Re: England vs Chile
Smith with two terrible errors! An obvious pass to Arundell and he kicks it and then butchers one the other way to Malins!

Re: England vs Chile
Gotta like Chile, not overawed at all. Fair fucks to 'em.
England might find it easier if they'd tried running passing before this game.

We're being a bit a shown up by their ability to move the ball.

Yay we finally don't butcher a chance.

Re: England vs Chile
Reluctant to say it, but Farrel's left to right pass there was absolutely bang on.

Re: England vs Chile
Was a nice pass from Farrell. I fear the commentator is waxing a bit too lyrical about his overall performance....

Re: England vs Chile
Billy V's using his hands a lot today - lots of little offloads and holding the ball in two hands. He looks a lot better when he does that.
Ollie Lawrence losing the ball in contact. Quelle surprise.

Malins not doing much to dispell the theory that he's an empty shirt.

Re: England vs Chile
That Smith try was good, but not the magic Ugo seems to think - I saw literally the same play, with the same result, against Tewkesbury this afternoon

Re: England vs Chile
Hopefully that will relax Smith! Great individual try! He’s looked very tight / over trying in that first half.

And one point of note! Our ruck speed is still glacial!

Well Chile haven't turned up, after the first try what little fight was in them disappeared. England still a bit error strewn but the victory is already all done and sorted.
Theo Dan looking decent and the scrum in the ascendency.

I am watching on a computer stream with a couple of commentators from Australia (or maybe NZ?) They are full of non-stop over the top gushing praise for Faz for doing the ordinary. Embarrassing to listen to the clueless twaats.

It's a US based service but they have the World Cup. Its about 5 quid a month. Maybe blocked outside of US

Re: England vs Chile
England looking ok tbh. Given how poor they were in the 6n and warm ups, probs going to finish top of their group and a decent chance of making good progression deep into the WC, can't be too unhappy with that if you're an England fan, surely?
It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

It worked, but draw and pass there maybe?

Arundel's tries to touches ratio must be ludicrous.

Fat Bjorn Borg at 6 likes a lie down on the wrong side of the ruck a bit doesn't he?

Re: England vs Chile
Surely there's an argument here for giving Smith 20 minutes at 10.
