[RWC19 Warm-Up] - England vs Wales

[ratsapprentice]

Lucky not to get a red there. Swinging arm, always high. I thought Ford fell into chest at first so right call but on the replay can see the swing, yellow because of the dip?

Absurd.

 

[Which Tyler]

Not able to watch as I’m flying, but the updating numbers suggesting a classic English 2nd half shitshow...?

Forwards have lost the plot / intensity

 

[ratsapprentice]

Wales grown into the game, England retreated somewhat.

 

[Bluemoon]

Making defence very easy there for England toward the end of that set. No intensity on the attack once it slowed down. Wales looking to grind them down but have to keep thinking of ways to attack.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

We’ve gone from double opensides to double locks on the flanks. Madness.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fords kicking from hand has been...a mixed bag

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

“This must be the tallest combination of English flankers to play for England ever” is very Trump-esque.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Manu or Marchant?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Manu or Marchant?

At 12, Manu.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Surely that’s a red by yesterday’s card?

 

[Rinkadink]

Absurd.

No.

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Surely a shoulder to the head there

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Only just remembered Manu is on the bench - would love to see him and JJ for the last 10

 

[ratsapprentice]

No.

https://laws.worldrugby.org/en/guidelines

Genuinely don’t care what the laws say, it’s an absurdity.

Surely that’s a red by yesterday’s card?

Hmm I think not because it was contact with Moriarty's hip?

 

[Which Tyler]

Fair play the tackler though. Knew immediately, and tried to support - whilst I was shouting penalty for not releasing

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Hope Marchant gets on. Why isn’t EJ giving bench players more game time in a warm-up game?

Ford, Manu, JJ is something I've lusted for in years so we won't get it.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

4 rowers working wonders in the scrum tbf

 

[Which Tyler]

At last we get to see Ford, Manu, JJ.
Pity it hasn't been the staple for the last 4 years
