[RWC2019][Pool C] Round 2 - England vs. USA (26/09/2019)

[Grizwald]

No wonder the press come out with the amount of drivel they do. US are no mugs defending well but have had no ball or territory and somehow England are ****

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ban it!

 

[MarkyH]

LCD to break Underwoods try scoring record for England

Have USA even practiced their maul defence?

TBF, we’re pretty damn good at it.

 

[Reiser99]

Ban it!

Told you, if we ban the touchlines then we won't get any mauls.

 

[Iron Lion Zion]

You seem to think how teams play against weaker teams is exactly how they'll play in knock out games. This is not the final and comments like these are ridiculous.

USA are absolute dog ********. You should be racking up 70+

 

[Aristodemus]

It's going to be a long night for the US if they can't handle our maul and scrum.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

That shouldn't have been allowed should it? LCD slipped behind Ludlam but you have to transfer the ball back these days.

 

[ncurd]

TBF, we’re pretty damn good at it.

Which is why I'm wondering if they even practiced it. Playing against England you'd think you'd practice.

That's different to saying how a team plays in this game is the same as how they'll play later. Yes England should win comfortably, but they won't have the same opportunities in the knockout stages and will have to play differently.

 

[Bull]

Your missing that he had 3 tacklers refusing to let go of him long enough to release.
Tackler has to release first, especially if said tackler is preventing the release not the ball.
Ihink they though it wa a maul, not a tackle

I thought the challenge was good, seeing that it wasn't the tackler competing for the ball but an arriving player.

Like throwing straight and the offside line it's a rule that isn't being policed much at the world cup.

What is being reffed?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Will Hooley with no intent to play the ball.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Accuracy on the final play letting us down again

 

[Reiser99]

What is being reffed?

Err...offside from a knock on?

 

[bushytop]

I’ve decided... even after the World Cup is done and dusted...
