England vs Wales - 12/08/23

[Jimbo]

Didn't look like much in the way of arms used in that tackle on Daly just shoulder charge to the back.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Its so nice to see England picking their best scrummaging front row for once!

And a lineout that functions

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Looks like this week is Wales chance to get away with forward passes.

 

[Jimbo]

Wales moaning about the knock on lucky it wasn't a pen Tomkins picked it up a second time to place it further back, smart move would be to accept the knock on and not get it looked at further.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I hate that surface level punditry of "He's got X caps off the bench HOW HAS HE NEVER STARTED", ignoring that the last few years have seen us have insane depth at 7 with Curry, Underhill and Willis (and Ludlam)

 

[AlRums]

Kicked away for no real reason

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Don't praise Daly for that, it was a crap option and crap execution

 

[big ginger 8]

If Daly's boot is meant to be a plus point he's not demonstrating it today.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

And there's the fumble we have been waiting for.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Lmao who bought a dummy from OF

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

What does Adam Beard actually do on the pitch. He missed that tackle

 

[McTallshort]

That was nearly 2 completed scrums!

 

[AlRums]

Wales getting very lucky here, their scrum is appalling

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Losing the ball like that should be an immediate subbing for a backrower

 

[Ferrari333SP]

England looking much better than last week

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England looking much better than last week

In terms of not dropping the ball, sure
I reserve judgement on the rest for a bit longer because we ran one or two decent moves in the first half last week

 

[Protalus rampart]

If Daly's boot is meant to be a plus point he's not demonstrating it today.

It's a point for the entire England team at the moment. All their kicks seem so pre meditated and they can't execute them well enough because every team can see it coming

 

[Jimbo]

Until something actually starts to click I'm not going to call much an improvement, unforced knock ons and cheap turning the ball over continues to hinder everything.

 

[AlRums]

Generous advantage

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Generous advantage

Not entirely, considering we only went backwards the entire time. Considering this is the most capped England side ever vs a scratch Welsh side at home, this is ******* pathetic.
