I think these apply to six Nations games only, pretty impressive
Hamish Watson. What an absolute champ. Even though I suspect this is absolute bullshit the fact they used him as a poster boy for not missing tackles just warms the heart.

@machpants in isolation that's impressive but hard to believe. No way you can make 160 tackles without missing one. I feel like this is one of those rugby stats that only means anything if combined with like two other stats and the eye test.
Maybe it's while at training.
On tackle bags.
Come on, surely everyone has had that coach that would occasionally whisk the tackle bag out of the way just as you dive?

Well if you had a face like that you'd want to hide it as often as possible.
Caveat: If you HAVE got a face like that I meant no disrespect.

Hurt it in training, an innocuous event. Practising going down like a wet balloon, probably

Grégory Alldritt set the tournament alight, France v Ireland was a showstopper, and no one foresaw Italy’s defeat of Wales

Why the Six Nations coverage is an embarrassment to year-round rugby fans
The problems with rugby media and questions of meritocracy. There are many things which make the Six Nations Championship great. The rivalry, the passion, the competition. Rugby fans all over the w…

@daffy-jaffy that's an ad for BT right? Cotter is the best rugby commentator in the world right now IMO. Prime and Premier have been pretty ordinary in my experience.

Agreed. Think it’s his English side coming to the fore. 😀

How 'loved' Ellis Genge tactic ultimately left sour England taste
Ellis Genge was the second on the list for metres made by England players in Paris but there was a downside to the prop running ball back.
-
Did you watch the Hamilton/Goode podcast on the game? That article gets the gist of it but the detail was more telling. Goode was scathing about England. He cited a clueless attack and disorganised defence and laid both squarely on the coaches. Hard to disagree. Apart from kick and chase could you discern England’s attack plan? Fucked if I could.
-
@catogrande haven't read the article yet. Thought the Genge tactic made for a fun watch, certainly created confusion and like I said during the game - worked in isolation, looked great! But then you look at the rest of what was going on and it seemed pretty gimmicky and not well thought through - everything after Genge smashing it up and making a couple of yards was dysfunctional and/or disorganised.
