England vs Barbarians [28/05/2017]

[TRF_Olyy]

Noice!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Earle is still raw to a point.

Sarries know what they are doing with youngsters so don't worry.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Thing I like about Earle is the quickness, as opposed to just speed.

Aye, his acceleration is crazy
Usually it's the smaller wingers like wade that move like that, a lad the size of Earle going 0-60 at that speed is lethal

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Tackling leaving a LOT to be desired.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I always think that baabaa games should have rolling subs.

Since it isn't a capped game.

Aye.

I know Tigs, Sarries' results speak for themselves, but Mike "*******" Ellery is being selected ahead of him. Similar to their SH situation.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Btw why is Haley on already? I missed what happened.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Btw why is Haley on already? I missed what happened.

Loz went off injured
Not sure if it was a HIA or permanent though

 

[Goodey]

Loz is off. Got hit hard.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Lozowski went off for HIA

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Aye.

I know Tigs, Sarries' results speak for themselves, but Mike "*******" Ellery is being selected ahead of him.

Yeh but I suspect that will change next season.

Remember Earle did miss the beginning of the season due to the loan so Sarries plan was prob to always target next season

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

In terms of potential who are our best young players in each position?

We are developing so many different options it will be hard to pick.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

How can Ford be so poor at kicking... that was smack bang in front of the posts.

7 has gone from having absolutely no-one (choosing between wood Haskell and Robshaw ffs) to a log jam, It's crazy

Bath coaching fault.

 

[Goodey]

These breakdown penalties from the Barbarians are ridiculous. At least pretend to play test rugby

Swap Mallinder for Slade for me.

Also Watson for Comonasiga.

Simmonds looks very promising at 8.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

So wiggo on....on the wing?

 

[Penne Rara]

As much as I dislike England, I have to say their rugby has been top notch up until now.

Their rush defence has negated every Barbarians attack so far, and I'm surprised the latter haven't cracked under pressure just yet. Nice counter-attack excellence, Eddie Jones has somehow taught England how to be unforgiving and clinical. They're doing very few errors and scored while being deprived of possession. I'm positively impressed.

PS1: Also, clearance kicks have been ridiculous from english backs.

PS2: George Ford should be England's premier first five.
