At least. His lack of pace for an international wing is hilarious.

Bit harsh asking Ugo Monye about Smith never having played at full back before...

Fucking hell, someone throw Kay and especially Monye from the top tier please.
Very good, really good, impressive, excellent, liking the intent to attack, great speed of play, etc etc etc. We're playing fucking Chile you clowns. And even, there's been a ton of crap play so far.

Smith was too, I reckon.
Arundell likely to get a hat trick of walking ins at this rate.
Honestly, I think your trolling is best left until after 10pm tomorrow. Trying to help.

If we try and play like this against any of the better teams, they'll eviscerate us. Support play is still poor and there are ample opportunities for non tier 2 teams to disrupt or steal the ball.
Daly is shite.

That's how you kick possession.
Lovely pass to put Smith into space a well.

Yeah we arent going to play like this vs anyone else. Its a mostly B side throwing the ball around vs mostly amatuers it tells us almost nothing about England.petej wrote: Sat Sep 23, 2023 4:24 pm Daly is shite.

Plenty of reasons to be realistically negative about us going further than the quarters..this performance is not one of them.

Well, yes, but with where we at we need to use every game to build for what we'll do against more serious teams, not give the subs a bit of a jolly.C69 wrote: Sat Sep 23, 2023 4:24 pmIf you can't play champagne rugby against the tournaments lowest ranked team then you have a problemsockwithaticket wrote: Sat Sep 23, 2023 4:22 pm If we try and play like this against any of the better teams, they'll eviscerate us.
