England v Barbarians June 19th 2022

[Epaminondas Pules]

Just the score. Seems grim. No bright lights for England?

Coka and Freeman looking lively. Smith has been good that last kick aside.

[Banquo]

cuchinderhill need to get to breakdowns. Ewels invisible, hill lacks games.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Collier off already? Weird.

[Epaminondas Pules]

TH hinges again and nothing.

[Banquo]

really struggling at breakdowns. why take collier off?

[Which Tyler]

Oh F.
Coka hobbling there

[Danno]

Randall's passing is rank

[Banquo]

soz bit behind

[Epaminondas Pules]

Couple of proper ropey passes from Randall and then a great kick from Smith!

[Banquo]

Randall's passing is rank

yep.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Nice break from Penaud!

[Banquo]

Nice break from Penaud!

did atkinson like a kipper. Coka crocked

[Epaminondas Pules]

Took him on the outside very easily.

[Mellsblue]

That’s a red.

[Mellsblue]

Nice break from Penaud!

did atkinson like a kipper.

He didn’t need to do much, sadly.

[p/d]

Gawd .. Atkinson is poor and Exeter haircuts comical

[Banquo]

nice from smith n freeman

[francoisfou]

Did Skelton really deserve red there? There was nothing malicious and was surely an accidental split-second rugby incident?

[Danno]

I think you're all very mean about Atkinson, he's got a great all round skill set, with both playmaking and boshing abilities. He's like a much, much less good Ma'a Nonu.

*comedy trombone noises*

[p/d]

That’s a red.

Barbarians down to 14 and we have Atkinson. Tough to call.

[Banquo]

prescient of eddie to sub collier.

[Danno]

You're kidding right?

[Mellsblue]

Nailed on red under current laws, IMO.

I couldnt disagree more. He lined up Schickerling and put the shoulder in quite deliberately. There was no attempt to wrap or to lower his tackle height. It was nasty, dangerous shot that totally deserved a red.

[Which Tyler]

Did Skelton really deserve red there?

Yes.
100% Yes.



Atkinson and Randall really playing themselves out of future contention.
No idea what zcolkier did wrong to be removed, unless we were aiming for the patented French THP ploy
