Six Nations 2023

[Elpenor]

I’d start the car now tbh

Ref is an absolute fucking cunt. Hard enough to get any change in Paris but genuinely, fuck this

 

[Elpenor]

Have France by 20 so hope Ramos gets the kick

 

[Spymaster]

Always impressed by wide conversion kicks.

Some look absolutely impossibe.

 

[Ax^]

right lets get to it

Well that was disappointing from France, fairly gutsy from Wales in the second half. Not exactly a classic though.

Here's hoping for better things from the Ireland game, suspect we're going to see England getting pumped however.

 

[Elpenor]

Going to call it now Genge is going to get an early red card

 

[Spymaster]

C'MOOOOOOOOOOOOON IRELAAAAND!

Fucking Jaco reffing. I just want to back up what bendeus said up thread.

Weird assessment. 7 decent tries and a high intensity game throughout?

 

[Elpenor]

England so unfit

 

[Elpenor]

Yet somehow ahead

Ireland playing like crap atm no inventiveness and indisapline

 

[Elpenor]

The stats imply Ireland doing a fair bit defending but doing it a LOT better than England are who are not defending at all well

We’re doing okay. Need to settle into the game. Some poor decisions

 

[flypanam]

Great try.

 

[Elpenor]

So many missed tackles and not many dominant tackles by England

The much heralded defence coach Kevin Sinfield is not proving to be very good

 

[Ax^]

sorry feel for the English player by ffs why turn and take the hit on the elbow

 

[Cerberus]

By the ‘letter of the law’ it’s a red, apparently.

Good game now over.

 

[flypanam]

I’m loathe to say this but furlong is all stink today. He’s turned up in some places he shouldn’t. Rescuing the loose ball is his highlight. He’s off the pace. Can’t quite work out Baird either.

However, it’s a stress game and we seem to be working things out. Still if we have a good third quarter I’ll be more settled.

Maybe my bias showing, I though France were really baggy in the second half, played like they could just throw it around and it would all work out. Poor defensively too. Wales rightly took advantage, but I didn't feel it made it a good game.

Shame about the red for England, it's right though. The whole bloody point is for players to learn not to do stupid shit that could seriously harm another players brain. He could have turned his back, had his arms up, just plain tackled him

 

[fucthest8]

Watch that Steve Thompson documentary if you have any doubts. Heartbreaking

 

[Elpenor]

Farrell puts the ball up in the air, with the flanker chasing it ponderously

Clueless

 

[Elpenor]

Steward red won’t make a difference to the result as he is normally well out of position when opponents attack

 

[1927]

By the ‘letter of the law’ it’s a red, apparently.

Good game now over.

If that’s a red the game has gone silly!

 

[ruffneck23]

Good match...

 

[Ax^]

aye England really messing with our playing style a lot closer than I was expecting

 

[Elpenor]

England can’t score tries against good teams

 

[Elpenor]

That worked, will post again just in case

England can’t score tries against good teams

Rob Herring, ridiculous in The 3rd test in NZ and ridiculous now.
