Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Why, O why, do coaches persist with Daly?
Hopeless tackler, hopeless positioning, and no longer quick.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

A FB's height is only the beginning; what makes him stand out is the ability to get off the ground and compete. Brown and Steward can do it, Dale can't!

Re: Atmosphere during games

I can't believe that serious fans want this rubbish during breaks in play! How is it exciting compared with play? And what makes anyone think that it will draw youngsters to the game? It's not possible to maintain tension for eighty or more minutes, nor should we want to. There are already enough at...

Re: RWC 2023 Fixtures and results

Given that Peyper was omitted from the ref's list for the 2019 WC, because of how cosy he was with the Welsh team, I was amazed to see him given a Welsh QF at all! Using Peyper's "loss" as an excuse is pathetic; it probably benefitted the game.

Re: RWC 2023 Fixtures and results

Was it only lack of money that lost us Moroni? I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games

England lack basic skills. Tackling is obviously "out" these days! Don't understand the fuss about Mitchell; "sound" but unexciting. Would rather have Randall. More creative and more difficult to pin down.
Yes, save the air fares; retire them all.

Re: Freddie Steward @ 12

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that some of those same pundits are suggesting Smith for FB. So, Steward, Daly, Smith runs the gamut from tallest to smallest. Daly is hopeless in the air; would Smith be able to compete? That Daly ever thought his best position is FB, and that Jones encouraged him...

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games

Watching Sco v Ita on Prime; two fairly mediocre teams, but the advantage of watching on Prime is, there's no b awful commentary! Every channel should have red button for cutting out the commentary!

Re: U20's 6 Nations

Been following the tournament on YouTube; can anyone explain why they persist with that absurd
on-screen commentary? It's obviously computer-generated from the spoken commentary, but it's gibberish!

Re-Mitchell; almost anyone fresh would have speed things up, but he's not unpredictable or especially creative.

Re: 6 Nations 2023

Why Mitchell; have never rated him. He brought nothing special. Randall has proved to be more creative and exciting for England. If Lenny can keep his passes up, would rather see him on the bench than Mitchell.
