6 NATIONS 2021

I find Farrell difficult to love, but he is some goal kicker. The difference between Tigers today being nip ant tuck in the final few minutes and England actually winning a close game was the fact that Mr Farrell slots everything from everywhere, pretty much all the time.

Not sure on that one.
He is not as good a kicker as Ford and came close to losing the Autumn international against France by missing repeatedly and refusing to hand over.

Hahahaha. You just can’t bring yourself to concede we’re better than you, without a comment 🥰

You’re not though ,nowhere near. The best England beat the best Wales 9/10 and you know it! And it’s a FACT not an opinion that you have won 3/4 with an extra man. I only deal in facts,enjoy your championship. Cheer up

Fact: Wales played 4, won 4, beat England 40-24
Fact: England played 4, won 2 lost to Wales 24-40

Pretty sure you would trade any of your grand slams for a shot in at least one World Cup final

Yeah,be fair. I thought Simon Jones was very good in 2005

And Geraint kept wicket for the team my local club.

He was a kiwi wasn’t he? Had a decent series ,don’t remember much of him after that. I think he was replaced by Prior.

Technically we had Tim Ambrose as keeper for a few series before Prior, but Prior was the one who came in and nailed down the role.

Born in Papua New Guinea, but of Welsh Descent. So I believe.

Thanks

That was true in one game. But if you're going to use one game to argue a point. I'll take the 2nd highest points scorer in English rugby history as my benchmark. To think England have used Farrell for so long who 'is not as good a goal kicker as Ford'. Presumably it's just to even up the contest with their opponents?

The England performance seemed strangely more fulfilling after witnessing Leicester's away victory over Gloucester.

Credit to Wales and Wayne Pivac - in terms of confidence and results the side is unrecognizable from the side that fumbled its way through the last 6 Nations and Autumn Cup.

In many ways, losing might have been better. Changes that might have happened may be delayed.

We lost 2 games to pretty poor sides and stepped up against France. Jones will keep his Sarries core.

Clive Woodward made the point after the game about fantastic players in the league who deserve to be picked.

The same Clive Woodward that admitted to not even watching Ollie Lawrence play at Worcester?

Double step by Furlong! Wowzers

Double step by Furlong! Wowzers

Most wingers would be dining out on that. Disgusting footwork from a tighthead.

An entertaining try for Scotland.
