[2019 Six Nations] Wales vs England (23/02/2019)

[ratsapprentice]

Aye, last 20 was crying out for something to spark - Robson and Ford coming on could've given us the kick in the dick we needed
Lawes breaking his leg didn't help, mind

Farrell was definitely the issue, I feel.

Very odd decision making/tactics, and mixed execution.

 

[Pom in Exile]

England players looking noticeably not too bothered at losing, bit weird.

No plan B at all.
In that sense having two easy games ****** us.
Wales played poorly the first two weeks so knew how to dig deep, change tactics and grit out a win

We applied our gameplan and had no idea what to do when it didn't work cause we just cake walked the previous two games

 

[Leinster Fan]

'Why did England lose that test match?'

Well there's an obnoxious question.

Just losing in Cardiff is not the end of the world.

Well she is an obnoxious twat so...

Lol, England getting a reality check, at least it will shut the moronic english journalists up who as usual have been hyping them as the worlds best team.

Eh up lads, someone who's never posted before has turned. I'll bet he's here to commiserate England and congratulate them on a good performance in defeat. Let's see what he has to say

Couldn't agree more when all is said and done any first tier nation should be expecting to win at home, the score line probably slightly flattered Wales, Wales deserving of a marginal victory.

Did we though?

Against Ireland one of the first things we did was "Give it Manu!", I don't know if he was given the ball to run straight at all in the first half.
We were probing fairly hard in phase play before kicking as far as I recall, today we basically just kicked it straight away - perhaps I've imagined that.

The second half was like watching in slow motion - "Oh, they really aren't going to change what they're doing".

Let the trolling commence...

No I know, but they almost to a man looked fairly nonchalant about it. Least they could do is go down on their haunches and look a bit miffed for a second or two.

 

[Every Time Ref]

No idea why we didn't use our bench...

Probably because Ford was on it

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

We played the the game plan, not what was in front of us. It was pretty obvious that what worked against France was unlikely to succeed against Wales.

Was poor that the half backs didn't realise that, but Jones should have and taken action much earlier.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Probably because Ford was on it

I wonder if him and Joey Carbery meet up, eat loads of junk food and watch the notebook together often?!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Manu had one decent run through the Welsh back line the entire game. Thought that would really ignite England, but sadly it did not. Manu just wasn't in the game enough. Faz, just kept kicking it away and badly. It was as though Jones didn't want to take Faz off being the captain or didn't want to shift Manu to 13 and shift Faz to 12 and bring Ford on at 10.

Genge and LCD should of been used around 60. We needed some impact.

"What do you want? God dammit WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"Just 10 minutes at the end"

 

[Aristodemus]

Wales went for one up so much in that second half and it just negated our line speed that worked so well in the first and and two previous games. Congratulations to Wales on the win though, they put in a great performance and thoroughly deserve the win.

On an unrelated note I really dislike the media (particularly the BBC) constantly going after Sinckler.

Yep, Jones basically saying that he doesn't trust those guys on the bench...not great really.

 

[87Dreamer]

Humble in defeat, I'm not sure what u expect him to say, he's a quality operator.

Pffft he's trash, most overrated 10 in world rugby
