[RWC2019][Pool C] Round 1 - England vs. Tonga (22/09/2019)

[TRF_Olyy]

******* hell, have they been on the **** this morning?
Decision making is at an all time low

 

[ncurd]

Brilliant hands by May!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Manu looks quicker than he has in a while, real burst of acceleration

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lovely

 

[TheSaffycen]

It's where May has improved most, he's a very well rounded winger now, not just a straight line finisher

 

[ratsapprentice]

Excellent.

Lawes, Daly, May, Manu.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Seeing Tameifuna scrum well and make hard yards makes me really regret that he didn’t have the right attitude to apply himself and make the ABs. Could’ve been awesome if he wanted to be.

 

[Reiser99]

Fantastic try. Not sure why we are kicking so much when we can do that.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Better.

Now take off Manu and wrap him in cotton wool.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Manu looks quicker than he has in a while, real burst of acceleration

He didn’t do as much gym stuff this season.

I think he’s been his lightest he has been for a while

 

[TheSaffycen]

Seeing Tameifuna scrum well and make hard yards makes me really regret that he didn’t have the right attitude to apply himself and make the ABs. Could’ve been awesome if he wanted to be.

Would he ever have been fit enough for their style of play?

 

[ncurd]

Was going to say the other madness why are Tonga testing out Watson with the high ball?

 

[HenryChinaski]

I'm really not looking forward to the inevitable slating if England have the arrogance to not win this game by 50+

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Billy’s looking quick

 

[TheSaffycen]

Would've taken the 3 personally

 

[bushytop]

I'm really not looking forward to the inevitable slating if England have the arrogance to not win this game by 50+

I wouldn’t worry bud, Tonga are flagging.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tom "Katsu" Curry

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shoulder charge on Youngs then

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly forwards breakdown work has been disappointing so far.

 

[TommiG88]

Lots of chat about arms around neck.

Practically impossible not to.

Watson got sin binned and pen try against him for similar 18months ago
