The quick lineout for their try does make me wonder why we never seem to have clever ideas.

On the bright side it could be worse, could be Welsh. Not too bad from a relatively young, inexperienced England team. Bodes well for the World Cup after next.

For the last x years England have only looked good with Tuilagi in the side.
On the plus side this team has some pretty impressive handling. But it’s lateral.

Yep, was going to post that Slade and Daly were kicking through just like Farrell, ie good kicks but a poor choice, but the analysts brought it up. That said, has it been tactics influencing Farrell or Farrell influencing tactics?Oakboy wrote:Maybe, just maybe, it's not all Farrell's fault then?p/d wrote:Aye.Mellsblue wrote:Heads up rugby is a good idea.

Just waiting to George Ford to come on, and single-handedly rescue England, only for Daly to be given all the plaudits for kicking it away on overlaps, and Ford to never see another cap.

Better play. A few more penalty spells like that the Scots will go down a player.
