England XV vs Barbarians (02/06/2019)

[Rinkadink]

but selecting Sheedy over him at 10 really doesn't make any sense.

We shall see.

Take it you didn't see Sheedy vs Malins during this premiership season?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Brown maybe?

According to care, Wilko told brown (not sure why he would know) that he was still Eddie's preferred 15 but was needing to try out other options.

Dunno how much I believe that but hope it's true

I also hope that's true.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I don't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Between Beaumont, Harrison, Curry, Taylor, Mitchell and Atkinson (and Mallinder) Sale is pretty well represented out there



Annoying that we have to suffer through Nige, though

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Yikes...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

One of the Barbarians was laughably offside there. A good 5m in front of the offside line.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dombrandt rapidly becoming one of my favourite players to watch on the carry

Defensively too. He's just so physical.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've said it before but Bassett is such a strange player - nothing about him screams top level winger but he scores so many damn tries.
Really like him.

Physically aggressive backrowers are the best part of the game, love Harrison too.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Curry all over Slade, think that's the third time he's caught him just as he got the pass

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How was that a Barbarians lineout

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Marler blatantly knocked that on

 

[ratsapprentice]

Hammersley looks like a geography teacher.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Masssive Barbarian knock on ignored...

I get the game is supposed to be a bit of fun but turning a blind eye to the Barbarians blatantly doing stuff gets annoying.

It's why I don't like the Barbarians.

Have them play charity matches, or resign them to the Hong Kong 7s or whatever. These kids are playing for a potential bolter position in the RWC and it's a completely uneven playing field and a referee more interested in bantz than enforcing the laws.

They'll never do that, though, because it's such a money spinner for the blazers (and the players).

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That's outstanding. Marchant looks good.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Love Marchant.

 

[Scotty]

Nice!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good try,

Dombrandt gets through a lot of work - he reminds me of the Du Preez twins, even looks like them a bit.
