Eng v SA Match thread

[Mellsblue]

I'd definitely take Ford off, move Farrell to FH and Tuilagi to IC. Spencer? Could not be worse than Youngs.

All irrelevant if we can’t win the battle/gain parity in the forwards.

Agreed, to an extent but our kicking is so bad when we get the ball that we are constantly having to win it back. If we kicked less and better, we would not be so exposed in the forward arm-wrestle.

The scrum needs sorting now the ref has decided everything is our fault.

So, you want to sort our kicking out by taking off our best kicker?

[Banquo]

Kruis for Lawes?

[Mellsblue]

Yep.

[Banquo]

Christ on a bike

[Mellsblue]

Too many panicked passes.

[Lizard]

2 accurate passes and you’ve have been round the outside there. Instead you got 2 shit ones. Basic skills.

[Adam_P]

Lawes off is an error

[Beasties]

Indeed.

[Lizard]

Boks rolling the subs early. Dominate before we go uncontested.

[Galfon]

No contest..

[Spy]

This scrum situation is remarkable.

[Banquo]

Mako stuffed that time, but it’s the power coming through we aren’t matching

[canta_brian]

Surely clean possession and 20 yards territory is advantage over?

I would quite like to see a pen for crawling along the ground after the tackle has been made.

Me too. Haven’t been given in years though, unless you try to score a try at the end of crawling, then it’s double movement.

I think that what attacking teams are doing on the ground after the tackle has become an issue in general in the last few years.

[Freddo]

Injury to Sinckler has been a disaster.

[Banquo]

Tricky to sort this

[Lizard]

2 accurate passes and you’ve have been round the outside there. Instead you got 2 shit ones. Basic skills.

Indeed.

Looks like a different team from last week.

[twitchy]

Game over.

[Galfon]

Eng 6 - 15 SA 46 mins. Pen Pollard

[Banquo]

Can’t see this ending well at the mo

[Mellsblue]

I’d be bring Wilson on for Curry.

[Freddo]

Iceman needs to get his team going. It's now or never Owen. You may even be rated on Rugby Rebels if you do.

Not in this game, he's not.

[Beasties]

How tf did Garces conclude that was pen to SA at that scrum? Staggering.

[Oakboy]

Agreed. We are losing in every facet of the game. Jones has to change something.

[Lizard]

You can’t win from here. I hope Owen goes full red-face and just plum smacks Faf right in the snozz.
