AUTUMN INTERNATIONALS 2021

I was also pretty impressed by Malins today. However Matt Proudfoot's seat must be getting warmer now, as there was some pretty shoddy lineout and scrummaging, dare I say it that England are missing Borthwick.

No George,no LCD,no Genge,no Mako (still better than Rodd),hardly no caps out there at all.I’d say we did quite well considering.

Fair point, as well as only having two real lineout jumpers when Laws goes off seems to be a weakness that can be easily exploited by other teams. However the scrum is still an area I think that there is some concern, as if anyone should be able to come up with a counter to SA then I would have though Proudfoot would have been able to help somewhat.

Come on Oz! Great start and nice try

Red card for that!

Red card for that!

That's been a red card for a few years now, at least they're being consistent with it

I was joking ,it was a shocker!

Red seems harsh and unfortunately probably spoils the contest now.

Why do so many players get sent off v Wales?

I was joking mate,all he had to do is lower his height and he would’ve melted him

The actual tackle was not high though, it was just the head on head collision that is the issue. It is poor tackle technique as his head should have been on the other side. Anyway France vs NZ should be a belter.

I know this is heresy, because he's a Saints player, but I love Courtney Lawes. What a guy.

No arguments from me.

Shame he was illegally on the field after the last penalty....
Think England were lucky that they didn't get a Yellow earlier & Pollard missed two relatively easy kicks.
But attacking wise England looked a lot brighter, it should make EJ think re Farrell but I doubt it unfortunately.
Sinkler suffered like Cole did in the RWC final.

Yes looking forward to that mate!

I have never listened to the Flats & Shanks podcast but I am enjoying Shanklin's commentary, he isn't too one eyed and gives pretty good insight but my god is Stephen Larkham dry and joyless.

I know motm usually goes to the winning team but Eben was immense. Looks like a vacancy on the England wing and are Wales the luckiest team ever?

Yeah Etzebeth has been immense in the last 2 games he has played in. Did anyone confirm Radwan was injured and that is the reason for not being selected?

Radwan left wing and Malins right wing sounds good for me.
