Six Nations 2022

[starfish]

Ouchie fucking ouch! Well played France... Scotland? Not so much...

Maybe a couple of if only moments for us but yes a very good French performance. Which tbh even being on the receiving end its still great to watch.

 

[bendeus]

What a fucking joke. Headless in attack, powderpuff at the breakdown and shambolic at the lineout. Worst thing is, this England team really isn't all that

 

[bendeus]

Off his fucking feet! Fuck me, right in front of him

They're trying to play. :|

 

[A380]

Gosh.

 

[two sheds]

Nice

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Comeback on!

 

[bendeus]

They're trying to play. :|

They are.

 

[Elpenor]

That’s what happens when you play wingers on the wing. Not the pedestrian Malins (the new Alex Goode) and the past it Nowell.

Also - a decent scrum half who delivers quick ball

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Lovely. But have to say, I think France will eat both of these teams up.

 

[Ax^]

Good on the boyos

 

[A380]

Gosh again.

 

[mx wcfc]

2-1 Wales.

 

[A380]

England have come to win, not entertain. Ms 747 now saying that if I mention the game when we go out afterwards she will be 'very cross'...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Not enough time left now.

Wales by far the better team second half. England are not pretty, but job done.

 

[A380]

Bloody hell. Losing bonus point!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

2-1 Wales.

3-1

[A380]

What an ending

or not...

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Ooh

 

[bendeus]

That second half was epic, fair play

 

[mx wcfc]

I'll take it, but that's a hollow victory. Second half was a lot better. Fair play to Wales at the end.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I'm no rugby expert, but watching that, all the creativity and flair in the back line was coming from Wales. England's forwards look very good, but their backs don't offer much to my eyes. I can barely remember a thrilling piece of skill from any of them. In the end, England could only get over the line with the aid of a brainfart from the opposition.

 

[bendeus]

Astonishingly, and for all our keystone kops at the lineout we were the better side. Three decent tries from open play vs. a load of penalties and a gimme from one of the worst fuckups I've ever seen in international rugby. If only our discipline had held up. So many points from soft penalties.

Finally some cohesion. Thought defence was also really strong.

 

[Elpenor]

England lacking a carrying threat in the backs to get over the gain line so aren’t scoring tries. Can’t capitalise on the ball they produce. Tuilagi was meant to do that. Personally I’d sack him off, too fragile and look for another option

Cuthbert to get 100 caps now?

Cuthbert to get 100 caps now?

He was a revelation today. Rolled back the years to his debut season

 

[bendeus]

(but with better defence and game management - thanks, Exeter!)

 

[Elpenor]

(but with better defence and game management - thanks, Exeter!)

Certainly justified his selection ahead of LRZ. Pleased for him as I recall he got a lot of quite nasty abuse when he was short of form. If he never plays again for Wales he can look back on some good performances this season.
