Ex England Scrum Coach + Current england tighthead

Just got mullered

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Marler is a crap loosehead though, just ask Gatland

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Doubt Mitchell is gonna be over the moon with the defences on show

 

[Reiser99]

What a pass out wide

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That pass was unreal

I agree, but do you think that normal attack in the Prem is very predictable due to playing safe.
This year no relegation, so teams more willing to be more expansive, and therefore more difficult to defend.
Not saying that one out tackling should be as bad as it is though

 

[Rinkadink]

Spencer was so selfish there. Goodness.

 

[Reiser99]

I would have bet money on that being forward...camera angles

I don't think so,
I've not seen any difference in play style with no relegation tbh


Game to forget from the tee for Smith - just cementing Farrell's spot in the England squad in EJs side

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wonder if Smith will get the label Ford did with his kicking at Bath

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ojomoh is VERY good

 

[Jimbo]

Dombrant consistently runs great lines he has some bulk but offers a nice combination of both, would be good to see him go into the England camp.

If that's the case, it'll be hugely undeserved and totally inaccurate. Yes, he had an off day today, but there's a reason he's the top points scorer in the league. His kicking is normally very reliable.

Ojomoh is VERY good

I thought he threw a worldly of a pass for one of the tries, but was otherwise pretty poor.

Farrell's poor days off the tee just get ignored ...

I mean you could argue his goal kicking lost the last game v Tigers also. (Would be harsh but he missed 3 cons)

Hence me saying in EJs side

Everyone with eyes knows Farrell's kicking is nothing special, but EJ doesn't trust anyone else with the tee

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Never heard of this ref before but I'm impressed

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tommy Reffell winning Tigers the game with his 6 turnovers all pretty much in dangerous positions

Really?
I thought he had a good game, especially considering it was his first start (I think they said?)
