[2024 Six Nations] England vs Ireland - 09/03/24

[Bluemoon]

Here comes the inevitable collapse.

I don't agree yet. If England keep the consistency up and actually convert their penalties this is more than winnable.

 

[higgik]

Message gone out from SB.

STOP bloody passing the ball and get back to kicking it, we know kicking wins games!!!!

 

[Endlessrugby]

Yes!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Inexperienced there. Keenan had him lined up, have to take the hit.

 

[Wasps92]

Well at least our good play lasted about 10 minutes longer than against Scotland.

Back to knocking it on constantly.

 

[dirty harry]

Furbank is a turnover machine...

For Ireland lol

 

[AngloScotsHybrid]

Interesting that Ollie Chessum played number 8 on that scrum

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Furbank having a stinker of a half

 

[Wasps92]

How many mistakes has Furbank made now? I want the bloke to succeed but I just don't think he's good enough.

 

[Endlessrugby]

FFS!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Fartin' catching bodies

Terrible

 

[dirty harry]

In test mach rugby a player making 3/4 mistakes in one half can lose the game...

 

[Booboobang]

Even if furbank isnt given time or isnt good enough I dont think we see steward being the long term 15 unless he develops a playmaking game. With this defense and the way steve wants to attack your back 3 needs pace.

 

[big ginger 8]

We've been fairly horrendous, very happy that we have the lead. If we score first after the break we should win. Believe our bench is more impactful.

 

[TommiG88]

The ref needs to the breakdown evenly, otherwise England have been full of endeavour but too many mistakes.

Furbank with many mistakes, Ford can't hit a barn door. Ball in hand he's been ok, think Lawrence and Slade have made him look better this game.

 

[Grizwald]

England have done well. Still a bit frustrating as there were a good 6 points down with the missed conversion and not taking another kick able penalty. Hook Ford on 60.

 

[Groundhog]

I'm not being bad, but imagine living in Altrincham @TRF_Olyy . You're depressed cos you're **** at rugby and you're Also living in Altrincham

Steward has his drawbacks, but so does every player. Bringing in IFW does a lot to cover his slight lack of pace.

I actually think his attack is underrated, he might not bring top speed but he brings power. Isn't he England's top try scorer in the last year or so?
