[RWC19 Warm-Up] - England vs Wales

[TRF_Olyy]

Another missed throw/not hitting the target for LCD.

This can't be true, I've repeatedly been told he's excellent in the lineout

 

[Which Tyler]

Flapped and missed his man on the outside on one of those linebreaks . Haven't seen much else. Mayhap a little harsh of me.

Was that the one where he was defending a 2 on 1, got the carrier and kept his feet (albeit the winger was past)?
Or have I missed one with my white stream?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I've missed JJ

 

[Bluemoon]

Considering this is arguably our weakest front 5 they are making hay against Wales' first choice scrum

The set piece is one of the major issues with the welsh game. That was also the case in the 6N. Rob Evans is being wrapped in cotton wool I think because he’s the bedrock.

 

[ncurd]

I've missed JJ

Aye

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can we delay naming our squad tomorrow?
Like is that set in stone?

EJ should bring Ben Curry in ASAP to deputise for Tom in case that shoulder is bad

The actual deadline is almost a month away; 8th Sept. Naming the team tomorrow is 100% Eddie.

God that's a laughable defensive line out.

LCD can catch lineouts though.

 

[Bluemoon]

Ahh I hate that I commentator cursed them with that. Nice little reminder to the coaches that we need to work on the set piece.

 

[NickBD]

LCD better at catching line outs the throwing them.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Genuinely awful lineout call and execution

I don't understand why Ben wasn't included from the start if EJ is now looking to go with dual 7s anyway. Ben is the 2nd best flanker in the country.

 

[Bluemoon]

Genuinely awful lineout call and execution

Not sure why they are hitting back ball there. Wasn’t a need for it.

 

[Rinkadink]

Love that everything about that line out absolutely clowned Stuart Barnes.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Which of his throws today has been bad?

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Once Ludlam was held, he's the fullback's or blind wing's man

I understand, but that wasnt my point. There were several missed tackles that put daly in that position. It wasn't as if he reacted late or something.

4/5 so far and the lost L/O WAS good intercept. But dont let the truth get in the way of perpetuating a myth..
Listening on the radio?

If you're gonna trial new exit patterns I guess meaningless warm up games are the best time to do it, but yikes!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

The perception is still there that LCD’s throwing is inconsistent. This match so far has not put those doubts to bed imo. This match isn’t even a pressure match. Come the last 20 mins of a RWC match when the match needs to be put to bed and LCD comes on to throw? Still won’t inspire me with any confidence.

It was just a joke man.
