[RWC2023] England vs Samoa (07/10/2023)

[IT157]

What was wrong wih the Chessum try? He was short then reached for the line? I thought ypu were allowed to place rhe ball like that?

What am i missing?

It should have been given as a good try.

And people say Farrell doesn’t contribute

Brace thought he used his arms or legs to move himself forward. Debatable, but as others have said so was the Samoan try that was chalked off.

 

[higgik]

Are they though?
Don't get me wrong they've played well but you (presumably) saw then against Japan. Great they are not and what's worrying about this game is acrually how good they look

The England game plan gives the opposition more ball, so they look better.

I know people hated it, but I hope smith gets some looks at 15 for quins, guy is electric.

What am i missing?

They reckon his first movement was to pull himself forward with his elbow and then 2nd movement to place it
I thought it was one movement though, just getting his arm free and placing

Ref thought that he propelled himself forwards after the tackle, despite his head/shoulders not moving any closer to the try line

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Martin on we have won this

 

[Jer1cho]

Lol that's a first

I would say it's quite likely as Quins have signed a good 10 this season, but then they've got good depth at 15 too with David and Green, so who knows

 

[BrokenWing]

Now I get England’s plan… Hit the spidercam.

[Rinkadink]

Arguably evens out the knock on call earlier.

Oh god, now they're talking about a previous nemesis in Spreaders. Make it stop.

No chance, 100% of our game is built around him at 10

 

[Booboobang]

That law seems a bit unfair. England benefit from a poor kick.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The England game plan gives the opposition more ball, so they look better.

And they say we do nothing for tier 2 sides

Well you don’t know how poor the kick is if it hits something mid flight.

 

[Rinkadink]

I know people hated it, but I hope smith gets some looks at 15 for quins, guy is electric.

This is going to be a problem with the new stupid power RFU have over premiership clubs selecting players, RFU now have a hand in dictating position and training.

Loathe that concept.

You signed Jarrod Evans this season though, fills that same mould. Maybe England get their way a bit with hybrid contracts coming in.

 

[Ddanno]

It's the pinnacle of our gameplan of the last 4 years.
