France aren't even playing that well. Still lots of errors that won't happen with their first choice players. More scared of France than England

His defence is terrible (justice for Esterhuizen) and he can't direct an attack, and has no flair or vision. Do England need him because there is no other competent place kicker?
The media talked about Cipriani too much. Farrell is Eddie's double-down spite selection. :wink:

You are very wrong. Other than a few dim pens and the screw up clearing direct into touch, they've been excellent IMHO.

Yup, really frustrating. Slade, May, Daley, Anthony whatsisname all excellent runners and we never see them
And loads of good ball carriers in the pack who are only there to set up box kicks or bosh from 5m out.
Still doesn't answer the SH question. And Daley at FB....
Youngs is a problem but I'm not going to pretend we've not managed some great attacking rugby with him on the field.

And Daly's problems are not in attack.

My point being that Daly discussion is irrelevant if he should not be there at all.

As someone said earlier, Apart from one individual try this is the Borthwick era all over again.

Depends if you count excellence as reducing errors or playing amazing rugby. They've been very competent, but I wouldn't say brilliant

Even if we'd been under penalty advantage that was unnecessary.

Er, not sure those subs are going to do much when one of our key play and decision makers is obsessed with kicking the ball...

FFS Geraci. No arms and offside. I assumed he'd been done for the no arms but it was missed by ref.

Few back three players ever do. Running it back into traffic like that is purely to get closer to your forwards for recycling purposes as far as I can tell. Oh for the days of them streaking off wide and expecting support to keep up.

No, he was running onto a pass, I'm talking about the basic full back skill of making meaningful yards past the chasing line of defenders. Edit: Even with strength if not speed or footwork.

Hey Mandalorianne: I can tell you that Carbonel would never pass a ball like that. :shh:

Daly doing his best to change my opinion of him in attack. Butchers a try with the timing of the pass

Should pull Tolofua and Jalibert now and bring in Macalou and Carbonel and go for the game.
