Ireland v England - 19 August 2023

[ncurd]

This is ******* dirge, hope Ireland wake up and put is to the sword.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Deec

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

The length of time he took, think he was struggling and then went to the standard 'Manu is making good metres'.

 

[big ginger 8]

Would have kept that hidden for the WC.

Freddie Steward's 3 cone time is 20 years.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Too easy.

 

[Wasps92]

Ringrose in acres of space.

 

[Reiser99]

Well played. Get England in and just get your kick right.

 

[Protalus rampart]

There is no desire or fight in this England team. Just lazy with every being done in such a half arsed manner

Pretty how it's been for a while. No improvement from last week. Same crap tactics, same poor defence, same one dimensional attack, same old crap.

Ireland being rusty is only thing stopping a cricket score right now.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Think the most impressive thing about the Irish side is how the structure is built exactly to suit the players that they have. Got a former 10 on the wing? Get him out the back sending beautiful cross field kicks. When have we bothered to do the same with Malins?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Manu genuinely playing pretty well, so that's something
Think he enjoys playing rugby too much to stick to a gameplan, just goes out there to do what he wants to do

 

[TommiG88]

Watching England. I've never been less excited for a rugby World Cup. We are utter gash.

[Which Tyler]

So, how's the whole "Billy's the only #8 we need" thing going?

Other than laziness and knock-ons, I'm not seeing what he offers that TWillis and ZMercer don't

Exactly, for Sarries that would happen.
Daly would also be kicking into deep space from 2nd pass as an option.
Seems everything must be done by 9/10.
No variety, no one looking at the opposition.

 

[Reiser99]

Glad at least Earls isn't sugar coating it about England.

 

[McTallshort]

Say it how it is Simon

 

[Reiser99]

Oh yeah Zebo, not Earls, my bad.

 

[McTallshort]

Zebo?

Well they can catch the ball and complete tackles, which obviously isn't what we're interested in
