What fresh hell is this

Think I'd fancy a run down that channel as 40 year old almost functioning back row.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hartley basically calling the coaching staff idiots for not pre-planning who replaces a missing backrower

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Smith on, we score.

Sorted boys

Well, he's got a point.

 

[Reiser99]

Hartley repeating what we said last week. Going down to 14 actually makes them go **** it and play better.

 

[Jimbo]

Highlight of this game as an Englishman is Zebo being wrong with his prediction.

At this point can england just appoint mark mccal? been in england long enough to be considered an englishman. Knows the player base like the back of his hand and actualy plays to players strenghts.

Can england start with 14 though? seems to be the only way they start playing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah, Smith's gone to 15?
That's a bit more exciting tbf

 

[BrokenWing]

Obstruction… play on

 

[Protalus rampart]

We have been caught narrow so many times today

Would be interested to see how he went there tbh, could be like a poundland barret.

He's said a few times he's no interest in coaching international rugby,
Says he loves the day to day of club rugby, developing players etc, wouldn't want the start/stop of international

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is that not forward AF from Aki?

 

[ncurd]

God watching England is such a miserable experiences. Is this how Wales felt pre Gatland?

 

[Groundhog]

100 not done baby

 

[Grizwald]

England have been turned over at will it feels at the breakdown all game.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

99 scams*
