Re: England vs Argentina
Embarrassed for Itoje making those sound effects when he was tackled off the ball twice there. Very glad the referee had a word with him about it - no need to be shouting "AUGH!" when you've just had a normal level contact just to attract the ref's attention.

Re: England vs Argentina
We're just so slow in everything. Rucks are laboured, clearouts are average at best Youngs isn't getting the ball out quickly, no-one's running onto the ball at pace, and the backs don't look like they've met up before the match.

The fast lager dispensers are the most innovative and thrilling part of the day so far

Re: England vs Argentina
We ran into a few people for a while, then knocked the ball on. Got it back and did some more running into people. Then we kicked it away so they could run into us for a bit.
Sinckler's been good, as has Genge. Aside from that, it's been drab and uninspired.

Re: England vs Argentina
What does Billy V offer if he keeps coughing the ball up in contact?
I thought Hill has been efficient and the two props a constant threat. Apart from that . . .

Re: England vs Argentina

Re: England vs Argentina
After the dazzling match at the Stade de France yesterday evening, this is third division drivel! Apart from the well-taken try, it's been an error-strewn performance by England with little cohesion at all.
Eddie will surely be obliged to bring on the bench early in the second half, but he's such a pig-headed individual that he'll probably wait until the 79th minute.

This is crucial info, thank you. Bar queues are one reason I haven’t been to HQ in a long time.loudnconfident wrote: ↑Sun Nov 06, 2022 3:02 pm The fast lager dispensers are the most innovative and thrilling part of the day so far

Are those the ones that fill from the bottom? Always looks cool.

I dislike Itoje a little more with every match.

Oh. So that’s what a good, effective loop/wrap around looks like…

Re: England vs Argentina
terrible defence- simple miss 2- system and pace fail. Good execution.
