How do people think Genge did?

How do people think Genge did?

Brilliantly.

But I might biased a little bit.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Brilliantly.

But I might biased a little bit.

I didn't really notice him in the loose but was unsure if I was missing something.

Was impressive at the scrum though. Even more impressive when you consider that he's only been in the front row for 3 years

Why take Earle off?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why take Earle off?

Not to risk an injury?

You think Watson, Daly and Nowell are lions.

And Denny is 50/50.

 

[Goodey]

some really fast defence from England here, good to see

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That was a really long knock on advantage

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Why take Earle off?

It was identified that he's an exciting young back that can make breaks and score tries and was therefore promptly removed. Should've learned from Wade and Roko

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Fairly flat game but then again England v Barbarians always seem flat.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tom Curry MotM?

Not sure I agree with that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ford thinking why did Care put the ball down by the touch line.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tom Curry MotM?

Not sure I agree with that.

Earle, for me

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Tom Curry, 18 years old, starts on the bench, gets MOTM and sets up a try with some beautiful hands. The real deal

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I think the only reason why Curry gets MotM is because he is 18 TBH.

 

[Goodey]

Care on the wing is ok I guess

 

[ratsapprentice]

Meh, I think that mom award is a little contrived.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ford thinking why did Care put the ball down by the touch line.

Care was watching Carlos Spencer clips pregame

 

[Goodey]

Ford thinking why did Care put the ball down by the touch line.

Looked like he did it just to wind him up

Danny Care, you expect, is a big fan of Danny Care's comedy.

 

[Scotty]

Curry is the real deal and his brother is of the same mould(no pun intended), different styles slightly but cpuld we get to the point of the curry twins at 6 and 7? Missed first 20 how did underhill get on? Should hask, robshaw and clifford start to be worried about their place for 2019?

So given 23 players here;
15 missing from lions
A number missing from the prem finals and saints games, anyone know how many were missing?

Funny the pack has about 60 amd robshaw is 55 of them and we still put in a winning performance the depth of english rugby is amazing.iseikwe is behind maro kruise launch lawes ewels and still putting in a strong show. Who ever takes over from post 2019 will have a young developing premiership to choose from great to see.
