England XV vs Barbarians (19/06/2022)

[Leonormous Boozer]

Lol

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Also lol @ the worst attacking England side in a decade+ playing more barbarians rugby than the barbarians

 

[JG-21]

ffs, get him off

 

[Jimbo]

Sucks that red card but clearly no other choice, was about to say that's probably ruined it as a sceptical, after that who knows.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Oh look, another complete lapse of concentration when we had a huge overlap.... Standard England.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Jesus christ Mark.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jesus Christ

 

[Geordie]

Skelton lacking a Brain.

England should win easily now.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Remember the calls for Atkinson for the 6Nations

 

[Geordie]

Spoke to soon.

 

[TommiG88]

Atkinson is doing well to play himself into the England squad for Aus

 

[Reiser99]

Atkinson having a poor game

 

[Scotty]

Atkinson having a shocker, so glad we have centre cover on the bench..oh wait.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That is a stinker

 

[Rinkadink]

Who for England has been good?

Freeman has made a good account of himself, Underhill been decent and Curry okay. Big Joe C hadn't done much wrong and finished well, England been lacking that physical presence for a while.

 

[Reiser99]

Seems like very little remorse from Skelton. Hope the citing officer looks at those clips too.

 

[Rinkadink]

Barnes be like no dominate force therefore Yellow card

Honestly if there was any consistency in how officials deal with head contact in latter part of season that would be 100% yellow.

Yeah it was more a few players being singled out Curry knocked on just before I said it Rodd scrummaging issues, most players either playing ok or poorly, Smith and Big Joe aside not sure anyone in a England shirt has really put there hand up.

Atkinson has well and truly played himself out of an England shirt going forwards I would think.

 

[Which Tyler]

Atkinson and Randall playing themselves out of future contention.
May showing the hard work he always puts in, and Coka showing why he's a threat, even when struggling for form.

Smith with superb skills and vision to do things himself, less so for game management and anything more than 10m from his channel.

No idea what Collier did wrong to be removed unless we really were going for the patented French THP ploy - but happy to be corrected by a front-rower. Equally, happy to take others' word on Rodd.

No-one else really standing out, good or bad so far.


At 12 - bring Bailey on for the 2nd half, and accept that this is Farrell's best game there for England.

 

[Scotty]

Feel so bad for Schickerling first game and ended quickly because of Skelton
