The Rugby Thread

Starting to get angry now

5 kicks out on the full this half, yes it’s difficult but use common sense adjust.

 

[Parkins left foot]

No idea why England are kicking this in these conditions - keep the ball in hand for god's sake

 

[Tredman]

Tbf, if the ref was being fair then giving Scotland line outs is a valid tactic. They’ve lost them all, or blatantly cheated.

 

[jd1981]

Conditions are bad but both sides should hang their heads in shame for this England’s kicking is woeful Scotland line out is laughable.

 

[Tredman]

Scottish fans really are scum.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hogg you lucky lucky lucky boy.

 

[jd1981]

As paddy said up the jumper rugby works.
Agree a lot with some on here it’s between France and Scotland fans for the classless award in world rugby oh and Australia.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

We are fucking horrible when England are in town but at least we respect the kicker.

At least Wales know their rugby and will tip their hat to a quality bit of play even from England.

 

[Dinowolf]

England win 13-6, so Scotland get a losing bonus.

The weather ruined that but there were some brainless decisions by England.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I dunno, I've known Pad for nearly 15 years and he only begrudgingly acknowledges that we won a World Cup...

 

[Parkins left foot]

Got there in the end, but not sure that England played the right tactics in those conditions.

Instrumental that the winning try came from keeping the ball low & driving forward.

 

[Tredman]

Back row did well, especially considering some of the pelters they got beforehand. 9, 10 and 12 weren’t clever enough today - worrying as one of them is the captain.

It is through gritted teeth for sure, but it defies logic not to admit when a team like your 2003 side is THAT good.

England played the conditions very well there. Did everything right and eventually Hogg cracked.

 

[Tredman]

Very interesting interview with Genge.

 

[Dinowolf]

Very interesting interview with Genge.

Q. Did the criticism sting? A. What from sausages with empty heads?

Eddie making a comment about the crowd saying "I thought you were supposed to respect the kicker"

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not often I agree with Eddie Jones, but there he is right. Respecting the kicker is sacrosanct.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

France are making heavy weather of Italy.

 

[Stan Hullis]

They have completely lost their heads
