[2017 RBS Six Nations] Round 4: England vs Scotland (12/03/2017)

[ratsapprentice]

Could have the championship in the bag today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Unluckiest high tackle ever,
Itoje with the unreal ankle tap and he falls face first into Haskell's shoulder

 

[The Jones Boy]

I told you this would be a walk over, and here we are, 8 minutes in and it's already 10-nil to England and counting

 

[TommiG88]

Oh Itoje! Keep the pressure on!

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Jesus Tony, simmer down. Daly's already duffed up

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Itoje has a real problem with high tackles.it happens a lot, though he gets away with it often.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Doesn't Richie know Hartley will head butt him?

 

[TommiG88]

GettIng cocky! Sort it out.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

We might as well play Manu at 15, the way we use Brown.
Crashball fullback is a weird tactic

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Can't tell if bad by Nowell or just good pressure

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ford's defence is truly embarrassing

 

[mustardcharlie]

Friggin ridiculous yellow card. I say this as an England fan. In olden times that would be called a seriously good tackle.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Excellent defence

Can't tell if bad by Nowell or just good pressure

Bit of both,
Excellent pressure but he sliced the kick off the side of his boot

 

[ratsapprentice]

Very good defensive set there.

 

[ncurd]

Great job soaking that up, no real breaks most they made was from a charged down drop goal attempt.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wouldn't call it embrassinng.

Embrassinng would be avoiding the tackle.

He needs to get lower though.

Ben Youngs best start in a while.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Maro tackling two forwards like a champ

 

[ratsapprentice]

If we get these points then it's a fantastic result... very little effort for a decent reward.

Outstanding opening 15.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Not embarrassing but to be fair it was only Hamish Watson, not the biggest guy to tackle! At least he tries though. I think he just resigns himself to whatever happens like a kamikaze worm

 

[TommiG88]

Friggin ridiculous yellow card. I say this as an England fan. In olden times that would be called a seriously good tackle.

Yeah, a good tackle injures players...
