Gershwin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 David Strettle's post-match moan is priceless. "I felt the ball touch the floor," said Strettle. "If it is inconclusive you have to go with the attacking team." :Vlad-Stupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 No way a try could have been given. Hearing Guscott and Inverdale hurting badly was extremely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I P Knightley Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 David Strettle's post-match moan is priceless. I'm so pleased to wake up this morning to headlines of him greeting his eyes out. The only thing that could possibly have made it better is if it had been Ashton. Hearing Guscott and Inverdale hurting badly That's not a bad Sunday morning, altogether. If we had to listen to Brian Moore hurting, it would be a Grand Slam (although it would involve listening to Brian Moore). Strettle "felt" it touch the ground. Didn't see it, mind. Just "felt" it - could have been touching anything - such as a Welshman or his own arm. The evidence he has to support his claim is that the England physio, on the touchline, whas jumping for joy about the "try". I have to say, I thought they did very well to get so close to a try but all this bleating about the refs' decision sticks in the throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Winstone Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Great result and fully deserved for Wales yesterday - England look like they are getting better though and I think they should stick with Lancaster tbh. With the age of the England team playing they have the look of a team that can only get better. Farrell at number 10 looked outstanding IMO and I think he could be better than Wilkinson. Scotland will have to put some effort in today to even compete with France - I am not really looking forward to it and it could be Robinson's last chance to keep his job after the tournament. Not sure sacking him would be the right way to go now the Lions job is out of the picture - really think he should be allowed to develop the team beyond this tournament.

Denny Crane Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I wonder what Strettle would have been saying had that incident been at the other end of the field..........? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The disallowed try didn't 'hand the Triple Crown' to Wales either - they were ahead in the match and better than England. That try would have only made it 19-17, lest we forget, with THE CHANCE to level the match. You'd have thought it had cost England victory.

Pete Seeger Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I predict a thumping today. It doesn't matter who we play out wide given he's selected Morrison and Lamont in the centres. I also expect the French back row to destroy Barclay at Blindside. Pretty disappointed with his selection here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand Paul's Ray Bans Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Probably will skip the first half of this game for the second half of the North London Derby. I predict a thumping today. It doesn't matter who we play out wide given he's selected Morrison and Lamont in the centres. I also expect the French back row to destroy Barclay at Blindside. Pretty disappointed with his selection here. The French back row will destroy full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Cockade Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Inverdale is an absolute roaster Good stuff from Scotland but losing Blair and Lamont so early is a huge blow The French obviously targeted Blair as a danger and a couple of late hits sorted the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Seeger Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 We're playing surprisingly well. We're just a couple of decent centres and a stand off away from having a reasonable side. I still expect France to pick us off in the second half but there's certainly positives to take from the first half. Ross Rennie's a great player and Hogg and Jones both look quick at this level.
