England vs Fiji 26th August 23

Hahahaha.

Too slow, too slight

If playing Ford or Smith, we dont need the extra playmaker. Their vision is better than Farrell.
This is the issue, Ford and Smith need completely different styles of backlines to Farrell.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Well he missed the tackle as well

Nah he made the tackle. 14 just managed to get the offload away first.

 

[higgik]

So will be interesting if they are told to play in the kicking stupid way or the smart attacking way when they come out.

Also wonder if England reverted to type or if they were told to change their style by some brain dead coach.

Hmmmm

My thoughts exactly.
When I think of Sanderson, he has a structure, buts trusts the players to make decisions on the pitch.
This team seem to be thinking 'what does the coach want'

Rucks are a mess, Fiji just flying in off feet and from the side and the ref waving it off

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Way off feet there, literally on both forearms and his feet were even off the floor when the first clearout came in

 

[Jimbo]

England have put huge training time into capitalising on getting points from entering the 22 all week, really…..

Refs doing his level best to help England

Literally the opposite, but ok

Peyper gonna Peyper...

I mean this ref is always rubbish but England tactically are just so poor.

 

[higgik]

still laughable to me all the slating Daly got at-least he was slick when England were on form going forward, outside of catching what does FS actually offer kick return especially in an unpressurised situation should be a given for a FB.

Exactly the recent points being made.

He needs to add much more to his game than being a safe option under a box kick.
Would rather Daly, Freeman or Arundell and get tge attacking benefits.
Just look in 2003, Robinson was known for his attack, even though his catching was good.

Yeah we're terrible, just makes it an even more frustrating watch

 

[TommiG88]

Marler, first touch and in the bin?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Christ, it's come to something when they're resorting to Wonderwall to create some atmosphere

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Wonderwall during the injury break. Really?

 

[AlRums]

Fiji robbed of momentum there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Players look as interested in the game as the fans

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

He was milking that for a head contact penalty 100%

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hahahahahaha

Great try
