[2020 Autumn Nations Cup] England vs Georgia (14/11/20)

[TRF_Olyy]

According to a YouTube video I watched Analysing Curry and Willis's impacts on the game it was very close and Willis pipped it.

12 tackles, 3 turnovers vs 16 tackles, 5 turnovers

Great Joseph injured for playing in completely the wrong position in a nothing game...

Why not Malins and move Daly to the wing?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hope that's nothing serious for JJ, he's my starting 13

Think Marchant is more suited to wing than JJ is, be interesting to see how he goes

Why not Malins and move Daly to the wing?

Actually, yeah - that would make far more sense

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I mean it is the wrong position but honestly him going into the 13 slot off the wing from a OL dummy is a nice move.

For all the talk about Georgia being the strongest pack in the world, they really don't look it. People actually want them in the 6 Nations but were poor against Scotland and poor today.

Marchant was good there for the Blues tbf

To be fair it was just one of those things, a Georgian player tackled him after the pass and it looked like it bent his leg awkwardly. Not like he has really been a major part of the England setup for a while.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Marchant been playing a bit on the wing the past 12 months both in the prem and in super rugby.

 

[Jashay]

What we need is a speedster on the wing, maybe top try scorer in the league?
Shame there's no one like that in the England squ......oh

Ben Earl?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

For all the talk about Georgia being the strongest pack in the world

Maybe they put up big numbers in the gym, and that's the strength they're on about?
They were completely handled by the Scottish pack the other week

 

[Ospervat]

Mismatch.
We all knew it.
Hopefully the positive to take from this encounter is that at least a tier 2 side gets some tier 1 experience in the interests of developing the game globally.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ben Earl?

I meant Thorley (they were both on 11) but **** it, stick Earl out there for a bit - why not?

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Bar one pen our props can be pretty pleased with the way they've scrummaged. That's probably as much as we hoped to get out of the game.

Super Rugby is over rated

 

[Oliver Madden]

pretty good from England but not taking too much out of it because Georgia are poor.

 

[NickBD]

Marchant been playing a bit on the wing the past 12 months both in the prem and in super rugby.

How did he do in Super Rugby? I forgot he went.

 

[BPM]

Hartley looking very dapper. I don't think I've ever seen him with shoes on.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

How did he do in Super Rugby? I forgot he went.

Pretty well. Blues seemed impressed with him

Pretty well. Blues seemed impressed with him

Scored a try on dayboo, I think
COVID cut his time there in half but he got a few games under his belt
