Ireland v England - 19 August 2023

[Wasps92]

**** me sideways that's the best set move we can conjure up off a scrum. ******* embarrassing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Daly's kickchase isn't good enough considering how much we kick

I wasn't keen on May being in the RWC training squad but if this is how we're playing he shouldve been retained and should be starting

 

[Reiser99]

WHY WHY WHY do we keep ******* kicking it. It's the worst tactics.

 

[higgik]

England still look like they can't communicate and have no idea in attack.

There is a real lack of timing. Just seen Watson almost overrunning the scrum as it took so much time for Youngs to decide what the move was.

Surely, the move off 1st phase should be known.

 

[Wasps92]

STOP ******* kicking it you prick.

None of the England players try and catch them anymore. They just flap at it and hope it falls back.

Exactly, Watson nearly overrun the scrum so poor was the timing and communication.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England look like they've exclusively trained the defensive line out

 

[Reiser99]

It's only been 30 minutes...England just make any game boring.

That is why he plays as 23, 13 or 15 for Sarries.
Would move him to 15 and Lawrence to 12.

 

[Jashay]

Why would you get Daly to kick that? It's not like it's out of Ford's range.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England look like they've trained

I disagree

 

[Wasps92]

Imagine cutting Mercer from the squad to pick that useless twat.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Jeez….

 

[Reiser99]

Hartley can see what they're trying to achieve. Good for him, I can't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I like this ref so far, he's probably been the best man on the pitch all told

 

[Scotty]

One thing that really annoyed me is Billy earlier shot out of the line and missed the tackle, but it was made by another player so the option wasnt bad really...then he stood up and slowly walked back to the line. No urgancy at all

 

[higgik]

Maybe we shold come out in Sarries kit for 2nd half.
Seems that all those players are scared to play and look like lost sheep out there.

 

[Reiser99]

Those are the scrum penalties that should be changed. The scrum was stable, get them to use it or free kick at best. Shouldn't be allowed to keep it in to try and force a penalty.

Ross ain't it
