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

[Reiser99]

We are lucky that Japan are spilling it as much as we are, but they at least look more likely to break the gainline.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Was that Steffon Armitage vaping?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The crowd have turned, God bless them

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Mitchell trying to argue he didn't kick away advantage on a completely normal box kick that he screwed up lol

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Literally wtf have they been doing for months on end in camp?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Love the boos. England deserve it. Stupid game plan.

 

[saulan]

What is Mitchell doing?

 

[Reiser99]

Just woke my wife up moaning at that last kick...it's now affecting my marriage!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How many lineouts is that we've lost now? 6 including the two freekicks?

 

[TW27BA]

This is dreadful

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

And another line out shambles.

Kicking practise

"I think I smile a lot," Borthwick replied with one of his lesser-spotted grins.

 

[Reiser99]

What is Mitchell doing?

No one has a ******* clue anymore. It seems Borthwick has read somewhere that kicks win games. He didn't read the bit about kicking well.

 

[Saintjay]

Borthwick will say not far from clicking. Moving forward and learnings.

England look rattled.

Probably took Borthers a while to emphasise they weren't good at anything and it was going to take a long time and be loads of hard work…. No time left for the hard work after that.

Kicking practise

You'd expect them to kick better if that were the case!

 

[Scotty]

What is Mitchell doing?

Thing is you see him for Saints, this is not his normal style of play. He links to run it and play the fast game.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

You'd expect them to kick better if that were the case!

This, you'd think if we were going to make out entire game revolve around kicking, we wouldn't be so **** at the kicking and lineouts...

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

It'd be such a shame if Japan don't win this purely for the fact it's been so bad that we deserve another feel good upset so as not to kill the high earlier.
