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

Three scrum penalties and the BP try

I wonder, with the number of players in this squad that are off to French teams afterwards, if there's so sort of agreement being put in place for international release.

I hope not

Comment from BBC website. I'm sorry but what a silly comment considering the team is drastically different and Farrell is playing well conversions aside.

"England maybe just aren't very good and worse for having Farrell back in the side?
Eddie"

Yeah that's one guy I couldn't give a ****. Farrells has been fine this match but I'd expect this from Ford or Smith.

I also agree with the previous post we should of got a BP long before now.

Malins and Daly aren't on the same page as any other player on the pitch, both just completely headless

******* Daly...

Those 2 have been the worst 2 on the pitch

Care not having a good game either.

To be fair, our wings aren't used to playing in the same games as the rest of the team.

I'm not sure a lot of what they are doing has looked poor, however it feels like if it clicks it could make a real difference, it's mostly only slightly off and could potentially lead to the spectactular.

Lots of negativity on this forum…decent first half from England

 

[whocaresaboutthetruth]

Brilliant from smith

 

[IT157]

Okay that was very nice by Smith!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beauty,

Guarantees Smith won't play for England again though

 

[Ferrari333SP]

To be fair to Chile, they're a few levels up in quality from either Romania or Namibia, so its not that crazy its taken England this long to get a BP

 

[Scotty]

Out of everything id say Dan is coming out with credit, hitting his lineouts, scrum going well. But has a try, try assist, a turnover and generally looked a handful ball in hand.

It's gotten better since the first try, but it was really awful for the first 20 mins.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Yeah Farrell could totally do that.

Gassed Malins as well. What is the point of him.

He kicked it didn't he?

 

[Saintjay]

That new short fall back looks ok.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah but he retained possession which is a big no no
