How Ewels gets picked over Chessum and Isiekwe will drive me crazy come RWC

Honestly
4. Isiekwe
5. Chessum

Could be a tasty combo in the future both 6ft 8 Chessum more athletic and Isiekwe more brutal

 

[Grizwald]

Isweke has made a few dominant tackles since he came on.

For his rugby brain

Oh dear gods.
Aussie commentator "that's Mako Vunipola, he's some scrummager, one of the greats, plays for the Saracens club"

 

[Grizwald]

Smith has given a lot of defensive yards. Ford isn't a big lad but seems to keep in and ride hit from the offensive player.

Argument to have penalty go other way there IMO. Not sure ref has helped either side.

Ford typically gives a metre in the tackle, but gets his man down.
Smith (today) seems to give a metre in the tackle, then fall off the tackle, and someone else has to make it (unless it's Porter, who requires a 3rd England player)

Exactly

Ben Youngs to start the autumnal AI's.

Ford had similar issues earlier in his career as well tbf, hopefully Smith improves
TBF the fact that he's not afraid to get stuck in is good - it's better than Cipriani was early in his career and would literally move out of the way of players to avoid having to tackle

Hill at 13

 

[Derpus]

Gutless picks won't win any fans back with this dire performance.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lawes man of the series, for me, been so so good at the breakdown

 

[TommiG88]

JVP with his only mistake, popped to Arundel and it's a try

 

[Grizwald]

Ah a fine end.

Aus are **** England are less s@it.

I jest, a tour win is a tour win. Thought England showed a bit of dog and desire to turn that around.

Got a look at some young talent , who got the experience. Lots to do.

Spared us all a summer of Arundell love in

A] He really didn't. He had a few matches where his dad wanted him to hit high, and changed his tackle technique. Then Hughes batted him aside a few times, and he went back to soaking his tackles and getting his man down. His reputation was never aligned to his reality there.

B] Yes. "It's better to be present with 10 men, than absent with 1,000"
Even Cips was braver than Harry Mallinder though

Will Greenwood saying we're not as good as winning a series suggests and it's masking our performances
Swear he just gets his material from my posts on here
