rosbifs versus jolis frogs

[tigran]

Phoque that, once again we dominate and give soft points..

The score at HT is really flattering les rosbifs...hope it won't come to bite us in the end..

[tigran]

Had Lamerat served Nakaitaci it would have been a deserved try, but no...we are again not finishing our moves...

[morepork]

Tigs.....you guys look a bit shaky getting out of the 22 cleanly. There are some great lines being run, but like you say, not finishing it is a worry.

[tigran]

Man, nnot sure it's being shaky, maybe they are trying stuff...

[tigran]

unbelievable, three penalties on the run at scrum time before the engage, unbelievable, why only the french being penalised ? They are probably the strongest unit..

[tigran]

alas they score at the fourth occasion///

[tigran]

So frustrating, we're gonna lose again a game that was ours to win..

[tigran]

Bah, comedy ending..

Great use of the bench by the rosbifs, but it's so frustrating...

[tigran]

We have been on trouble since after that useless kick of Vakatawa when we were counter attacking...really not inspired..

[tigran]

And taking Lopez out for Doussaint looked dull and unfortunately it proved to be...

[Spiffy]

Atonio is a fairly useless big lump. He seems to be there only for his weight. So boring listening to the English commentators drone on and on about his massive size, with no observations on how he actually plays.

yeah, you were right...

So Spedding wasn't bad this time wasn't he ?

[paddy no 11]

Hard luck frenchies, for me the scrum pens were very harsh.

On lopez I thought he chickened out from the 50th minute on, often the first receiver was a forward it needed a ten to step in and kick to the corners to pin the English back or take it to the line but mostly it was forwards at 1st receiver, made it easy for England to get into the game.

Lamerat should have given and yer wingers were mostly gash

I'm not sold. He runs quite good lines but is pretty slow and hasn't a lot of tools in the box. How many international tries has he scored?

[Mr Mwenda]

Less than McClean!

[tigran]

Spedding doesn't score a lot, but he creates occasions

[morepork]

He look pretty wooden Tigs.

[tigran]

Yeah, he has been crap yesterday, but so have been the vast majority of his colleagues..

He can bring much more, I'm not in love with him but he has shown far better the last four games.

They were all under a lot of pressure yesterday, it's a very young team playing a game that was forbiden to lose...
