England XV v Barbarians

[91jmay]

Nope, no chance he makes that grab and pass. Also tired himself out with that run and didn't do a fat lot else (which is probably because he is a lard arse). He is 3rd choice ahead of Webber though.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thorn the legend.

 

[TommiG88]

LCD - not covering himself in glory in the lineout.

Daly with a shoddy few kicks.

Slater should have had Waldrom.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Webber and Cowan dickie making youngs look like the lineout throwing master.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Throws haven't been too bad IMO, line out a bit sluggish due to unfamiliarity.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tait for England

 

[91jmay]

LCD is a much better player than George around the park but his line out throwing is the issue although that was a couple of good recovery throws. Young's is average at best at it throwing, think our line out will be a massive issue with RWC. Going to the front a lot I think (what Young does at Leicester anyway) which limits us but might be a necessary evil.

Do you just want a winger playing no.2 and be done with it? Banahan could probably fill in.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Tait looking strong but taking some big shots

Nah I want Dylan Hartley the best No.2 in the country. Dave Ward still better than Jamie George as well.

That was a lovely try. Ed Slater has done well so far. We've got so many good locks.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Massively far forward.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Going to be a close game

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Easy peasy

 

[TommiG88]

Not bad.

Cipriani growing into the game.

Slade looking good, horrific at the breakdown though

 

[Jbobo]

Anyone else get the feeling that this will either be a classic, open play affair or a whitewash win for England?
.

Yeah, I thought this might happen...

Terrible defending by the baa baas. Nice speed from wade. Maybe an issue of a 3 day turnover for some players?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How was that not a knock on? :lol:

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Easy peasy

Is that another pisi brother?

 

[91jmay]

Wade not being in 50 is so crazy. Ashton or Wade is not even a competition. Superb work from LCD, Mullen and Brookes (very excited with his addition next season. Big upgrade in front row).

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Shame it isn't the baabaa team that play against aus in Nov.

 

[chippieolamus]

Wow great half. Wade, Yarde, Slade, Daly, Brookes all good. LCD needs to sort his throwing out.
@91jmay Why do you dislike George so much?
