England XV vs France XV - 21/06/25

Don't cheer for him

 

[Reiser99]

Woooo! Everyone's cheering because Dombrandt caught the ball.

 

[Scotty]

Hmmmm, that feels harsh

It's a dynamic/moving ruck due to the first clear out
At worst it's penalty only, but I'd play on

Am I missing something? It was a shoulder direct to head, low level danger but not enough for pen only for me.

 

[Crash Hamster]

Now that was a pretty score.

I really like tha=e way Spencer isn't obvious as to which way he's going to pass.

 

[Abraxaz]

about to slag dombrandt off for not being able to catch a cold, then of course he scores..

 

[NickBD]

Am I going crazy or have they changed the French score from 19 to 17 and now 12.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Dombrant and Hill both hanging out on the wing.

You could almost see the cogs turning in his head...

"I could drop my shoulder in here and then make it look like I've wrapped my arms.

 

[Ddanno]

I don't get it at all, Willis had been comfortably the best player on the pitch, why sub him

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

I'd absolutely hate to be running around paying rugby in these conditions

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Beautiful hands from Seb in the build up

 

[Scotty]

I really do have alot of time for Roebuck as he's not massively flashy or fast but he is just very good and make good decision. He looked for the offload wasn't on so he kept hold and next phase we score.

not just that, but george is one of the leaders of the english squad.

" if i take him out" mindset

 

[BrokenWing]

Am I going crazy or have they changed the French score from 19 to 17 and now 12.

Maybe they have to take off scores in the reverse order they've happened.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Dombrant and Hill both hanging out on the wing.

Have been watching Hill a lot this game and the amount of time he's on the wing is pretty crazy - I get that he's quick an that, but who's picking up his slack if our big 6 isn't hitting rucks?

 

[Crash Hamster]

Am I going crazy or have they changed the French score from 19 to 17 and now 12.

Try was disallowed for head contact...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The red card situation is a joke

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Red!? What a farce

 

[Reiser99]

Wow...upgraded to red. That for me is a red on a technicality. Far more dangerous ones have got yellow.

 

[Quel Carreleur]

Red?
Really?

 

[Crash Hamster]

The red card situation is a joke

I was going to joke about it being upgraded, but thought it was a ludicrous suggestion.

 

[Scotty]

The red card situation is a joke

IFW red was a red with no mitigation.

That one I'm maybe red but enough to mitigate down to yellow.

 

[Abraxaz]

pfff not sure on that red.
its a dynamic ruck, not really that dangerous.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

WTF a red? Neither red card would be a red in the premiership this season.

Bonkers.


As for Hill, maybe he’s just lazy and hangs out on the wing too much?

 

[BrokenWing]

I get there was no mitigation, but what difference does the degree of danger make in that case? Goes from a 20 minute red to a straight red?

 

[Scotty]

Why is George still on? Get Dan on for some more experience. Especially if the Lions get an injury.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Having 20min reds is just a complete mess tbh,
Rugby loves making itself more complicated for no reason

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Ford doing high bombs rather than kicking for touch or territory is constantly putting pressure on back on England.

Poor tactics really.

 

[Abraxaz]

Why is George still on? Get Dan on for some more experience. Especially if the Lions get an injury.

because his head causes french heads to wobble and get sent off?
/shrug

 

[Scotty]

Wait who went off for Quirke?
