The Rugby Thread

Don't know where this England team have been hiding for the past 3 rounds!

[Buzzo]

Disastrous from us. On the back foot from the first minute.

And we've had to use the bench already. We've got Ali Price on the wing.

The second half could be brutal for us.

Enjoyed this

[ChesterDave]

61-21

Don't think many would have honestly expected that!

[Buzzo]

Brutal.

We started poorly and didn't get a foothold.

I think we will learn a lot from today, it's a young team who are developing. We lacked the game management Laidlaw gives us at scrum half.

But the best team won.

**** knows what state we are in for next week with 4 concussions, can't see any of them being allowed to play.

Cmon the Irish...!

Johnny Wilkinson made a good point post match; when you go down a score and things aren't going well you need to re-group and make sure you have a solid 5 minutes to regain composure. Scotland never managed to do that today.

They were also a bit unlucky that everything worked for England from the start. If Joseph hadn't run clean through the first time, England would have probably gone wide next time but because it went so well it gave them the confidence to keep exploiting a bit of indecision in the Scottish midfield.

TBH I hope we didn't score all our points today, fingers crossed we have some left in the tank for next week because Ireland away (with nothing to play for except pissing on our parade) is going to be a heck of a test.

Decision to be made now

Yellow.

I'm glad he didn't get sent off but I was a bit surprised he wasn't. I've seen reds given for more innocuous tip tackles than that one.

Jesus that ****in Webb for Wales. Sneaky, dirty ******* and a face you'd never get sick of slapping.

Absolutely love him for it. Exactly the sort of bellend you love having on your side. A sneaky dirty little gob****e in a similar way to Bellamy for us.

[Red_Polo]

Some kick from Halfpenny, that.

Haven't really been watching to now, how's the game been?

[Red_Polo]

Absolutely love him for it. Exactly the sort of bellend you love having on your side. A sneaky dirty little gob****e in a similar way to Bellamy for us.

Mike Phillips wasn't far different too, loved that narky little tosser

There's something about that sort of irritant, pest like player that I love. I never used to but Carragher, Bellamy and Suarez all had it and I think I grew to admire it

[badpiggy]

You're right, ya know I'm not there with him yet, though. He's a rugby cunt so that might be a step too far for me.

[RichC]

Wayne Barnes show yet again

[Red_Polo]

Absolutely ****ing farcical finish to that game thanks to Barnes. Best part of 20 minutes dicking about with the scrum, confusion about who is entitled to be on, Wales with about 3 forwards on the pitch, fake head injury assessment from France, George North looks to have been bitten but the TMO can't see it, final whistle should've gone at least TWICE, stop the scrum the 4th official has something to say oh no he doesn't, and then France finally go over and finish the most obscene idiot period of rugby ever seen.

[Red_Polo]

Oh and someone binned after 80minutes managed to get back on, I mean ****ing seriously
