modern rugby is definitely rubbish compare the amount of classic games from 2000-2010 to 2010 to 2020 and it isn't a competition.

all the focus is on the referee decisions, statistics, and the technical aspects of the game and not so much about the flair and talent.

it's a real shame.

The combo of subs and allowing the ball carrier to be credited with being tackled when not attempting to stay on feet means
- you get to keep the ball so no incentive to offload
- and fat bastards getting tired creates no space because more fat bastards get to come on

You are joking i assume?
I'd rather be 10-0 down at ht and have the crowd.

Saints really are an embarrassment.

That's 8 homes losses on the bounce. Even without COVID restrictions, there'd be nobody there.

How many years since Wales had a reliable lineout? It genuinely feels like it's always been pretty temperamental.

FFS, Poite, the ball's got to the back of the scrum, just play on.

Not since Scotland had a player in the Lions test side.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:06 pm**

England pushing early in the scrum and wales not taking the weight. Could have penalised either team there.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:07 pm**

Hats off to Wales in that maul

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:07 pm**

Shit maul from England, well defended from Wales, got in and made a right mess.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:07 pm**

Vunipola looks half fit. Bizarre maul.

Apart from one half season a few years back has he ever been anything more than half fit.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:09 pm**

I din’t think I have ever seen Vunipola have such a poor game

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:11 pm**

Why are the Welsh players sitting so fucking deep? They're making it so easy for England to defend.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:11 pm**

Jesus Kerrist. Each Welsh phase so slow, going backwards until misery ended with awful attempted kick through.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:12 pm**

Turnover, Youngs automatically kicks it away. We've got three more years of this, England fans.

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:12 pm**

I’ve thought some of your criticism of Young’s has been a bit over the top but he has been soooo bad today

In those last moves he got to the ruck quick, and passed quick. It was great. Why mostly the meercat.

Yup. But what English alternatives are there?

Posted: **Sat Nov 28, 2020 5:15 pm**

This reminds me of the RWC semi against SA... Wales putting in an incredible shift to keep it tight against insurmountable odds...

Bloody hell! I’ve never seen Billy V move so fast! Like a rocket off that scrum!

Almost as slow as Halfpenny, who runs like a 50 year old.

Like a slow death that try

Had to come, the holes in the Welsh defence were getting bigger and bigger as the phases went on.

Spencer and Robson as the fuly formed pros comfortably outperforming him domestically.

Maunder and Mitchell as the promising youngsters.

I thought that the forwards were going to blow that advantage with white line fever, but nicely done by Mako.
