Gats really doesn't give a shit about this 6N.
Eh? Is that not your strongest team so far?
If he has to put a winger at FB I’d rather see Adams there. Is Tshiunza injured? Only I don’t think he played against Italy and isn’t in the 23 for this one.
I know. But he can still pull out.
Probably is Rassie. That account is a fkin shitstain smeared all over social media, bagging ref decisions week after week. Some correct, others hilarious.
To be fair, he is consistent.......JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:17 pm Love the comments. "Carl Dickson is actually really good and consistent". Aww yeah, real expert opinion on display here
Gats has told a few senior players that this is their last game for Wales
Who are we talking?
I think he said their last 6N game.
While I think every test matters and you should be trying to win them all, undeniably the Unions in part judge their coaches on World Cup performance. With that in mind, you do have to make a judgement call as to whether some players will make the next world cup and if not whether hanging on to them for 2 or 3 seasons prior will be more beneficial to the team as a whole than blooding their replacements.Jim Lahey wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 4:34 pmWho are we talking?
AWJ
Biggar
Webb
1/2p
Owens to retire after the WC I assume?
Faletau, Tips and North surely have a few more years in them.
Mitchell must be fuming; WTF did JVP do to deserve keeping the starting place ?JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:08 pm England team announced. Arundell starting on the wing, Manu in at 12, Slade stays, Farrell at 10.
Genge, George, Sinckler
Itoje, Ribbans
Ludlam, Willis, Dombrandt
JVP, Farrell
Tuilagi, Slade
Arundell, Watson, Steward
Bench:
Mako, Walker, Cole, Isiekwe, B Curry, Mitchell, Smith, Marchant
3 backs probably because Farrell isn't fit and Manu is a sicknote
Our 9 selection means jack all if the pack don't seriously up their game. Also, we've more than enough experience of watching our bench 9 come on and look amazing, be rewarded with a start or two and look no better in that role than the man he displaced.fishfoodie wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:41 pmMitchell must be fuming; WTF did JVP do to deserve keeping the starting place ?JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:08 pm England team announced.

By the time he gets on the field, the fat lady will be practicing her scales on the sideline
Will we keep score by how many times their delivery gets the receiver smashed ?
Peaking too early; nailed on QF exit
Well yeah, years 1 & 2 of the RWC are to identify the dead wood, & their replacements, & then years 3 & 4 are to bed them in & develop a system & a style. You can't blame JvP, Smith, Kelly, OHC, & Arundell etc, for not being up to speed with International Rugby, when they were never given the option.JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:25 pm Sometimes what you see is what you get. What we saw under Eddie for the past 2 years was an absolute shitshow. It's not really a surprise that the callow Eddie Jones acolyte and his even less experienced sidekick aren't halting the slide, but it's absolutely batshit insane to be pointing at this and going AHA! EDDIE JONES! I TOLD YOU IT WAS WRONG TO SACK HIM! when Eddie Jones is one of the reasons why we're in this fucking state.
Anyway I'll watch the video and no doubt get very annoyed
At first I thought he was great with a fresh take and some interesting detail analysis...Margin__Walker wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:58 pm Glad it's not just me that finds Squidge insufferable.
It's one of his rare comments where it's impossible to actually prove him wrong and if the slide continues he will get more and more smug.JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:25 pm Squidge has been making a bit of an arse of himself recently. He's so obsessed with his "Eddie Jones was going to win the World Cup with England" schtick that everything is viewed in that light. He refuses to believe that Eddie Jones is one of the big reasons WHY England are in such a hole, and it really does describe his 'analysis' to a T that he believed (and continues to believe) that the utter chaos, misery, confusion, and accelerating crapness of England under Eddie was actually all part of a plan. He cannot shut the fuck up about Eddie Jones.

Eddie already proved him wrong by making England worse and worse and worse, tbh. He was distraught when Jones was sacked.Blackmac wrote: Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:09 amIt's one of his rare comments where it's impossible to actually prove him wrong and if the slide continues he will get more and more smug.JM2K6 wrote: Thu Mar 16, 2023 10:25 pm Squidge has been making a bit of an arse of himself recently.
