Hahaha.

Anyone know where to find the missed tackle stats? Saw reports of very bad numbers against Italy and am curious at the game's numbers, and overall tournament performance.

15 LRZ
14 Adams
13 North
12 Hawkins
11 Dyer
10 Biggar
9 Webb
8 Faletau
7 Reffell
6 Morgan
5 Jenkins
4 Davies
3 Lewis
2 Owens
1 Thomas

North is better defensively than Grady, hence why. O Williams leaves too much on the field points wise, and Biggar is better against more powerful teams. Think we need to try to get closer to our best side now rather than experiment with too many youth who seem a bit raw currently. Will be great if Lake can be fit for the WC and if we get the 2nd row depth back from the cap change...

Yeah in hindsight France probably wasn't the game to be quite so experimental for England but then it's largely what a lot of us wanted in some part, trouble is this close to the WC do you keep the tried and tested which are probably unlikely to hugely embarrass you on the scoreboard but unlikely to go to far or really challenge or do you say F it let's seen if we can give youngsters a go.

At least LRZ is at 15. Was convinced it would be Halfpenny.
 
So much for Antonio being banned for rest of the 6Ns. Presumably he attended a "how to tackle properly without concussing another player" course?

IMO the initial ban should stay in place unless there's some sort of mitigation. Attending a tribunal then being shown how to do your job to chop half off is a load of ******** at this level.

WR's rules say that disciplinary panel members should be independent and free of the union, but they are dealt with by individual unions right? So he was given his punishment by a French committee?
