[RWC2023] England vs Chile (23/09/2023)

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Highest tries scored in a single tournament is 7 right?

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Smith would be a fantastic 7's player

 

[TommiG88]

Literally no aerial game or pressure to deal with.

Stop sounding so English

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

This is the problem with matches like this we outclass them by such a huge margin it's hard to really know if people are having a great game or being average. Unless they are stinking up the joint.

Yeah it's hard to tell if a player is good in these games but you can definitely tell when they have been ****. Daly, Stuart and Billy V all been pretty bloody awful.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Nice score.

 

[MattGaff]

"England have arrived at the world cup"

Do the commentators even think?

I thought exactly the same. Just spout words for the sake of spouting

 

[Rugbyfan564]

Out of loop. Please explain?

He has taken the money and moved to France.

Malins had 71 mins vs the worst team in the tournament and did absolutely nothing, as well

 

[ncurd]

Chile should of taken the point where they could they didn't deserve to be nilled today.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Do players get bonuses for scoring tries?

If so Arundell probably just set championship funding back a decade, I hope he's happy

 

[IT157]

Highest tries scored in a single tournament is 7 right?

8 Habana and Lomu I believe.

Most tires in a game was Marc Ellis who got six for the All Blacks against Japan in 1995.

Another edit: Julian Savea also scored 8 in one tournament.

"Great game against Chile Henry, that's why it was so difficult to cut you"

If they do it should be weighted on difficulty of opponent… eg use the rankings

How? Clubs getting bonuses for players doing well individually would be weird.

 

[ThebigARena]

You can't argue with that score . Kept a clean sheet and put 70 points on a team ranked one below Namibia not a bad result at all.

 

[Grizwald]

Racked up a big score, no injuries job done. Having someone with pace and vision in the backfield with Smith was very positive.

 

[Jimbo]

Malins had 71 mins vs the worst team in the tournament and did absolutely nothing, as well

It's a weird one maybe he just isn't good enough at this level or he doesn't fit Englands system, (a bit of both) he was certainly prominent in the prem final which isn't really lesser opposition than today.

 

[IT157]

Good interview with the Chile captain. They were losing to USA and Canada by big scores just a few years ago. So they have made good strides

 

[Duct Tape]

Hard To see how this team beat us in Americas 2 qualifying. At home. Gawd we suck. At least we get free pass to play in 2031.

 

[IT157]

Farrell will take over Wilkinson's points record the next game he plays.
