[RWC2023] England vs Japan (17/09/2023)

[Leonormous Boozer]

Earl went in with a fully upright tackle there. Good to see they're learning.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Yeah maybe Itoje shouldn't be calling the lineout

Is it yell clap clap or clap yell clap?

They've learned we can only play when we've got a red card, he's trying to sacrifice himself

 

[Reiser99]

Earl did not look ready for that long throw.

 

[Saintjay]

Our attack is truly shocking...

Couldn't score against 15 blokes shown around by labradors in high viz.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Lemeki at fullback is going to bite Japan on the backside. England should be targeting him aerially and with territorial kicking.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

So when does the rugby start?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

These pitches are shocking

 

[SG59_]

Never seen that before

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Liking the ref so far. Rare.

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

England player hiding his face behind his shirt to avoid the cameras. Brown paper bags for the whole team at full time?

 

[Reiser99]

Bloody football pitches.

 

[Dean Cooperfield-West]

Japanese scrum half is 5'5 - how long until a red card for a high tackle?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah we really need a water break after... absolutely nothing happening for 20 mins

 

[Reiser99]

Yep, agree with Kay, Ludlum definitely lucky not to give away a penalty there.

 

[Wichita]

Pitches shocking, anthems shocking - can never trust the French to organise anything

We even invited the Fijians to entertain et you cannot even say thank you

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

When were we last out of our half?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Uh oh...

 

[Grizwald]

Feels a bit like normal service resumed here. Daft penalties, brain dead decesion making and lacking intensity.

England are sh**e hahaha
