England v Wales (women)

Post by Mr Mwenda »

Beating them like they owe money. Commentators seem to think it's more of a game than it is. Sadly, I am unconvinced with Aitcheson at 10. I love the attack from anywhere attitude but it gets the team into trouble often enough.

Mixed one that. Comfortable victors but they'll disappointed that they stopped scoring. Kildunne is cracking to watch.

Have to say that is probably the worst commentating on a rugby match I have ever heard. Extremely biased and often totally inaccurate, even when the ref has explained the decision for everyone to hear!
England still look a bit rusty and nowhere near as accurate as they were last year but as Mitchell says, they are working on a whole new way of playing.

Kildunne is an amazing finisher, defender and creator for her teammates. Having her, Dow, Breach and Rowlands in the backline with either Heard or Jones will be some skill, pace and power!

Had to watch with the sound down. Was unfortunate enough to have heard "AND. WALES. HAVE. WON. THE. LINEOUT!!!!" for a simple 2- ball.

Not everything is hugely exciting, all the time. Stop trying to inject jeopardy when there is none. Try identifying simple rules (and which player is which) instead.

The kit was frankly awful too.

Enjoyed the game, apart from that.

When people talk about 'unseen work's, 're-watch' the game and see the work Alex Matthews gets through with barely a mention in commentary.
