England v Wales

[elgringoborracho]

Wales are clueless in attack but superb in defense

 

[King_D'Arcy]

this is another shocker so far

 

[Olyy]

I thought under the new rules you have to allow the player to play the ball?
Flood was only holding on then because Powell held his arms over floods so he couldn't release :S


3 - 3

+1 Terrible game from a neutral. Ping pong rugby is ****, and this is bad ping pong rugby

 

[Olyy]

I'm enjoying it, but as you said, for a neutral would be boring to watch.


England scrum gone to pots now, but not Paynes side, oddly enough


AWJ in the bin for tripping!
6 - 3
England should hopefully exploit the 1 man difference now

Englands oppurtunity to get a try here[/b]

Im sure it will open in the second half.

 

[elgringoborracho]

Since when has Lee Byrne become so average under the high balls? Wasn't it one of his qualities ?

Yeah, him and Kearney are, arguably, two of the best 15s in rugby atm, but both have had average to poor games (so far, Byrne could pick up in the second half)

 

[Olyy]

Haskell with a try!
Converted:

Halftime:
England 13 - 3 Wales

 

[Meh]

Come on Wales.

It's the same old story so far - errors, bad line-outs and missed penalties.

 

[shtove]

Very impressed with some of England's driving in the rucks. Mean machine. Did well to score before halftime, and if they are the real deal they'll score another before AWJ comes back on.

Payne doing well. A few weeks ago I thought I was beginning to understand the scrum. Still clueless.

Powell is mixed - in the space of a few minutes he offloaded nicely then knocked on in contact.

One last thing - that knee to Yawny's chest was vicious. Rolland said something about it, but I guess he didn't have a direct view.

 

[Olyy]

I think England made that last try harder for themselves than they needed: a four man overlap on the right wing, with the nearest defender under the posts, could have just had Cueto run it in easily,

But either way, i'm happy


I think Powells doing well, he's forced a penalty, not offloaded into any England players hands, and only got involved in one (almost) scrap

 

[Bernard]

strong defense from wales but quite poor offensivly for now . England deserves the win for now IMO as they missed 2 times tries before their try . too much of ping pong as well.

i'm enjoying the game Overall

 

[Olyy]

Danny Care try!


I think care is my MOTM so far, made some good breaks, produced some good quick ball, and just got a try


20 - 3

Yup Care is very impressive. Wales on the other hand are shocking

 

[Olyy]

Weak penalty that!
Borthwick was well within his right to go for Cooper then!


Payne now messing up the scrum



Adam Jones try!
I like Adam Jones so i don't begrudge him that

20 - 10

 

[Meh]

Mon the Hairbear!

 

[elgringoborracho]

I spoke too soon, very good Welsh action and Adam Jones try!

 

[Olyy]

Tim Payne off his feet giving away a penalty, and probably more points =/

 

[roscommon guy]

I'fancy Wales to win. They want to play positive rugby
