Of course it was. Wales were heading to the line at 50mph.
Six Nations Round 2: England vs. Wales
The ball had two England players wrapped around it. If it had been allowed to cross it would have been held upSandstorm wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:09 pmOf course it was. Wales were heading to the line at 50mph.

Nicely done, I reckon Earl was counting on all the Welsh backrow being heads down for the shove.
Earl is on the ball so how can anyone say it was 100% leading to a try if Root hadn't dropped it?Sandstorm wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:09 pmOf course it was. Wales were heading to the line at 50mph.

Earl was on the ball on the ground. You can’t say he was while on his feet. Pen try all day long.
Agree on Earl - screwed his team there.Big D wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:07 pm Strong refereeing there. Don't agree with it right enough.
Ben Earl cost that. Kay praising him but they drove through the space he came from.
And then Wales screw themselves: awful game management.

When was the last time England didn’t give away eight million stupid penalties by half time?

England have a long and glorious tradition of picking single digit IQ second row players who do dumb stuff.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:13 pm When was the last time England didn’t give away eight million stupid penalties by half time?

Could someone teach Chessum how to tackle?
It's crazy. I can see a red from 2 yellows later.

Coles looks a bit a giraffe rather than a unit, but his height may conceal the bulk.
He has bulked up a bit since last year.Hal Jordan wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 5:17 pm Coles looks a bit a giraffe rather than a unit, but his height may conceal the bulk.
Mouthguards with chips in! If Gats flips a switch do our players eyes turn red and start playing properly?..
I love watching little children running and screaming, playing hide and seek in the playground.
