[Natwest 6 Nations] Round 4 : France Vs England (10/03/2018)

[munstermuffin]

The other side of the coin. Good to see France back and the sense of you don't know what/who the **** will turn up for them.... Good or bad

 

[Jimbo]

This is awful, sack ford off he is **** bring nothing at the moment, Farrell to 10, Tualangi at 12 and Daly at 13, sourt out this toilet breakdown too.

Maybe this will force changes at last....

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England don't have an international class 10, Ford is a better player than Farrell there but nowhere near physical enough, Farrell turns his backline pedestrian from there.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Much better now our forwards are actually being physical.

 

[Jimbo]

I forgot how **** our bench was from an impact perspective....

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Was hoping Slade would be the 12 answer but he has been really poor playing there for England.

Wish Devoto was starting at Exeter.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Agree except for the idea that Ford isn't even International class.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Another turnover. You going to finally pay attention to this issue Jones or ******* ignore it again? You going to rotate the squad and stop overplaying your favourites or not?

We always knew he was incredibly stubborn but whilst England were winning it was less of a problem. I can see a very frustrating year for England fans on that front while EJ does all he can to change nothing.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

As much as I hate watching this, its good to see EJ continue to be proven wrong about the breakdown and it will be interesting to see how long he tries to insist that hes right.

It's funny how he initially placed a lot of importance on it and even brought in George Smith as a specialist breakdown coach.
Then Smith left and he's said "**** it" and just crossed it out on his list of things to look at.


I hope to God our youngsters don't get their breakdown nous coached out of them in pursuit of England caps (in the way that Tait had his career ruined by England telling him to bulk up loads, losing his acceleration/agility and taking several years to regain form).

Ford looks **** because the pack are being slapped around like Little *****es. Aside from Robshaw the pack are not performing

 

[ncurd]

18 penalties and how many for holding on you have to wonder...

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Robshaw was supporting his bodyweight with his head there - farcical penalty to award us

 

[McTallshort]

Robshaw keeping England in the game again

 

[The5thOfficial]

You're either incredibly thick, or an 8 year old - potentially both. I already said we were playing badly, I never said anything else, just that it has nothing to do with aura.

Hey, if you insult, you need to expect it back at ya! LOL!

 

[stus768]

Sooo Robshaw is our best breakdown forward....

 

[Jimbo]

England don't have an international class 10, Ford is a better player than Farrell there but nowhere near physical enough, Farrell turns his backline pedestrian from there.

Another Farrell hater clearly, forgot the European powerhouse that has been sarrys has been lead by such an awful 10....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What is wrong with our last passes?

3 on 2 and Teo throws the ball almost vertical to allow France time to drift across

 

[ncurd]

2006 was the last time we lost 3 matches in a tournament desperately need a try here for us not be heading that way.

Some of that's true but he hasn't been good for a while, is it conisidence that Leicester have played better in his absence than they have all season?
