I had France down as slight favourites to top the table and think that will happen. Big result for them away from home yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 **** Youngs pinging it at a forward’s face from point blank range. 98 caps. 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But only minutes earlier he puts the kick through causing the try for England. he’s the best we’ve got in that position currently. We need more competition for the 9 shirt for sure though.

We need more competition for the 9 shirt for sure though. Agree to disagree. I definitely don’t think that he’s the best 9 we’ve got. His kicking has been all right but it doesn’t make up for his consistently poor passing. Anyway, very strong half from England. I can’t remember Ireland getting in our 22 but we’ve wasted a few opportunities to threaten their line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 England’s defence has been immense. Great performance when needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 England Wales has been very scrappy and niggly. Farrell is behaving like a spoilt brat and playing into the Welsh hands. He is likely to get a yellow today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 England have played well so far. That penalty just before half time was so silly. Awful defence as well straight after HT but excellent play by Wales to capitalise. Great scrum has swung it back into our favour, but wales look so alive ball in hand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) Navidi has tackled everything for Wales, but then everyone from England has been immense in the tackle. Hit after hit. Line speed so fast that it’s 2 men tackle so often. I would say, there have been quite a few not straight line outs not called. This attack from Wales all started from one Edited March 7, 2020 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
