vinnyt77 the Smith Farrell axis should be ditched forthwith.

alistair Can’t disagree with that. Farrell’s no longer an infallible goal kicker. His last couple of performances from the tee for England have been woeful. He’s certainly not good enough to keep his place at 12 on open play merit.

I’d keep Smith, and find an alternative at inside centre to replace Farrell I reckon…

vinnyt77 Only problem is that Farrell is captain, creates a load of bluster when he gets dropped

alistair

Pity Slade’s out injured. Obvious starter. Daly too. Farrell is still the in form 10 in the prem.

First 30 mins of Ireland v France was about as good as it gets for a neutral.

Heno

Was at the game yesterday, was unreal, sport at its best just hope this isn’t the peak before the World Cup

SM001

Heno It is. We always look unbeatable before a World Cup and then…

Amps

The form cycles in rugby should be studied like a science.

Amps

Nice of the Welsh to get their act together.

alistair

Not sure in all my years of watching that I have seen a full back as strong under the high ball as Steward. Beast.

alistair

Game ruined. Rugby’s gone soft.

Jaco Peyper has never refereed England well IMO. Yellow card, for sure - but red is ridiculous. He’s trying to pull out of the contact. The Irish player is crouching to pick the ball, so his head is in the wrong place. He’s picking up a ball that should be England’s anyway, as Ireland lost the ball forward! In all of that, Peyper is unable to find a shred of mitigation… Twat.

vinnyt77 He was protecting himself, had a split second to react

Dan

It’ll be unbearable in my household as she’s now got bragging rights… again.

vinnyt77

Fair fucks to the BIG though. Best side throughout the tournament, and deserved champions.

Amps

The expectation of players to be ‘perfect’ in every contact is too high a bar, regardless of whether it’s rolling away or wrapping the arms etc. It’s causing anomalies in the results. The French should be fuming.

Amps

Lollers.

Can someone tell Ford that he’s allowed to pass the ball 🥱

vinnyt77

alistair Is there not some tennis you could be watching?

alistair

vinnyt77 sadly not. I’m left with Borthwick’s England. Launch it and keep it up the jumper. Just like his mate Jonno

alistair Just like his mate Jonno

Jonno - the World Cup winning captain?
