England Vs Barbarians match thread 27th May 2018

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Robshaw's lack of pace and power on display.

Well, and tackling the wrong part of the man.

Mercer attempting to bring some pride back to the shirt...

Gustard leaves and all the players forget how to defend.

Doesn't he leave after the SA tour?

Gustard leaves and all the players forget how to defend.

He's not left yet.

Robshaw's lack of pace and power on display.

Nice to see the Barbarians upholding the spirit of open, expansive, flowing rugby. Shame the England side are helping them by tackling shadows.....

 

[ratsapprentice]

Getting hammered.

 

[TommiG88]

This is bad haha

 

[big ginger 8]

I'm embarrassed for England. This is a weird feeling.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

JESUS. This really isn't miles away from a first choice side England side.

Gustard leaves and all the players forget how to defend.

*Gustard announces he's a Quin and forgets how to rugby

 

[Big_Grumper]

Getting hammered.

The Saffers must be ******** themselves.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

JESUS. This really isn't miles away from a first choice side England side.

Well, it is...
But yeah, no excuse.
This is exactly what we need.

 

[curtbob7]

Appalling. We have two centres on the pitch and neither of them can tackle.

 

[TommiG88]

These players aren't helping themselves...

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Well, it is...
But yeah, no excuse.
This is exactly what we need.

Is it? Marler 2nd choice, Sinckler maybe 1st, Launchbury a regular starter, Robshaw regular starter, Curry many people's first choice, Youngs 1st choice, Ford 1st choice, May, Daly and Brown regular starters...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Appalling. We have two centres on the pitch and neither of them can tackle.

Yeah, annoying though since Francis' first tackle was banging

 

[Reiser99]

This is pathetic...

 

[ratsapprentice]

The barbarians attack always makes me wonder why teams don't use "trick" plays more often. They actually work relatively consistently.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That maul was horrendous
