Fofana is pure class.

That boys a freak incredible
try of the year? lol

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Ashton didn't want to know.

 

[Jbobo]

Fantastic individual try!!

 

[UlsterRugby2012]

Ashton's defence there is pathetic

 

[irelandfan123]

we should all take a moment of silence to lean back and admire that awesome try (awesome as in awe inspiring not like "awesome dude")

this Ashton chap seems to be unpopular round here.

Indeed.

Well what do you expect when he tackles like that

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Farrell seems to be happier to play the tough man rather then play rugby, he's had a crap 1st half.

 

[irelandfan123]

is she crying?

Everyone seems to be mysteriously not noticing the other 2 or so poor attempts at tackles on Fofana.

I repeat: Lawes at 6 is ridiculous. The backrow balance is all off. Not enough work done at the breakdown. Wood is too tied in with carrying and making hits to do what he does best, and in the end it is Robshaw who is doing most of the work of guarding the ball (quite admirably - best English player on the pitch, but he needs support). Two wingers who can't defend and yet Sharples was dropped for this, even though he's better than both combined at the minute. As I've said before, winning and good performances from most of the pack have papers over the cracks in this England team.

Difference is Aston didn't attempt to tackle him. If that was a tackle attempt then I'm Louis XIV

 

[Draggs]

Lawes tackle stats: 5 made, 4 missed.
Ashton: 2 made, 3 missed.
England tackling: 49/15.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Considering Hartley is supposed to be the better thrower he's having a made. No point in having him on the pitch over Youngs if his lineout isn't better.

Young's, Haskell and Care should come on.


Good job Farrell is accurate from the tee, we've got no right to be ahead.

Hmm, I would say it was as much an attempt as Youngs' first attempts...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

The free kick from Goode, the chasing man who interfered with the catch - Brown wasn't penalized for being offside.

Kicked the ball into his own man ...

Got away with it and a try is scored. You take what you can get.

Bit of a lucky try...ah well!
