6N 2022 : England v Wales

MiketheSnow

Fuck we’re thick as shit

MiketheSnow

It’s amazing we can still run the amount of times we’ve shot ourselves in the foot

England 9-0 Wales
31 long fucking minutes gone

MajorRage

Not seen much but Smith is the real deal.

MiketheSnow

How the fuck we’re only 12-0 down at the half with Liam Williams in the bin for 10 mins says more about England than us.

France would be 30 points clear by now

England 12-0 Wales
Halftime

MiketheSnow

Shit line out throw from Elias

Again

But it looked like Beard was hip checked out

Great finish from Dombrandt

England 17-0 Wales
46 mins

Billy Tell

Smith looks really good at 10. Reminds me of Carter the way he plays flat at the line.

MiketheSnow

Fantastic pressure from Wales

Sublime pass from Tomos Williams to put Adams in

England 17-5 Wales
55 mins

MiketheSnow

All Wales at the moment

Tompkins in

England 17-12 Wales
62 mins

Despite how shit and stupid we’ve been, England are there for the taking

Crazy

MiketheSnow

Fantastic pressure kick from Smith after dumb Welsh play

England 20-12 Wales
68 mins

MiketheSnow

Another corking kick from Smith after stupid play from Beard

England 23-12 Wales
72 mins

MiketheSnow

Hardy in

England 23-19 Wales
Full time

Wales didn’t deserve to win despite scoring three tries to one

Shit set play when it mattered
Shit ball retention and ruck protection when it mattered

England do not look like they can score a try in the backs despite having so much quick, go forward ball

Real worry for Eddie

Billy Tell

Ref didn’t ref the breakdown very well. Don’t think cuthbert was given the chance to release when he was penalised for holding on for example.

I only watched the last 15 mins. The ref bottled it by not giving Lawes a YC. As we saw last year the NH refs are soft on deliberate knock-ons.

He reminded me of a student teacher trying to impose his authority on an unruly classroom.

England have all the tools to be really good but keep finding new and inventive ways to hamstring themselves.

Plenty of fight from Wales. Cuthbert was really good!

I think Courtney Lawes is my favourite player right now.

My takes after late watch

Neither attack was anything but pedestrian. Foster's looks better
Marcus Smith is overrated, need be good at sevens.
Tomos pass for the first Welsh try was pure sex

Ireland and France are much better sides

For an ex-player, Adamson is a complete fucking peasant when it comes to refereeing.

I think @barbarian said it best after ?Boks v ABs in Townsville? - some of these UK refs have a massive boner for penalising the attacking side at the ruck

I think he's just seen as The Second Coming because he's not boring like many of their 10s. He's got the core skills and ambition to be good, but yeah for now he's talked up far now than he deserves.

How he got MOTM over Cuthbert or itoje I'll never know
