Eddie Jones has created this 'we're starting again' thing so suppose its expected to lose games. Unfortunatley for England an act of blatant cheating cost them - and that is fitting.

Malinga the Swinga Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I quite like Brian Moore. He calls it pretty straight and summed it up at the end with 'look at the scoreboard'. Our strength in depth has got better in last year, and front row subs were excellent. Russell is a cool dude these days and his game management is class. Used to worry when he dithered about but now, he just looks so confident and composed. Now, can we go to Wales and stuff them? I say yes, we can and will.

Victorian Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It's easy to forget but Russell's brilliance led to the penalty try. The two crossfield kicks were sheer class. Maybe that's enough to deserve the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally the guy who played whole game, was ice cool with kicks and managed the game was better than the guy who shat his kick and created nothing. The pack made his try and any decent back scores the try. Smith can't tackle, can't control game and deserved what he got, which was nothing.

It's one of the reasons I find it difficult to watch rugby - the infringements are much less clear cut than in football, often several going on at the same time, and the number of points you get from a penalty are too high compared to those you get for a try, so games can easily be decided on penalties. So a bad or picky referee and it almost becomes random who wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just said same to my brother. I’ve lost count of the matches we’ve lost when we really should’ve won in the past. England I felt can count themselves a little bit unfortunate but for once the little breaks went our way. Not the best game quality wise but a fantastic game and spectacle nonetheless.

He did well to recover from that though and keep the ball for Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
