Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Is there a more useless ever present in international rugby than Daly? He is good at tackling ghosts though I suppose

England digging their own grave with the comedy mistakes and the Furbank and Daly comedy duo!! Picking the usual suspects and that’s Cole included is not building for the future!

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
at least with Cole you can argue the other tightheads aren't ready, same cannot be said for Daly
Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
England is like watching tigers atm, basic passes not sticking, basic passes being dropped in good positions after doing the hard work.
Have to question whether England have the skills/players to play the type of game they’re looking to play.
As a purist I think I’d prefer the tighter/set piece style that borthwick normally prefers

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
By and large think England have played well, especially in the pack. Just some awful moments in the backs have let Scotland back in the game.
Why play Daly on the wing when you’ve got Furbank at 15. Lawrence has been really poor too. If he’s not had long enough in camp just play Dingwall.

Furbank may or may not have a slight edge on Freddie offensively, but defensively Freddie is on a whole different level.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Oh dear - Daly, Fairbank and Lawrence have been poor. Lawrence can’t catch a cold. Fairbank can attack but can’t defend. Which must be depressing for the forwards who have been dominant.
And Dan Cole needs reporting to the ABC club. Chasing down kicks and running like a 21 year old winger

Danny Care doesn't work as a starting Scrum half at this level he is always far better off the bench

Slade being hurt is a problem, Feyi-Waboso might get more than 30 seconds this week

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat
Not sure England have looked clinical enough to come back from this.
Not threatened the try line since early in the first half
