Doesn't mean we couldn't be better.

France deserved winners, when England can't dominate upfront England are ***** apparently that even causes back to miss fire penalties and perfectly good attacks.

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Am I the only one who's really worried about this game? Sure, it's a 2nd-string team we're facing, but it's a France 2nd-string, not an Italian one. The Top14 isn't exactly devoid of talent in depth. I'm so used to England stuffing up the big games, and there have been absolutely no upsets in the entire ANC with the favourite winning every single match, and England haven't lost to France at Twickers since 2007... oh hell, we're gonna lose, aren't we?

Called it.

Ford's shirt is cleaner than the subs'

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

French guy just properly swung at Stuarts head there!

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

But he picks Farrell who has been poor for a while

Honest question: do you honestly believed Farrell would miss all those kicks before he attempted them?
Cause otherwise, it's kinda easy to point fingers with tomorrow's newspaper.

Have you seen his haircut?

 

[ncurd]

Why are we place kicking this and why the **** is Farrell kicking it.....seriously seriously......******* hell

 

[Jimbo]

Why would you only give Robson 10 minutes?

People might realise that a back line can function with descent service from a SH.

 

[ALJ]

Have to wonder if we ever practice back line drills because it doesn't look like it.

 

[TommiG88]

Would like to see that shot in Stuart again

 

[ncurd]

Still 4 ******* points behind....

 

[Which Tyler]

Skipper is trying to.play his way into form

 

[ncurd]

Seriously I'm usually against kicking it to the corner but if there's ever a point you do it it's there...

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

It's his kicking out of hand and general passing etc that's been poor. The missed place kicks are just the icing on the cake.

 

[TommiG88]

Why is that a penalty?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Have to wonder if we ever practice back line drills because it doesn't look like it.

Do we have an attack coach?

Like, actually?
I know we recently hired a skills coach from the NRL, but is EJ in charge of attack or what?

 

[Rinkadink]

Called it.

Still winnable but it's not "one of those days" - the problems are known and have been there for some time.

 

[ncurd]

Well that sums up the day...
