RWC warmup - England v Fiji
-
If I was a selector, Ludlam would never play for England again. How can the fluffybunny be that happy at losing?

Sonja
What a fucking bitch?
She really thinks she’s asking insightful questions but it’s more like your form teacher at school giving you a row for forgetting your homework
-
She’s absolutely horrible. A troll. I really wish the broadcasters would stop using her.
-
I love the way all Hartley could say was watch out Wales
If Wales lose it won’t be because we’re shit and couldn’t score in a brothel
Accurate kicking
Accurate line out
Complete at every Fiji line out
Good defensive line
Take every point when it’s availableWales win

This could only have been bettered if Farrell and Billy were both playing and Eddie was still coaching
Imagine that presser
-
Firing Eddie looks at the moment like a terrible mistake by the RFU.
-
I’d forgotten that when he was asked for his Man of the Match, Dylan Hartley waffled on about his mate Courtney Lawes for ages before getting around to any of the heroic Fijians. 🤣
-
Feel a bit sorry for Lawes on his 100th cap, who I think always seemed one of the more likable England players, but what a great win for Fiji. Some sloppy handling errors aside, they had some great attacks and very good support play. England was just ugh.
And Peyper can suck a dick with that England maul around 65 minutes or so, that was stationary for a good 15 seconds you fucktard.
-
Said it before and I will say it again. Allowing so many foreign players to play in the domestic leagues (since the 80s) and you run the risk of being outfoxed, out thought and outplayed as England were today. They should have set caps/limits on foreign player numbers much earlier.

Ach. A well deserved win go Fiji and well played. This Fijian side are no mugs, far from it. Good skills, athleticism as always but now with fitness, discipline and coaching.
England started brightly but when put under possession pressure, went back into the dour, one out runners. So predictable and so easy to defend. Some weird substitutions. Not sure where
Smith was supposed to be playing but it didn’t look like fullback. And subbing Mitchell, wtf for? To have yet another look at Care?As a team were are symmetrical. No shape in attack. No shape in defence.
We are… bereft.
-
Feel for you
It’s crazy
You have the personnel
Shit coaching

Hartley must be one of the least insightful and most inane co-commentators around. When asked to analysed what was wrong with England at one stage, he replied ‘some of those players are my friends.’
That could be an unwittingly accurate insight...

Fuck off Jaco and TMO
Stitch up
Nah. I thought he was offside at first, but the replay had him in line, or not clearly in front.
Needs a third viewing but I thought Smith's foot was in front of the kicker BUT their bodies probably level on balance of probability.

@Kirwan Doesn't really matter as it goes down in the record books as England v Fiji irrespective of who was fielded by each team. Not Fiji's fault if Engand might not have had their best/preferred lineup against them. Anyway who is to say that the Flying Fijians would not have beaten that mob even with Farrell and Vunipoila etc lined up against them.
