England XV vs France XV - 21/06/25

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Quirke on the wing?

 

[Ddanno]

Don't tackle with your face, Raffi. You're not Jacques Burger

 

[Quel Carreleur]

My turn to be kicked off rigbypass.
YouTube is frankly better quality

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Super Genius Borthwick's selection really paying dividends

Spencer playing the full 80 after a long season and 80mins in the final
A wing at 15 who has not played a single second of 15 at senior level
A scrum half on the wing
Both locks gonna be playing the 80 cause we've already subbed two backrowers instead*


*Forgot about CCS not coming on yet, but that's still a dumb selection error

Screams:

If we dont know what we are doing how can the enemy figure it out

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Beard getting easily outpaced by a 7 who's got 50 mins more in his legs :/

 

[BrokenWing]

I've seen continents drift faster than Slade moved then.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

CCS looks a lot bigger than the last time I saw him - bulking up for a permanent move to second row?

Hope not, too short and doesn’t have the workrate.

 

[Ddanno]

Ha, never seen a more obvious dummy

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

After 70minutes I quite like the new England shirt now.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

All of a sudden the ref decides there is a gate to enter from

Where was that the rest of the match

 

[Abraxaz]

It seems like we have turned off, we are 1 man up we should be turning the screw

 

[Reiser99]

Right don't give them easy territory.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Just realised it's Slade at 15, Beard at 13 and Quirke on the wing

 

[Crash Hamster]

Dan isn't great at lineouts...

 

[Abraxaz]

ffs its like positions dont matter to borthwick

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's 100% a penalty, ref bottled that

 

[Ddanno]

Dan isn't great at lineouts...

That was a good read by France tbf

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

A big lesson in how not to close out a game...

3 penalties in as many minutes at the end of the game is ******* unacceptable

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So slow on the resets on defence

 

[Reiser99]

Poor game management at the end.

 

[TommiG88]

i didn’t realise we were playing, but I don’t follow Borthwick England as he kicks the **** out my happiness

 

[TRF_Olyy]

No heart in that defence in the end,
If you're not working hard there where are you?

 

[Ddanno]

Well that was abysmal.

If I hear the phrase "lé dummy crunch" again someone is losing an eye.

 

[Scotty]

Gutted.

 

[Abraxaz]

France deserve the win.
england hopeless and clueless in the last 1/4

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What positives can we even take from that?

Scrum went well,
Atkinson carried well on the few occasions we used him,
.............?

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Lots of players looked meh in that game.
