Ireland v England - Sat 19th - 17.30

[sockwithaticket]

Dunno what he's having a strop about. That couldn't be anything other than a yellow at minimum.

Irrespective of the reasn, not having him around will probably improve England. He's been lumpen the last couple of games. No surprise to anyone but Borthers I'd wager. He's a player that needs minutes in his legs and he spent most of the camp time on the rehaibilitation list, he was never going to hit the ground running.

Absolutely red. See ya Billy, no World Cup for you.

Leading with the shoulder to head, arm down by the side. Zero attempt to wrap. Clear red.

2 weeks at tackle school and 1 match ban

[fishfoodie]

These Red cards are probably going to force Scabnose into picking a better squad than he'd otherwise deliver

Sad but true.

[PCPhil]

Absolutely red. See ya Billy, no World Cup for you.

Also mitigation as the other player was on the other side.

The ref will be banned from the World Cup and the IRFU will have to put a full page apology in the Times.

[tc27]

Thats absolutely a red

[Sandstorm]

Absolutely red. See ya Billy, no World Cup for you.

Leading with the shoulder to head, arm down by the side. Zero attempt to wrap. Clear red.

Seems England have been practicing exactly that tackle technique this month.

[PCPhil]

We're a disgrace.

[sockwithaticket]

True, but selection really is the least of our issues. The commitment to playing fuck all rugby and being shit at the aspects of the game we are bothering with trump any iffy picks.

Hahahahaha.

[sockwithaticket]

Youngs off and we look like we've got some fluency even a man down. Some coaches might learn from that.

[fishfoodie]

Kiwi poaches taking each other out.

Luckily not a bad clash of heads

[Oxbow]

No HIAs? Yay for player safety.

[Oxbow]

No HIAs? Yay for player safety.

Clearly I have influence.

[ScarfaceClaw]

No HIAs? Yay for player safety.

They have gone off no? Surely they can’t be left on the field after that.

[Insane_Homer]

Keith Earls arriving on the pitch is the highlight of this game so far

[sockwithaticket]

Keet's looking a bit like the black Zebo. Unflattering shirt or has he been at the buffet during camp?

[Insane_Homer]

No HIAs? Yay for player safety.

His shoulders are like pillows

[Hal Jordan]

INSTANT RED CARD FOR THAT FUCKING HAIRCUT

[Ymx]

And again. Trying to get a try with ball tucked under shirt,

[fishfoodie]

INSTANT RED CARD FOR THAT FUCKING HAIRCUT

He identifies as a Viking you intolerant bigot !

[Torquemada 1420]

Steward is soooooooooooooo slow.

For all his aerial prowess, it's useless in a kick chase because Atonio would get there quicker.

[tc27]

Getting smashed in tackles now. Symptom if players running into defences that are completely set.

[Hal Jordan]

Keet's looking a bit like the black Zebo. Unflattering shirt or has he been at the buffet during camp?

White Zebo is looking trim on the sidelines and sounding absolutely scathing about England in the commentary box.

[Insane_Homer]

Ford's "tracking" back there was criminal. No interest at all.

[Hal Jordan]

INSTANT RED CARD FOR THAT FUCKING HAIRCUT

He identifies as a Viking you intolerant bigot !

Then he should get a job at Jorvik Viking Centre.

[Insane_Homer]

Well worked try, nice finish

[ScarfaceClaw]

Argentina will be rubbing their hands with glee if this is how England are going to be playing in the WC.

[Hal Jordan]

England commit two penalties in the build up to that try, and look completely clueless.

[tc27]

RFU better arrange a 4th 2024 AI game as they are gonna need to pay for a new coach after the RWC

[Torquemada 1420]

Argentina will be rubbing their hands with glee if this is how England are going to be playing in the WC.

Irrelevant. They both get a bye from that pool.

The were the original small boat people, have some respect!

[fishfoodie]

That gets the score to something approaching a reflection of the sides dominance.

Sorry England fans; been there & done that from being a supporter watching the coaching / selection /development car crash.

[Prembore]

Give Borthwick his due, he's managed to retain an attack coach for three games in a row. Unfortunately it's Richard fucking Wigglesworth.

[tc27]

Fuck me 11 more minutes of this

[sockwithaticket]

That's a bullshit call. Steward got his knees to ground

Argentina will be rubbing their hands with glee if this is how England are going to be playing in the WC.

Irrelevant. They both get a bye from that pool.

I've been fairly bullish about Argentina being the only threat in our pool regardless of how shit we are, but I'm increasingly thinking we could go down to Japan. Lose a man against them due to a shit high tackle and they could run us off the paddock.

Careful, the last time Eng were this shyte before a WC they stumbled their way to the final
