The Rugby Thread

He definitely is the real deal. Looks one heck of a prospect.

Wales have been absolutely awful, but England miles the better side, so it would be better to give them credit rather than slag our efforts.

No field position for Wales at any point yet makes it so difficult for them to do anything other than damage limitation

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We are just very slow and fragmented in what we are doing. Makes any defensive job England have to do relatively easy. Itoje is magnificent today, absolutely superb performance.

 

[Nando]

Itoje and Watson have been immaculate.

Wales have been absolutely dire.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

As bad a Wales performance as I have seen in a long, long time

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If anything Wales have got away with 16-0. Offered nothing in attack and on another day could have conceded another couple of tries.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

*nods*

28-0 would not be flattering to England at all

 

[Tredman]

Good to see England actually trying to play rugby too, there's been far too much stagnant slow rugby in the 6 nations over the past few years

Can only see Wales improving 2nd half but pulling this back would take some doing.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales need a try in the first couple of minutes or England will run away with it.

 

[Paul]

Yep, definitely need some early points, anything really, just to give them some enthusiasm

 

[Parkins left foot]

First 10 mins crucial as to whether this turns into a game or a procession

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wales had to score there. Can't blame them for not taking the three points but that much ball in that area and you must make it pay.

 

[jd1981]

Game over now Wales needed a minimum of 5 points there.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Scored anyway. Bloody hell Ford.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Unecessary lifeline handed out - really no need to kick there

 

[jd1981]

Infuriating try to give away.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Will give Wales hope - which is the last thing England needed to do

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

And Ford again. Bad decisions in our own 22, wake the fuck up.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

Ouch!
