Good decision !

if in doubt, give the attacker the benefit of the doubt & don't let the technology be a killjoy

Itoje not exactly clapping and whooping today is he - that was a garbajosa of a tackle attempt

Been a joy to watch. If rugby were like this all the time, we'd get more watchers.

It looks like chopping & changing defensive systems/coaches multiple times has somehow caused confusion amongst the players ... who could possibly have predicted that ?

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:34 pm**

This is dismal. We've taken a defensive step back with the loss of Felix Jones.

Wouldn't mind seeing Spencer subbed off.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Right down to Garba who at least had the excuse that it was Lomu he was facing.

He is a wigglesworth like scrum half, so yes.

It can't be good when bringing on Bin Youngs would actually speed things up

It was the way the arms flapped out like a bullfighter that has lost his cape

that was nice from Smith - well called from scrum half too

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:36 pm**

Played Marcus Smith.

Eng really need to get Ford on.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:37 pm**

A rare two on four success - would prefer some four on two situations though

A small bright spot is that Sleightholme has looked hungry and effective whenever he's been involved. Definitely ready for international rugby (as soon as he gets rid of that horrible buzzcut mullet, thought we'd seen the last of that when Slade forsook his).

Good option from Smith that kick.

If Slade is being selected as the experienced defensive leader he can fuck off.

Sleightholme looks perpetually confused but he knows where the try line is.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:39 pm**

vok off.

I have been baffled as to what we get from him at this level for years now.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:42 pm**

Isiekwe on to change the game with his outstanding metrics.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:42 pm**

Genge v Bell for handling is a close call.

I know; very un-Joe like

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:44 pm**

Randall and smith would be too exciting so borthwick brings in Ford.

That should be a card on sleighthome

From no look passes to have a good look passes. Genge really doesn't have it all.

Subtle isn't in the Australian dictionary

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:45 pm**

Not sure how that isn't a yellow for deliberately shoulder-barging Sleightholme in the face.

That was right up there with Henderson's effort last night. Been on 2 secs and heaps the pressure on his own team by going full on retard.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:46 pm**

Lawrence should not have tried to offload that. Dumb.

It is a card because head contact at pace and 100% deliberate.

Agree...15 minutes to go..keep possession when you have momentum..doesn't need the 50/50s

I'd have carded him for the level of stupidity exhibited.

Not sure what is going on in the Portugal v USA game but seems like the Yanks have somehow scored 2 converted tries in the same minute

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:50 pm**

Again well played Smith. Nice quick ball and played dombrandt.
