[RWC2023] England vs Chile (23/09/2023)

[BrokenWing]

SCW is slowly turning into the tortoise from Kung Fu Panda.

 

[higgik]

Yeah it's hard to tell if a player is good in these games but you can definitely tell when they have been ****. Daly, Stuart and Billy V all been pretty bloody awful.

Think Marchant back but at wing, with Manu and Lawrence in centre

 

[Jimbo]

Farrell will take over Wilkinson's points record the next game he plays.

Indeed but Wilko probably isn’t that fussed is there a more iconic moment in English rugby than him dropping the winner in 2003, very unlikely Faz does anything comparable.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

It’s a weird one maybe he just isn’t good enough at this level or he doesn’t fit Englands system, (a bit of both) he was certainly prominent in the prem final which isn’t really lesser opposition than today.

Think it's definitely the latter as he scored some mega tries for Saracens this season, but if it's not working it's not working, and it's not been working for him for England for a while now

Probably not. But lets hope so on the 28th October!

Yeah Nick Mullins mentioned that approximately 3,495,419 times

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How? Clubs getting bonuses for players doing well individually would be weird.

It's a joke,
Saying that he's gonna take a load of money off the RFU that could be used for championship funding instead

He's in no way a better player tho points or not

I don't have him as a commentator.....

 

[Ddanno]

I don't have him as a commentator.....

Lucky *****.

Awful player

 

[Jimbo]

That’s fair, it justifies his original selection, but as you say it simply isn’t working.

 

[IT157]

Arundell second youngest player to score a hattrick in a World Cup after Lomu.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

SCW saying there's going to be a big shout to start Ford and Farrell

From who?!

 

[Ddanno]

Who got PoM, Arundell?

 

[Jimbo]

Ffs Loz stop embarrassing yourself, if they weren’t good enough 4 years ago they aren’t now, mostly in decline, there may or may not be better options not selected but let’s not be delusional here.

 

[IT157]

Who got PoM, Arundell?

Yeah.

The RFU could have declined to select him and other who won’t be eligible after this World Cup.

 

[spursincornwall]

So what did we learn from that game, Chile aren't quite ready for a place in the Six Nations (if some think South Africa should join, why not Chile)

 

[NeilH]

Just get the ball out the scrum FFS

Exactly, all this posing with ball at the base of the scrum is boring and wastes attacking time.
