England vs Japan - Sunday

[16th man]

Is Daly taking the piss?

[bruce]

As a non Englishman I must say I love Elliot Daly - he truly is shit

[Danno]

I like Amashukeli. Taking the time now to sort out the front rows so that we'll hopefully have less fucking about later.

Puja

On the lineout too

[16th man]

Good lord, all that time to sort ourselves out off the back of the maul and that's what we produce?

[Danno]

Good lord, all that time to sort ourselves out off the back of the maul and that's what we produce?

You seem surprised. Coma since 2019?

[Mr Mwenda]

Performance art, innit.

[Donny osmond]

LOLZ the English forwards will be absolutely stewing about that

[FKAS]

What was Mitchell doing? A Ben Youngs style crab and then just panicked and threw it to no one. Nearly cost us a try.

[morepork]

why not just get some border collies in the back line?

[16th man]

Fucking hell Earl, bend your hips. Lucky the attacker span to the side.

[Puja]

Very upright tackle from Earl there. Hope the TMO doesn't look at that one.

Puja

[morepork]

Fucking chip kicks. Sweet titty fucking christ.

[16th man]

Very upright tackle from Earl there. Hope the TMO doesn't look at that one.

Puja

Think the Japanese guy has saved him by trying to side step and making it shoulder to shoulder.

[Danno]

Glad Snarf Bananaman is a lineout nause

[16th man]

So. 15 minutes to burn off all the excess positivity from last week then?

[Puja]

Ref just impressing more and more. Excellent call on changing his mind on the scrum penalty.

Puja

[16th man]

They've just shown another angle of the Early hit and I think he's an inch away from a very awkward decision needing to be made.

[FKAS]

Ref just impressing more and more. Excellent call on changing his mind on the scrum penalty.

Puja

He's a good albeit strict (maybe card happy) ref. Resetting the scrum was good call. Not sure how onside Japan were at that reset scrum mind.

[bruce]

Looking shaky for England

[Puja]

They've just shown another angle of the Early hit and I think he's an inch away from a very awkward decision needing to be made.

My thoughts exactly. Very, very close, and utterly avoidable by just getting the technique right.

Puja

[16th man]

Hilarious that the bookies had this as a 22pt game.

[Galfon]

Lucky and much needed.

[FKAS]

Puja

Lawes very upright and getting shoved backwards. You'd have though the players would have wised up by now.

[Puja]

Not exactly beautiful or creative, but a good show of our current virtues - good kick-off, beautifully placed touch kick, pressure on the lineout, forcing the mistake.

Puja

[16th man]

Happy to take charity at this point.
