6N 2022 : England v Wales
-
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 -
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 -
Smith looks really good at 10. Reminds me of Carter the way he plays flat at the line.
-
Fantastic pressure from Wales
Sublime pass from Tomos Williams to put Adams in
England 17-5 Wales
55 mins -
All Wales at the moment
Tompkins in
England 17-12 Wales
62 minsDespite how shit and stupid we’ve been, England are there for the taking
Crazy
-
Fantastic pressure kick from Smith after dumb Welsh play
England 20-12 Wales
68 mins -
Another corking kick from Smith after stupid play from Beard
England 23-12 Wales
72 mins -
Hardy in
England 23-19 Wales
Full timeWales 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 matteredEngland do not look like they can score a try in the backs despite having so much quick, go forward ball
Real worry for Eddie
-
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.

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

Marcus Smith is overrated, need be good at sevens.
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
-
@nta yeah he's certainly not bad. But all his faffing around just gives defences time to organize. He did make one break, but that's it for all his sideways running and goose steps. He didn't really steer his team at all, their attack was pathetic. Place kicked well enough but otherwise, not that great

They managed to set up 3 excellent forward runs in a row at one stage - fast rucks and crisp delivery, but it came to nothing once the ball went wide.
