He was alright, probably doesn’t help that Slade is outside him. Probably would be better with more of a runner like Lawrence than another playmaker.

If ifs and ands were pots and pans,Scott1 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 5:15 pmNo,that's why I said not aimed at you. But if we can use the injuries and new players you can use the new coach excuse for Italy and at times they looked more well drilled than us. Seems some England and Leicester fans at times always have excuses ,that was my point. Not aimed at you in particular
They'd be no more work for tinkers hands.
I think we'd all be more satisfied IF Daly hadn't made that trip and left us exposed wide. Job done and we were more than 7 in front when we scored seven.
I don't think it's an excuse to point at the newbies regarding a win that wasn't as big as expected. Let's face it, some of the newbies did better than some of the Stalwarts.
Throw Martin, Smith, Lawrence, and Genge into that mix and it's a different game.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Really like the Scots' back play. What is their backs / attack coach doing post 6N?
Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Yes I am, sory I just cannot learn to love him, he is just one of those players that bug me. I must try harder, but game not over yet I'm still expecting him to do something stupid.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 5:23 pmYou watching Scotland?LE18 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 3:15 pmSorry to disagree, Russells a liability.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 10:59 am It’s difficult to argue against the Irish XV with Russell at 10 though being the only change

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Compare and contrast Van Der Merwer 's try against the play of England wingers.
Total belief he can make the line. No faffing about.
We need our England backs to have that depth of self belief.

I used to sit near a stalker and we want him back "kick for the corner!!!!"

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
No... I genuinely like how the Scottish backs are playing.
Or maybe I am just to used to how our backs play...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Sorry. I wasn’t trying to be clever! I bet it has a lot to do with Townsend though, and he unfortunately won't love to us just to be an attack coach.
The Scottish forwards, however, are getting battered atm....
