Got to be up there with England's worst.

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
Well if that was an audition then the likes of Blamire, Stuart, Dombrant, Smith, Porter & Big Joe didn’t take the chance IMO - particularly in the first half when we were largely on top and with good territory.
Not that the game plan offers much chance to anyone that doesn’t catch a box kick or smash through the defensive line as a one out runner.
turgid stuff

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
After having watch the second half… Scott - I would like to apologise for misjudging the match and your comments!
Some context with it being the first game in a long time, but England have a fair way to go. Samoa will be feeling fairly confident after that.!

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
Awful from England, just as ive always thought Care and Smith can't play a stuctured game to open defences. A lot of work to do scrum and lineout shocking in second half. with all the pocession in first half a good 9,10 would of pulled Wales apart.
Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
One two Bosh rugby. A dirge compared with the France Scotland game.
If the effort was on defence it failed and nothing was offered in attack. Imprecise, loose, detached and incoherent.
11-0 down going into the home leg. I'm not optimistic.

Re: Rugby World Cup warm up games
I think Porter was hard done by. Can't fault his work rate but never given a chance to be an attacking 12. Martin OK as was Genge. Freddie muffed 2 so, glad he's got those out of the way. And how has JvP become so slow? My optimistic side says he's slow because of poor understanding by the squad as to where they are supposed to be and that familiarity will improve it. My pessimistic side sighs, and wanders off in search of a corkscrew.
