[2024 Six Nations] England vs Wales - 10/02/24

[Bluemoon]

That was a dreadful performance from Wales in attack, given they had 2 yellows and the majority of possession. Should be much further ahead so far and England will get a bit of possession at some point. If Lloyd can get it together at ten and start exploring a bit more space there's a real chance of a win here.

Need to bring back the kamikaze twins, Roots is a non-entity at ruck time

yeh he works well against teams without a threat but Reffell is exposing him a lot

 

[dirty harry]

We got big problems, but the biggest is I don't see how we score. It took Earl scoring when he shouldn't just for 5 points.

How much energy did England have to exert to stay competitive in that 6 min period when down to 13?

@LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan) watching Mitchell and Dingwall play like headless chickens after saying "Can they do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke?" about Saints all season

Lloyd cant kick, pass and is indecisive ball in hand, hes been woeful...

But realistically, even if he has the half of his life I still expect England to power their way to a 5 point win

So he plays well when he has an arm chair ride. Glad we're selecting players based on that. Honestly we got lucky last week at the breakdown and I said I was worried this week and it's come true. Borthwick needs to take responsibility for picking a back row that isn't balanced. Reffell has it so easy right now.

 

[Saintjay]

Awful first half, England started well, then it went pear shaped with the yellows and they havnt been able to get control back.

Reffell best player on the park by a stand out mile.

Yeah and it's not like it's a secret Reffell is very good at the breakdown. Clearly a surprise to the video analysists and England camp.

 

[BrokenWing]

We've had a week of excuses about getting used to a new defensive system, but I assume whatever system you're using, they all contain "tackling"

True, but even if we didn't have that I still see no cutting edge to England's attack. When we do get breaks we never back it up.

I think WG and SB have United english and Welsh rugby fans in saying:

We are **** and deserve to lose

Lol. They're just doing their part for world peace

I dont know, some of those England forwards looked a bit gassed, after half time I expect them to pick it up

There isn't a Welsh person alive who would ever say they deserve to lose to the English.

 

[TommiG88]

These 2 teams are fighting for 4th and 5th. Sick of what the RFU has done to English rugby

World peace? Can't have that. Your parentage is of questionable species, etc.

Saints don't like it up them!!!
Saints lost to a really poor form Tigers team but everyone forgets that

You tell us, with all your self confessed foresight it should be a walk in the park.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Premiership teams are flying and the tactics we use for England are just so poor. Plus we select out of form players constantly. SB is just not the man to create a winning team.

This is such a poor wales team and they look better than England.

Let's face it. England aren't the enemy any more. The Irish are

ok let me ask, after the 2nd yellow returned, how energetic have England looked?
