You’re so way off, Scott, it’s laughable. England shot themselves in both feet time after time. One word for me to sum up their performance: dumb.

Think the team needs ripping up now the 6N is done with. Eddies done it before now he’s gonna have to do it again.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
England were very hard done by in terms of the first two Welsh tries but they put themselves in a position to win the game but then persisted in giving away some of the dumbest penalties one could see. Itoje had 5 penalties on his own there. England’s discipline was dire.

Daly isn't a fullback, Max Malins needs to take his spot, only until Freddie gets the call up to take the shirt for the next 5-10 years
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
The penalty count was laughable,the FACT is though that they were gifted 14 points. Simple as that!

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
For the first time in my life I told my son in law yesterday, he's 1/2 Welsh, that I was considering having a bet on Wales. No I didn't, I'm fiercely English, I wouldn't do that, but I am convinced that Eddie Jones has lost it, selection wise and tactics, tactics which Tigers seem to be more or less following.
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
And it’s a FACT that Wales have won all 3 games with an extra man!

Why have George Martin on the bench if you’re not going to use him?
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
We had them in the crosshairs at 24-24. Then what do we do? Pen after pen after pen. 9 points in quick succession. And not dodgy pens either. Dumb pens.Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 6:45 pmThe penalty count was laughable,the FACT is though that they were gifted 14 points. Simple as that!
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
The ref was a disgrace but so was Eddie with that team, Daly was a shambles, Itoje was like a raging bull penalty machine, Farrell come on knock the kicks over just to do something, an England team picked on form and merit would have smashed that Wales team, let’s not forget how poor they have been in the last year!!
Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Good luck in robbing another GS like you did recently being the lowest try scorers in the tournament. If you get the right ref and another couple of red cards it’s there for ya

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
Agreed. Only have ourselves to blame for the way we imploded in the last 10. Dumb sums it up perfectly!MCC1964 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 6:49 pmWe had them in the crosshairs at 24-24. Then what do we do? Pen after pen after pen. 9 points in quick succession. And not dodgy pens either. Dumb pens.

Re: 6 NATIONS 2021
The ref-erring was a joke, but at 24-24 all it was an even game, so to speak. England handed that game to Wales with poor discipline. The players should have learnt from the first half, don't give this ref a chance to blow the whistle. They did, and that's what transpired
