[2020 Six Nations] England vs Wales (07/03/20)

[ThebigARena]

Oh dear

Oh dear but everytime we employed this defensive tactic under Shaun Edwards you lot screamed offside all the time

 

[duncanb]

Why look into each single decision a ref makes ?
Wales.
LW clearly wasn't fit poor selection choice in match day squad.
Navadi not match sharp in 23 but TF to start.
England weren't offside your 2 9 s are good runners but like youngs as slow as my granny to pass.
AWJ had his worst match in years has age taken its toll?
England.
9 to slow.
Why dominating a game kick ball away.
Curry is a shadow at 8.
Pick Kruis when hes going to Japan.
Think we know better than the guy who is blowing whistle.
We don't need to be 6 2 v a very average pack.

How are people genuinely saying it wasnt a red with the current laws? Rose tints?

I dont think it was malicious or intentional however its a shoulder to the head. The tackler is reaponsible for the safety of the player. It was misguided and not help by angles but it was shoulder to head. Thats all it takes these days with the laws trying to push tackling lower and lower. You cant say its a BS decision....the issue is with the change in the law and its enforcement NOT the decision.

Allez Les bleues

Yes they beat you, as did Ireland and as did we.

We all see that it's a RED all day but these white and green fans fail to recognise that a player against the red would ever warrent that and there must be some other outwardly reason for it.. stand by...

It only counts if you do the slam tho pal

Can't complain with the result. My take...
England did well not committing to breakdown, plenty of defenders to stop Wales getting through
Add to that, Wales playing very flat in first half showed when they couldn't get through.

England had more creativity (eg Watson's try was good)

England restarts had outside runner (winger) miles offside at the kick which disrupted Wales' retakes. This never, ever gets picked up.

Wales 2nd half started attacking with depth and found the occasional gap.

Red card all day for Tuilagi. Look how he just turns his shoulder and dives into the player. Not acceptable

Marler... that's sexual assault. Especially in this day and age. Not acceptable.

Biggar didn't moan, don't know what you lot are ever on about?!

scoreline flattered Wales.

Was a great test match.

Finally, if a Wales player just Twatted Farrell, got a red card and a lengthy ban, he would be forgiven very quickly. In fact the citing officer would be lenient. He is a c***. There's playing on the edge and just being an out and out twat.

Back to my curry and beer! X

Which you won't be winning this year, or the 6N or the triple crown.

3 defeats in a row.

Yeah agree with most but England got away with murder being offside FFS tomkins kicks the ball unceremoniously at one point and the ref still doesn't spot that. Anyway that said we dropped the ball in crucial moments and that cost us north and Parkes both did from terrible passes tbf but hey ho we got within 3 not bad for a make shift team at the end of the day.

You won't be winning the slam either mate

Wouldn't it be terrible if Wales were offside, lying on the wrong side, rolling into the clear out, high tackles, coming in from the side, neck rolls... Oh wait, you're convinced Wales didn't do any of those and get away with it right?

So when tomkins kicked that ball unceremoniously you failed to spot ENGLAND well offside all the time

 

[ThebigARena]

So when tomkins liked that ball unceremoniously you failed to spot ENGLAND well offside all the time

There's a rush defense and then there blantent offside

 

[ThebigARena]

England lived offside.

Triple crown thanks and not 3 defeats in a row

 

[ThebigARena]

Well done on beating a make shift team with new coaching staff and returning casualties by 3 points you bunch of bottlers. Just shows a settled gatland Welsh team would of won by 10.. no's da bottlers

 

[ThebigARena]

Triple crown thanks and not 3 defeats in a row

Remind how we did against you last year in Cardiff??

And this year? 3 defeats in a row

 

[ThebigARena]

Triple crown thanks and not 3 defeats in a row

Oh and we did a slam too

And this year? 3 defeats in a row

And your point is what ? New coach and new style of play we expected nothing and still came within 3 points of you

Easy there
England actually won you know. A fired up welsh team at the end managed to get 2 tries against 13 players. We needed 5 more mins and maybe then we could be calling them bottlers!

England just played better, end of. 1st half we couldn't do anything with ball in hand bar the one close attempt by North which ended in a handbags
