[RWC19 Warm-Up] - England vs Ireland

[TheOvalBall]

England scoring some nice backline tries.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Good try.

Did May slightly lead with his forearm into Murray?

 

[HenryChinaski]

That's fair - no offside line ETA, hang on, wasn't it changed after the Italy debacle?

Not to mention that I do hate those throw it awayss hunting a penalty

I don't see how it can ever be fair when you can't pass the ball to your attacking line due to a lazy runner. Granted he could have eventually got it away but it was two seconds after he first made the motion to pass and couldn't because Healy was there.

I totally agree that you shouldn't be able to win a penalty whenever you want just through chucking it into the lazy runner , but when they are actually disrupting your play, I think benefit should got to the attacking team

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Youngs been Ireland’s best defender so far.

Really good at stopping England’s attack

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Just think how good we could be with a scrum half.

 

[Which Tyler]

Whose were the last hands in that try? It was brilliant, and my stream cut out for the replay

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Curry was the last hands i think

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Youngs is having a stinker even by his standards

If there's no offside line, then Healey's allowed to be there.... If

Had Young's passed immediately, and it had not Healey, then I'd be ******, but he delayed, could have made the pass anyway, and chose not to play rugby, so he gets no sympathy from me (as a SH)

 

[Scotty]

What happens if we lose marler? As he is LH and TH cover? We lose him, can anyone else cover both? 31 player.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Surely it has to be
10. Ford
12. Farrell
13. Manu

For the RWC.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Like the back row.

Probably bring in Williams and have Cole covering loosehead

 

[ncurd]

TBF Ireland look not completely at the races they look just in the backfoot in defence throughout.

 

[Jashay]

Stockdale is having an absolute mare in defence. Not sure if it's his positioning or the Irish defence leaving him stranded, but it's notable

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, no intensity at all

England look like they're ramping up for the world cup and Ireland look like it's a training runout

 

[HenryChinaski]

It's almost as if we already knew and predicted that youngs would be our Achilles heel and that other 9s need game time....

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's made the wrong decision in running out of the line about 3 times now - gotta be something he's been told to do, no one is that clueless

 

[HenryChinaski]

Had Young's passed immediately, and it had not Healey, then I'd be ******, but he delayed, could have made the pass anyway, and chose not to play rugby, so he gets no sympathy from me (as a SH)

Maybe I need to see it again but my instinct was that Youngs couldn't pass straight away due to Healy.
Either way, Youngs has been trash though!

Aki gonna Aki


Not looking good for Healy at all
