[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 626097, member: 57076"] - Huget's try off the very high bounce was pure luck. I don't resent all lucky tries, you're reading through thick glasses into what I'm saying again, but Doussain smashing unnecessarily into Dulin who drop the ball and North there to ground it is ridiculously lucky for North, that's just a fact. - I'm done with England. And yes, it's true the backs have brought a better dimension this year than the Brown-on-the-wing/Ashton/Goode era. Watched a bit of that Jonny May tribute, kid's got good steps and speed. And I've noticed watching England's last 3 matches he in particular doesn't run straight lines. But there's just a rigidness about England, a lack of aesthetics about their game, and a great simplicity in their work that altogether gives me that idea of it. Some times I'm wrong with the way I say it because I've seen things while others have seen more and find my statements wrong when they're really partial, but that much is clear, what I've just said about England. No, of course France aren't better with broken play or passing the ball around randomly. But again, each thing its own thing. France have major game plan/attacking issues, but England are bland though not sterile. England haven't exactly looked magnificent on attack at any point, nor have they looked even good on attack when they pass the ball around too much, and they immediately go for the ruck/one pass/ruck/one pass. But it's true with Jonny May and Mike Brown, these two are good, especially Brown. And no, I don't have a complex or wtvr with England. I've praised what I've genuinely liked about them, [U]abundantly[/U] (Lancaster, better use of backs in 2014, Mike Brown, Farrell's all-around quality), but I really do have that criticism about their style, if you'll allow good Sir. ;) Huget's tries to refresh some memories, not exactly 100% luck: [media=youtube]2Iw7ERD85MY[/media] and the other: [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiZirAxmKis[/URL] [/QUOTE]
