The Official English Rugby Thread

[ASMO]

First half report

Youngs shit
Farrel shit
Slade shit
Daly poor
Billy V poor

Rest ok

The only bright light in the England backline has just gone off injured

[Hal Jordan]

Dylan Hartley's moustache makes him look like a minor gangster who gets beaten up by the hero twenty minutes into the film after trying to threaten him, and then gets shot for failure by his boss' pet psycho when he reports back.

[sockwithaticket]

George on a hat trick so he's not coming off any time soon (fair enough). Can we give Robson 40, please?

Nah, we definitely need to see more of Youngs/make sure the 26 - 0 lead is safe.

[Hal Jordan]

Turnover ball. Best box kick.

[Hal Jordan]

I assume there is a press somewhere in Georgia dedicated to stamping out bald, bearded men built like fucking tanks.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING WILLIS OFF YOU STUPID CUNT?!?

Jill Douglas cut him off while speaking 3 times.

I appear to be the only person watching this, but that "pass" from Youngs to Slade was high and behind him. 101 caps, richly deserved.

[Oxbow]

Only 14 more caps and he's the most capped Englishman ever, can't wait for him to get there

[Hal Jordan]

Paul Grayson giving us his extensive knowledge of defending the maul...

I'm keeping an eye on it, but it's just not interesting enough tbh.

Beer is helping, plus I can legitimately avoid the kids.

[Sandstorm]

Georgia can scrum and ummmm........

[Hal Jordan]

Farrell is a fucking robot. Quick turnover, plenty of men outside him, Georgian defence at sixes and sevens. Kick it to the corner for territory. Jesus wept.

[Sandstorm]

33-0
60 mins

Hatrick for Jamie George

[sockwithaticket]

George taking the piss with the chip down the wing.


30 points to the good, 20 minutes left against Georgia. If it's not time for Robson, when is?

edit - from my keyboard, to Eddie's ears.

[Hal Jordan]

Well done George, Hertford RFC boy done good.

[sockwithaticket]

Looks like Dunn might get more then 30 seconds this week.

[Hal Jordan]

Sinckler's shoulders appear to be held together with tape.

[Sandstorm]

Jesus, this commentary team makes Barnes and Morris sound like Bill McLaren

[sockwithaticket]

Really pleased for Robson. When given the minutes he needs something to show for them to temper Eddie's inclination to make Youngs go more or less the 80.

Flats is OK but McNamara and Grayson have infested Radio 5 for some time.

Nice try from Robson, quarterback sneak.

Hatrick for Jamie George

Dummy from the base of a ruck to bring up the big 38

Where would you say your expectations are at this point?

[Sandstorm]

40-0 ahead and Itoje still celebrates everything like he’s won the RWC. Gotta admire his enthusiasm...

Arch commentary on the quality of the players' moustaches.

[Margin__Walker]

Can be a lovely player to watch and I know it's wet, but Robson's passing is worse than Youngs'

[Hal Jordan]

Robson fucked a try with that pass.

[ASMO]

Robson fucked a try with that pass.

He is still light years better than Youngs who would have kicked it.

Robson and Farrell not connecting

Different mindsets, Farrell a creative vaccuum, Robson looking to create.

[Margin__Walker]

Bit crap, but not a disaster.

[tc27]

Meh.

Hopefully keeping our attacking pattern under weaps.

[Hal Jordan]

Christ, I've only just realised no. 20 is Curry. I honestly didn't recognise him with that haircut and lack of headstrapping.

[Un Pilier]

Nothing positive to say anyone? Pleased to see young Willis start and have a pretty good debut? Genge, Stuart and Launchbury immense? Could understand England’s strategy of taking on Georgia’s strength but a shame it pissed it down when the hard work had been done? Clean sheet? Eddie obviously used that as a development test and to give a few young players opportunities? This is just a whingefest

It was fucking Georgia and we were insipid, stilted, and very negative. No one deserved "immense".

[Hal Jordan]

I thought the Georgians both gallant and game, and can see why they kick the shit out of the lower tier teams.

[duke]

If Eddie has to have Farrell in the side, put him at 12, he sucked out any momentum that we had. That kick when Daly was through 10 metres out was criminal.

I don’t disagree it was disappointing on numerous levels, but this was a just a whingefest in my opinion. You know your Rugby ; you must know there were positives and achievements?

Yes, Farrell showed very little creativity at 10, and when he did show the odd glimmer his execution was poor.

Not really? You have to take the opposition into account. I'd be clutching at straws.
