SUMMER RUGBY INTERNATIONALS 2022

[Rugbygramps]

I thought that the ref said red, would be two yellows which merits red - hair pull then head butt.

Butt enough for a red on its own

Game plan is good for me. Farrell at first receiver with Smith being used to exploit the space. Makes sense.

Done nothing! Wasted all our good carrying!

Your mind on Farrell was made up years ago.

I like Marcus Smith but this is why George Ford should be in the side. He'd be controlling this. Smith is a brilliant instinctive player but he needs to be guiding this side but he isn't currently.

He'll do something brilliant now I've said that

I agree there doesn’t seem to be the cohesion with Smith and Farrell, but Jones has indicated that’s the way he is going so maybe needs some time

Hopefully that partnership will come good but it doesn't look like a natural understanding does it? Let's hope it clicks. Early days, that's for sure.

I love the one constant in aussie rugby is the white plastic lawn chairs.

Thought England looked good for the first 20 mins but it's been a drab game since then. Been very clunky from both sides.

[Scott1]

Got infinitely worse as the game has gone on!

Second penalty given up by Genge plus one held up

Haha if you say so.

England are finding width pretty easily but a lack of accuracy is letting them down, could probably do with a phase or two tight first

[Postiger2]

How has the touchie missed that throw? That was ridiculous!

The attacking play has been dreadful mate,come on! Farrell has been constantly taking the wrong option

[Scott1]

Decent 20 ,awful 20. Carrying has been good,attack looks lost after that. Got consistently over the gainline ,especially early on but then nothing after. Very frustrating so far

Not sure that the final penalty was down to Genge…..Tom Curry?

Comparison with Ford/Farrell is difficult as they have played since age grade together. Fordy had surgery now so out for a while I would have thought.
