** our decision making at half back is also, and Youngs in particular is throwing some of the forwards under the bus.

 

[Groundhog]

Nice little tribute for Joost by the Beeb there.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

so you can either keep doing what you have been doing, which obviously hasn't worked

OR you can make changes, and bring on one of the game changers from last weekend

i'd take the chance of a fresh teo vs the centers who have already played a half

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I hope the pack are getting an absolute rocket from EJ.

 

[Peat]

Don't think the main problem is in the pack tbh, its failing to exit territory when we got opportunities

*watches Hughes lumber upright into contact* Well okay maybe not.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How is the ref saying that tackle is perfect?
Really clearly late
Bull.
****.

 

[Brabander]

The Wales players love to challenge each other in the air..

 

[ratsapprentice]

Wales' assistant tacklers are being allowed to hold on to the ball waaay after the tackle is complete.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What, he shouts release at Warburton then allows him to stay on it and turn it over

 

[Which Tyler]

And another deliberate knock-on not given (well free-kick advantage only)

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Quite a lot, because while our pack is looking **** our decision making at half back is also, and Youngs in particular is throwing some of the forwards under the bus.

Can't blame Youngs for Hughes running like Lawes.

 

[Brabander]

That was some enjoyable ping pong play.

 

[Bluemoon]

What, he shouts release at Warburton then allows him to stay on it and turn it over

In fairness, I thought that there wasn't a an Eng attacker there, so no ruck and the ref let it go. I may be wrong though!

 

[Peat]

This team looks so passive all of a sudden.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

If only Wales hadn't poaches moriarty

 

[Gavin]

Hughes lolz

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

What, he shouts release at Warburton then allows him to stay on it and turn it over

Exactly. And Wales will do this if allowed to, it's what they do. But that's where your leadership needs to be having that conversation with the referee and putting it in his mind.

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Moriarty's been so impressive defensively. Deserves to stay in the back row more than Warbs once Faletau returns.

 

[McTallshort]

Back row making the difference

 

[j'nuh]

How is Hughes so easy to push back? He's like 18+st isn't he?
