[RWC2023] England vs Samoa (07/10/2023)

[General Melchett]

Farrell has kept his place for longer than he should have due to past reputation, getting special treatment as captain, lack of alternatives, lack of bottle from coaches to drop him. All these have all helped him earn more caps than he should have. Even Gatland was daft enough to bring him on the Lions tour to SA while he was in poor form. Sexton should have gone instead.

Personally think it's an insult to the good name of dogshit.

Even worse kick

Say what you like about Chessum - he's not having a quiet game

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

okay, after watching the two Farrell anti-tribute videos I now love him almost as much as biggar.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I could guarantee that even if Farrell missed 5 kicks, he still wouldn't let Ford taking over kicking duties.

Typical arrogant English players

Hopefully everyone lives Chessum?

Lovely passing by Farrell. Proving again he is one of England's best players.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

so Samoa need a BP win and an ARG-Japan draw with no bonus points to advance?

Woooo 1 pass!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

IMO Ford-Faz-Tuilagi axis is working well. People hating on it because they wanted to hate on it.

 

[IT157]

Woooo 1 pass!

He was key in setting up the try as well

Terrible kick for the conversion though

[TRF_Olyy]

Is anyone hating on it?

 

[Reiser99]

Tbh England are kicking far less than previously in the opponents half. Maybe they've learnt?

 

[Rinkadink]

Farrel offers no real threat from 12, it really shows as he predictably ships on to the outside runner. He should be at 10 only unless an emergency.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Woooo 1 pass!

when's the last time England completed a pass?

IMO Ford-Faz-Tuilagi axis is working well. People hating on it because they wanted to hate on it.

theoretically it should always work. it's just 1. Manu's health 2. Farrell's health 3. Farrell not being suspended 4. forwards who want to get involved

 

[IT157]

Congratulations to Farrell. Incredible achievement. One of England's greatest players.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Working hard to get the right players into the right positions?

Jamie George was nearest that chip through in the opposition's 22 FFS.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Just the **** in the middle

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Hopefully the last we hear of the record
