England vs Japan - 12/11/22

[AlRums]

Lesson there for Farrell, play to the whistle

 

[ncurd]

Took a long time to blow the whistle there.....

Nkt faulting the long advantage just he should of blown earlier it was clear Japan weren't doing anything.

 

[Jimbo]

May wouldn't be my first choice on the wing, there is however something reassuring about having an out and out winger with pace over a utility player who 'can play wing'

 

[AlRums]

Great spotting the gap

 

[ncurd]

Not shaping out to be Japan's day early doors.

 

[Reiser99]

Great pass by Smith, put Steward perfectly into the hole.

Can we finally accept (and by we I mean EJ) that Youngs is too slow and just holds back the England attack.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Was definitely sceptical about May's arm but he's full of confidence and it doesn't look like it's playing on his mind

 

[ncurd]

Should bring on Mako to even up the scrum.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Just use the ball you pricks

 

[Reiser99]

So watching Finn Russell makes Flats twice as hard.

Think that classifies as too much information.

EJ be like, It's all part of the 4 year project mate, cripple Englands attack with Youngs at 9, then come WC time unleash descent 9s and see the attack free.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Steward has grown so much in the last 12 months

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Steward has grown so much in the last 12 months

Why? what height was he last year?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why? what height was he last year?

5'9

Does he weave and side step like this for Leicester, certainly never noticed it as prominently as today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Nice offload from Joe C but a more pedantic ref would've called him for playing the ball on the floor - clearly presented it then brought it back then passed

 

[Reiser99]

Steward looking good today. Unfortunately Japan don't look like they can put any pressure on England. They really need to start fast and put the opposition under pressure. England can start to relax and play more confidently now.

Has a player ever been pinged for that?

 

[Geordie]

Porter looks lost

 

[ncurd]

Japan scrum half has gone for the throw it backward into the scrum and quickly got grab it. He should be pinged really making a mockery of never straight.
