RWC warmup - Ireland v England
-
@Mr-Fish if he hasn't been selected, it shouldn't, but we know it's all lip service anyway.
Just a circus side show after WRs judicial process has been shown to be flawed.
Farrell is a shit for not sorting out what is clearly an issue, although given he keeps getting away with it, why would he, but he also shouldn't have to deal with the side show.
Is somewhat ironic that his dad coaches Ireland, who would have to have one of the more disciplined defences in the game...

That's the way it works for every comp though...
If a bit-part Super player gets a three-week ban, it's not like he misses the whole season just because he would normally never get selected.

If I was England's coach during a heated RWC match I'd be concerned. RWC refs are not going to be lenient.

Strong Ireland starting side, only really Doris from who will start at RWC, and he's on the friggen bench.
Can't see this current England iteration troubling them too much
And Johnny Sexton.
-
That was way too easy. England look like they are having tea in the park.
-
England kicking game is shite. Attack is one-dimensional.
Forwards doing OK.
-
No appetite for the game amongst England players. Dont know if this is playing to script or whether they just dont want any injuries.
-
Missing touch from a penalty, then dropping the return kick. England look at 6 & 7's when they have an opportunity.
-
Way too easy for Ireland as Ringrose scores. England look tired and a little bit shit.
-
Ireland are cms from blowing this game wide open
-
England on the canvas already. Feel for the England fans. Know mates at work are apoplectic. Most want Borthwick to go. I think the malaise runs deeper than just him though.

It's the Eddie Jones factor - every team he coaches seems to end up being an empty husk by the time he's sacked.
How many players has he actually developed in his time as coach?

Line of the Day from my missus
Simon Zebo looks like Colin Farrell with a spray tan

These warmup games are really boring. Switched across to Tottenham vs MU to be honest.
-
Jeez, there's some comical stuff from England under pressure.
-
O'Mahoney is having a great game. By contrast Vunipola looks old.
-
George Ford looks fucked

RC Billy

Systemic shithousery
