[RWC2023] England vs Samoa (07/10/2023)

[Reiser99]

I said it earlier, England fall off after 20 minutes. They don't look too bad and then a few errors and confidence is shot and it snowballs. What's especially worrying is they've shown very little ability to adapt and change plans.

Just looked at the score after reading this thread. I know you guys were saying we were **** but I didn't see we were loosing.

Man all those people saying England turned the corner and Farrell is brilliant looking like stable geniuses now.

Yeah although I sort of think he's low down our list of concerns based on the first 40

I'll be honest I'm also a fan, I'd play him at 10 though and would've built a team around him for the last 10 years...

I'd also have won 2 world cups tho

The bench is so weird, I really wish we had a back 3 player on there*

Ford/May/Manu/Marchant/Arundell is a much better looking backline

I know Smith covers 15 these days but shifting Steward to the wing isn't improving anything

You think? Personally think england have consistenly looked better with ford at 10 and actual centres outside him. Hard to tell though since we basiclly had no possesion past 20 mins.

I personally don't mind the wolf pack celebrations except when we are playing like complete garbage, where it just feels out of touch

Mitchell is clearly being mentored by Youngs. It shows in his play and it's beautiful to see.

I've been told that Farrell is the best passer and Ford can't tackle

On behalf of Leicester thank you RFU for giving us so much money

 

[TommiG88]

Smith on the for Farrell please.

Marchant to 13, manu to 12, steward to wing

Incredibly dumb of Farrell to think there was a pass on in that situation. Rugby brain is supposed to be what he brings

I cant stand it, it seems to only be England who celebrate every decision like it's a RWC final win

 

[General Melchett]

Farrell bailing out Farrell there

 

[Reiser99]

Smith on the for Farrell please.

Marchant to 13, manu to 12, steward to wing

Think that's the best we can do.

 

[Rinkadink]

Who in the commentary was saying Farrell made the cover tackle? lol

All part of the RFU strategy for making the domestic game more sustainable.

 

[Ddanno]

We're saved!

I did wonder when this Mitchell would appear

Under pressure crumbling a lot
