[2022 Six Nations] Italy vs England (13/02/22)

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Smith needs to learn this isn’t the prem people can tackle

Not sure Italy can really.

Smith needs to learn this isn’t the prem people can tackle

Everyone else needs to learn to be telepathic and just run perfect lines off him tbh

 

[Tooting Carmen]

Being serious he does what Eddie wants generally, and for the large part of Eddie’s time it worked no matter how ugly it is

But either way, England have lots of decent scrum-halves who have been all but ignored.

Smith holding on after the one pass alotted to Youngs to a moving player this match. Wasted opportunity.

Could do with Farrell to hold his hand

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Could do with Farrell to hold his hand

He is the king of heads up rugby tbf

Well, he's telepathic after all, so it's only fair that so's every one else

(According to Mullins, he could feel where Moroni was, without need to look or hear)

TBH I thought that was Youngs' fault. He could have taken that closer to the gainline, but instead stopped and Smith could only go into contact rather than hit a gap.

Maybe but Eddie wanted a kicker at 9.
What other 9 is a kicker?

Spencer mayber but he hasn’t shined outside the Sarries bubble

Are you saying that Youngs isn't enough?

Certainly look it so far

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Chessum is the new Martin...

Borthwick has mucky photos of EJ - he must cap at least one tigers youngster every 6N or they get released to the press

 

[Rinkadink]

What other 9 is a kicker?

In all honesty? Andy Uren.

 

[ncurd]

I've been watching a lot of curling this past week. I wish Italy could just concede now and not make us watch another 10 mins of this dirge.

 

[Which Tyler]

Lovely line by Simmonds there - defence didn't even look at him, as no way if Youngs passing to a man in motion.


Hats off though - genius kick by Smith - no-one else could have convinced the FB to fumble it.


Oh shit - who was it suggested to Eddie that Smith and Ford should both be on the pitch?

ETA:

Am I crazy for wanting to see what would happen with Ford and Smith on the pitch together?

MODS - someone needs a ban!

 

[Tooting Carmen]

If England play like this against France, Ireland or even Wales...

 

[Bluemoon]

Smith is currently both playing 9 and 10, it's quite something.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

In all honesty? Andy Uren.

nah I haven’t had anything to drink yet

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

In all honesty? Andy Uren.

**** off

 

[Geordie]

Chessum looks like hes enjoying himself

 

[BrokenWing]

Seems Eddie’s a big fan of Harry Hill
