England vs SA

[Stom]

Honestly… the fact we’re still in this is something. It’s not been terrible, it’s just that some players have been. Honestly, Genge has been poor, JvP pretty terrible, and Laurence awful. Steward is fine so long as he doesn’t need to defend…which isn’t ideal for a FB.

We’ve not had enough of the ball, but JvPs service has been so poor that it’s hard to judge the backs.

We are absolutely shite and the bench has yet to arrive

That wasn’t absolutely shite, though. We’ve been largely on top against South Africa. But the mistakes need to stop, and I’d probably haul JvP off.

fck me 2 down at ht is great

steward oops

[Danno]

Nah SA are not firing at all. They're using this as a rotation match

[Banquo]

generous ref

[Danno]

And there it is. Forward is ludicrous. We're getting pity decisions

[Which Tyler]

Nah, I don't think that's forward

[Banquo]

And there it is

or not. got lucky tho

[Banquo]

Nah, I don't think that's forward

momentum imo but doubt for sure

[Stom]

If I were England coach, this would be Laurence’s last match

[Danno]

If I were England coach, this would be Laurence’s last match

Yeah that's fair

[Which Tyler]

Nah, I don't think that's forward

momentum imo but doubt for sure

I generally feel that if the receiver is always behind the passer (and doesn't have to scramble to catch) AND the passer goes forward further than the ball does (without any form of acceleration) then by definition, it can't have been a forward pass.

I didn’t get that neck roll…

[Danno]

What???

[Danno]

I didn’t get that neck roll…

That is absolutely crazy, I didn't see any neck or any roll in that

[Mellsblue]

I would say get JVP off but…

[Mellsblue]

I didn’t get that neck roll…

That is absolutely crazy, I didn't see any neck or any roll in that

It was more obvious than the ‘forward’ pass.

Don’t worry, men.
George Ford’s programmed to be on in 7 minutes and forty five seconds!

[Which Tyler]

Can we please trythrowing the ball from one player to another, instead of just kicking the ball?
It's worked reasonably well when we've actually tried it

[Stom]

Props should be changed now.

[Which Tyler]

That did NOT look like a contest

[Stom]

It’s just poor.

[Stom]

I’m going to be honest, though… I don’t get Genge. He doesn’t seem to do anything but give away penalties

[Stom]

Plus this is one more item in my dossier against Ben Earl.

[Mellsblue]

That did NOT look like a contest

De Allende vs Earl?
