Re: England Australia
And then Eddy decides to bring Care on who promptly gives possession away with an awful drop goal. Eddy's first mistake?

Surprised at the yellow - even more surprised Ford didn't go for 3 points

Re: England Australia
Apparently Barnes actually had Victor Eriakpo Ubogu as MoM...before someone told him....

Re: England Australia
The yellow was harsh. Maybe technically correct according to current guidelines but that seems ridiculous, we'll end up with touch rugby!strawclearer wrote:Surprised at the yellow - even more surprised Ford didn't go for 3 points
Ford kicking for goal?. not surprised he went for the corner!!

Re: England Australia
Miss chunks of the game thanks to visitors (who were not rugby fans!) but looked to me overall:
the core of the team is solid
the appropriate guts for a grinding win are there
some (e.g. Care) may not last past the 6N
EJ clearly one of the best coaches in rugby

Re: England Australia
Still don't Ford at Tigers, we would have to hide him from the big men running at him.
Re: England Australia
Don't need him back - Ford's a good playmaker and at kicking out of hand but too flakey under pressure and place kicking not good enough for top level, which means have to play with a backup kicker, thus restricting selection options.Snorbins wrote:Still don't Ford at Tigers, we would have to hide him from the big men running at him.
As for the rest - England were simply were awful that first 20 minutes and 'Popper' Hartley is a liability in the scrum.
England were lucky today with the bounces of the ball, ref decisions and disallowed tries, maybe that's what EJ brings to the table, the rub of the green?
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
Re: England Australia
Agree, but Hartley along with Care is one I think not long for the fold. Doesn't deserve his place on merit.
Even the left and right of the political spectrum can agree on really important issues.

Re: England Australia
EJ has said on a few occasions now how much he values Hartley (even if he gets in a jam)
