[2022 Six Nations] France vs England (19/03/22)

[Aristodemus]

This while team selection is just wrong, not saying we would win with an optimal 15 but we going to get a pasting tonight.

 

[Reiser99]

Some said this was a team picked to stop France winning the GS. Well that ain't happening.

Honestly struggling to think of a positive...

Maybe Underhill has made some good tackles and Marchant has run some good lines. Steward has taken a few good ones in the air. That's about it.

Playing a 15 at wing isn't working shock

After 4 games of a FB on the wing which didnt work we decide its his fault......we drop him and move a FB to the wing.....shocker it isnt working i agree.

What about a really slow fullback on one wing and a fullback that can't tackle on the other, with one that shat the bed last time he played at fullback - guaranteed success

ooh - plus a scrumhalf that was **** 20 caps ago

As a team that hasn't looked like scoring a try the entire tournament (excluding vs Italy) a 12 lead is massive to try and pull back

20? Try 50.

I think we can say really Simmonds doesn't bring much to international rugby as a 8.

 

[Groundhog]

Ain't no one on hear going to be saying that. We're ****.

Ah I'm only pulling a ***

Genge has nicked his job

I hope no-one watching this is entirely sober?

Maybe if out tactic wasn't to play a prop as an 8 and give to the 8 he might be better.

Oh I'm sober....usually drink of I think I might enjoy myself.

I thought he did commit Danty which made him turn his shoulders inward which created the space for Furbank.

Just watched it back - he gets the ball with 2 Frenchmen and 3 Englishmen outside him; + 1 Frenchman in front of him, and 1 Frenchman and 1 Englishman inside him
2 of the Englishmen are calling for the ball to go wide.

He crabs across, and admittedly keeps 2 of the Frenchmen interested in him; but neither actually commit.

Pretty sure that's Furbank and Marchant calling for the ball, and Steward in support, with Youngs on his inside shoulder


I don't really mean to criticise here, it's on our own 22 after all; but I don't get him lauded for doing nothing much there.

I am and it's midnight here and I'm up at 5:45. Tempted to call it a night honestly.

Smart call.

IMO Simmonds doesn't fill that role though.

Vunipola does, maybe Dombrandt.
At this level imo he doesn't have the size
