England also have a dilemma in the back row now.

All worthy of starting....

I agree on your first two sentences, but 'rod our luck'? Really? We were dominant throughout and even if Murray was a little unfortunate to have a try chalked off, I genuinely don't think it would have made much difference.

Oh I'm reffering to the historic victory a few of our trys were quite jammy and lucky bounces. We deserved the victory no doubt.

 

[Jimbo]

It's just the shoulder so far isn't it?

At the moment I think so, concussion issues last time out, I really hope I'm wrong but some players just seem more injury prone than others, especially the ones packing so much power for their size.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

It's kinda hard to know how much of the great performance is because this is a headless thrash welsh side. (Nicky Smith and Reffell apart)

 

[Geordie]

It will be interesting to see if there's a discussion with England and Saints to get Freeman to move to 13 or if he stays on the wing. Or if this was just another show to prove players can play multiple roles.

 

[Jimbo]

It was certainly one of those games England got the bounces of the ball, not sure why anyone is complaining about the try that clearly wasn't, think commentary made a bit of a hash of the explanation if I understood correctly Wales 9 was offside and clearly affected the England play before he knocked it back, until the initial touch from the England player he was offside so not really sure why people think it's less than clear cut.

Underhill should not be written off or forgotten either and Kenningham is just waiting to be picked. If he is, he will step up.

I agree it's a woeful Wales side, but none of Scotland, Ireland or France ripped them like that.

And in Cardiff where they tend to find a different level to away.

Ah I'm a HUGE fan of Kenningham! I actually wonder if his injury has allowed him to bulk up slightly and become better. He absolutely MUST go on the summer tour.

Underhill is off to France isn't he in the summer. I thought that's why they took Pepper of us so nicely.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England have a glut of wingers...

Aye, gone are the days of shoehorning Daly out there


Wait...?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Gonna have to dissolve the senedd after this

 

[Geordie]

Aye, gone are the days of shoehorning Daly out there


Wait...?

And he played very well.

 

[Jimbo]

And he played very well.

Praise for Daly around here isn't allowed.

 

[Wasps92]

Absolutely glorious. Nothing better than putting those Celts in their place.

Lloegyr rhy hawwd.

 

[Geordie]

Praise for Daly around here isn't allowed.

I know. My bad.
But he was very good, has been since he came back in this tournament

 

[TRF_Olyy]

And he played very well.

Don't think he was as good as last week but was well worth his spot

If we want experience in the backline over the summer I'd be happier with him involved than Slade

Agree. I actually think now is the time to move away from Slade. And I think SB has done it.

We have options for the summer tour at 13 now so he's not an essential pick. Id take Daly for the experience, but also that he can cover so many positions.

 

[Jimbo]

I know. My bad.

I've always rated him, he was never anywhere near as bad as some make out, he's been a victim of his own versatility, people seem to forget how good he was at one point and made the lions tour.

 

[Geordie]

Well we all love this result.

But

Once again we got lucky a few times out wide. The central defence is becoming a brick wall but we still have a few issues out wide. Not so clear today but still there. I'm sure the superb coaching team they are, they'll be looking in that ...and the personnel they need to fix it.
