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

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Is anyone hating on it?

Argh I don't know I'm wasted

If Farrell is actually any good, can someone please show me a highlight real or what he actually does?

All I see him do is average passes and the occasional pass behind. Nothing better than Stephen myler or anyone of that ilk produced week in week out.

Just look at his winners medals instead

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

Maybe it also depends on the opposition.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

I am uninspired

Forgot Cole was playing

Pre-game some people were not exactly happy about it were they.

 

[Reiser99]

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

Just to continue with my negativity, but he took 18 more games beat him, so Wilkinson still better!

Yay let's keep pooping on Farrell just because!

That's a stupid argument. Alex Goode has one as well as do 33 other sarries players.

You've got your Faz beer goggles on. He always plays like peak Dan Carter when I'm smashed.

Didn't say he was better than Wilkinson....

Said he one of the greatest England players. Not the greatest England player.

Yeah, but I'm committed now to finding any flaw possible.

 

[Rinkadink]

England miles offside a couple of times now. They need to be careful.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great try, some brilliant bits of play working up the field

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Nice try Samoa.

 

[IT157]

Very nice by Samoa.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah but that's not what we're talking about though, we're talking about during the game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How's he got that but fluffed the significantly easier one, ha

 

[Reiser99]

Excellent try.

England still miss or fall off too many tackles though. Defence can't be a 80-90% stat it has to be 95%+

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Yeah but that's not what we're talking about though, we're talking about during the game

Let's judge it after the game and take into account the opposition. Anything can look great vs tier 2 teams.

There's a. Interesting stat on the rugby pass match stat page of kicksass ratio

In the Arg game eng had a kickass ratio of 1:1.8

Currently in this game it stands at 1:1.58 earlier it was 1:10.7

If Farrell's so good why are England so ****
