[2020 Six Nations] Scotland vs England (08/02/20)

[TheOvalBall]

That ball is a bar of soap.

 

[Leinster Fan]

Much and all as I love a good slugfest, I'd prefer if this if it wasn't a 'who can manage the shittiest kick' contest, with an added dash of 'Scotland have no set piece' as a supporting act.

At least Young's hasn't kicked it out on the full yet

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wish Moore would shut up about not straight.

We get it.
But the wind is ****.
And the ref ain't giving them

New viewers don't want to hear a moany former player go on about the same things.

You'd have thought they'd be a bit better at holding onto the wet ball after they oiled their balls so much in Japan

 

[Bluemoon]

Why did Scotland choose to take an attacking high box kick. That really is stupid.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Yup, so we should just stop trying and keeping in hand. Only kicks worth trying are down the middle for territory or a grubber

First 10 minutes we went for grubbers and they worked. Why not keep doing that?

What England did after the RWC final With oily balls in Japan is their business.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Curry made more metres on that run than the rest of the team combined over the rest of the game

 

[Which Tyler]

Look at the posts waving around

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Poor Genge

Right decision to take the kick, potentially game deciding if he gets it.

You'd trust Ford or Daly over him today?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ironically this was prob the best game to start Youngs

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Earl at 7, Curry at 8
Why

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Oh it's that iceman Farrell? 1 from ******* 4?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Stats wise Ford is the better kicker.
In these conditions it will still be hard regardless.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Don't really know why Devoto isn't on yet. A proper 12 to crash the ball up a bit would take so much pressure off of the 10 in a game like this.
