6 nations 2021 Scrum down in the lockdown

[Torquemada 1420]

Martin on for a totally undeserved cap. Good for him but, fucking hell.

Who is he?

[BnM]

How many penalties against England? Feels like a lot.

Bet it's passed 15.

Who is he?

Leicester player. One for the future. Apparently.

[Hal Jordan]

Martin on for a totally undeserved cap. Good for him but, fucking hell.

Who is he?

Leicester foetus, with less Premiership appearances than Sam Simmons has scored tries in this season, but he's a 5.5 so Eddie's hard for him.

[Torquemada 1420]

Eng cleverly running down the clock.

[Plato’sCave]

How many penalties against England? Feels like a lot.

14 on my count

[clive]

England cannot beat Ireland with 13 men, shame on them.

[BnM]

Someone really needs to look at the typography and layout of this but it's actually 14/11 to England, thing is it's 6/2 to Ireland for P kicks at goal.

Scrum?

[Oxbow]

Good idea, go for the scrum which will eat up more time.

[tc27]

Glad thats over.

Worst England 6Ns for many a year.

[Torquemada 1420]

Glad thats over.

Worst England 6Ns for many a year.

3 to be precise.

[BnM]

That was a good pass, best English play for me.

[Hal Jordan]

Best pass from an England fly half all match, and he's a scrum half...

[Sandstorm]

Well done Ireland. Clinical

[Torquemada 1420]

When’s the last time England lost to Wales, Scotland and Ireland in the same tournament?

1976 I think

[tc27]

Glad thats over.

Worst England 6Ns for many a year.

3 to be precise.

In performance terms more though.

[Paddington Bear]

Best team won, by a long way. No complaints

[tc27]

Congrats Ireland..very composed performance.

[And 1 guest]

Hope we get a contest in the next game. The first two were walkovers

[SaintK]

Well done Ireland. Clinical

Played Ireland, that was comprehensive!!
Wait for the Eddie "I didn't prepare them properly" interview

[Plato’sCave]

When’s the last time England finished on negative points difference ?

[Begbie]

Pumped. Well done Ireland.

[Paddington Bear]

Wales will win this, won’t they? What a horrible year

[sockwithaticket]

Practically guaranteed a second 5th place finish. I know people give out to Lancaster for his team never winning anything, but we never won fewer than 4 6 Nations game or finish lower than 2nd under him either. Frankly, I'll take a consistent 80% winning record over boom and bust trophy oscillation a la Wales. I am aware, however, that's not a popular view and for some people titles and trophies are very important.

[Chilli]

This lacks the ferocity of the Engkand / France game

This game has no pace, no flow. Dull so far.

That changed rather quickly in favor of Ireland

The boom bust thing puzzles me because it's not like Eddie changes his tactics or personnel much.

[Plato’sCave]

Wales will win this, won’t they? What a horrible year

If we do, I won’t gloat, I may post the odd gif if we do get the rub of the scoreboard

Well done Ireland. I fully expected England's diabolical negative game-losing approach from Tactical Master Don't You Dare Question My Genius Eddie Jones, but we were even more of a rabble than I expected and Ireland were better than I expected.

A whole heap of shit from some of his favourite undroppables, too. Sadly Ford had a stinker and will probably be the one to pay the price.

Triple Clowns - we've not lost to Ireland, Wales, and Scotland in the same tournament since 1976.

Yep, Ford did have a stinker. No one had a good game today but There is a consistent real problem at 9 and 10.

Ford is not consistently a problem for us. Farrell is, far more of the time. But time and time again the team is asked to play this cancerous style of rugby, and Ford has to put most of his tools back in his box.

It's not Ford's fault we're kicking it away constantly. That's pure Eddie, particularly in away matches. He's addicted to anti rugby even when it's a relentlessly losing tactic.

Somethings wrong that’s for sure. Dayglo was spot on the second half. We had 2 positive breaks making good ground and on the 3rd play it got to Ford who kicked. Easy ireland catch and all momentum gone. Is jones saying to players,’ always look to kick.’ Not sure about that one.

[JM2K6]

Of course he is. It's been a pattern under him, especially in away games. He predicted England's style of play during the week.

If it's not him then he's a dreadful coach. But it's him. He's an absolute control freak.

[JM2K6]

I mean this is the guy who glories in stats about how often winning teams kick the ball, and who says centres are glorified flankers.

It's Eddie rugby to the core.

[Uncle fester]

[Uncle fester]

Hard luck England. Change your coach and Pat Lam will have you firing by the time RWC comes round.

[PCPhil]

Dirty b’std biting his arm like that.

[JM2K6]

Oh good, we're at the "comb through the footage to find anything to use to attack England's players" stage.

Anything to distract from Aki and his attempt to behead English players, I suppose.

[BnM]

That set is from the 80s
