[QUOTE="Jakedood, post: 1024013, member: 72409"] A couple of things to note England probably deserved a scores lead or something at 69 minutes, maybe 6/7 points (could say 8, as sales may have kicked penalties instead of dubious tries scored) England are made for strangling opposition with territory, not so much at forcing the pace. They are very very effective at keeping teams pinned back in their half and forcing them into errors, so in this type of game i would have back england to win. However they lost and indiscipline is a big reason Couldn't believe the speed of LRZ vs may, i wondered if may has slowed from his 10.3 100m times, and his place may be under threat The last intercept on Robson was coming, you could see them coming off the line hard and his challenging first defender every time predictably before going wide was a weakness. Should be doing it occasionally with a hard runner on the shoulder, but otherwise too slow, and I'm curious if Randalls speed of service will be seen in summer at least off the bench Daly is struggling for form and looked horrible yesterday, bar one magic moment. He needs at least a bit of time out of spotlight, i think malins may get a start before six nations end Slade disappointed me and again may see that power center but wasn't as poor as Daly Farrell i thought wasn't great with the ref, but his performance as a player alone was exactly what he needed. Brilliant defensively, was very impressed with the force of his tackling and thought he looked a lot better on the gain line Could talk about other players under fire but think they mostly showed real improvement. How good did making vunipola look? Sinckler could maybe do with someone pressuring him more, to get that edge back, Wilson did a lot of dirty work without really standing out, i was a little disappointed in him but that's his role. Willis may have had a decent effort in this game bar injury which is such a shame Edit: just seen first 15 mins again now, had a bad stream yesterday watching it behind, and the first two pens against england were extremely harsh on May and Itoje. Very very harsh And the third one itoje for side entry before the maul had formed... Not as bad, but still could make an argument of legality. At this point england should have clocked that they should be almost not competing at breakdown or doing anything overly clever, hes a whistle happy ref to say the least [/QUOTE]
