2023 U20 World Championships

[Which Tyler]

Last pass was definitely in touch before the pass

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tournament was still a pretty big improvement from the 6N tbf

Something off in the coaching staff, backs play and defensive structures look disjointed
There's a lot of talent in this side, they look worse than the sum of their parts

 

[Al Bangor]

I hope Ireland beats France.

Sounds like England men's rugby full stop ATM.

I agree it was a big step up from 6N. France always looked like they could win it when they wanted to, but I was pleased that we really took the game to them in the first half.

Very good England France match.

Very good England France match.

Indeed, I was surprised by the French team that didn't show any sign of stress even when they were 17 points behind England. It looked like they were sure that they would take the lead and eventually obliterate their opponents of the day... another day at the office.

Frustrating end for england.
But lack of imagination at some key moments.

Tour de France, Wimbledon, U20s . . . Employee of the month . . . Collision course

If Brian Gleeson went to a small French Village they would worship him as a god

Dialled in.

In 20 years we'll say Fintan Gunne ran through Tuilagi.

We'll also be taking about how we're divorced because we got cucked by an AI

Completely forgot this was today - doesn't sound like I missed much though!

 

[big ginger 8]

Ref is very decisive and doing everything to facilitate a fast game.

I like it. So much better than the wait and breath approach.

 

[die_mole]

These kids watched too much super rugby growing up.

 

[die_mole]

Loose head should have been carded

 

[big ginger 8]

Is that blocking?

Hammer blow if it counts.

Edit: yeah that's a centre and guard double team.

So under law it should be a ruck.

But I think other players could be an issue.

I actually think they get this wrong. They just formed a ruck.
