England vs Australia (13/11)

[ncurd]

Simmons now to come on an EJ look like genuis for his 2 8's on the bench idea.

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Ffs why bring underhill back on when Dombrandt immediately made a break and support line to break again

 

[Reiser99]

Think that was some bad captaincy by Farrell. Seems pack wanted line out and back Blamire and he's called scrum. Not showing Blamire support.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

....wut?

Mashed their scrum and they win a penalty

 

[ncurd]

Lawes and Sinckler look miffed with one another.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Why have a 6-2 bench if we aren't subbing the forwards...?

Scrums give more of an advantage to attacking teams TBF

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Who reckons Simmonds is coming on for Tuilagi

Yeah, but if you override the pack who want to take the lineout then it undermines them and suggests he doesn't trust Blamire, which affects his confidence. He should be on the same page as his pack.

He can come on for Farrell pleaae

 

[Lé Ddanno]

YOUNGS WTF

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Furbank will come on for Smith and that will be the only change

 

[Crash Hamster]

This is brilliant; Dombrandt on with 16 minutes to go, but the clever thing is that if he gets injured

WE HAVE ANOTHER 8 ON THE BENCH!

 

[Grizwald]

Farrell is getting a lot of hate but he's far from the worst thing about this currently team performance.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Or maybe as captain you are going with the right call?

I'm no fan of Farrell but the scrum was 100% right regardless of the pack.
It's international rugby they shouldn't care which we go and Blamire needs to accept that if he is upset

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Stupid and pointless. If that was going to happen anyway, why rejig the pack twice. Where that EJ hatewank club I've heard about

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can we ppplleeaasseee get Quirke on for Youngs

Imagine Smith getting quick ball/having a 9 that keeps defences interested

 

[ForumWhore]

The only thing that is saving us here is Australia being awful.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

But wouldn't Quirke be at 10 then?
