    Don't think I will ever understand the rules of this sport. Is it not a knock on when it hits the chest of LRZ and bounces on the floor? I thoght anything above the knee counted?
    Football without Origi is nothing

      Disastrous performance from England. Even with the generous try. I wonder if the pressure will start to mount on EJ, some of these issues are longstanding and with the pool of talent England have should not be an recurring issue. He seems to have his core group of favourite players and nobody else gets a look in.

      Discipline was awful in both the game vs Scotland and today vs Wales. You’ll never win test matches giving away that many pens.

        Massively undercooked but when you pick players that haven’t played a minute of club rugby this season what do you expect ?

        No fan of Jones and certainly his love in with the Sarries players is crazy, result today again is what was deserved even with the utterly mental ref display

          I don’t know what Jones is thinking at all?

          He literally refuses to change his team, even his squad and the potential to give the likes of the Simmonds brothers caps this tournament is a massive missed opportunity. Itoje was on the edge today. Some borderline decisions going against him, but his approach was getting himself and England into more and more trouble.

            Never wanted him and don’t really like his antics.

            We were dreadful again and picking the same players over and over again what else at the moment could you expect ? There is some massive talent in the side but they’re not there at the moment, playing the “tried and tested” is a bit of a kop out really and he needs to be called on it

              maybe they should re-write the Laws just to suit Maro. He IS a great player. But this is ridiculous.

              After Maro Itoje gave away five penalties in England’s 40-24 defeat to Wales, Eddie Jones argued that “referees tend to over-referee” the lock because of his quality and style of play.

                Classic France - on the cusp of something great with a fantastic crop of players and a coach who seems in harmony with them, they go and shoot themselves in the foot ......he’ll surely get sacked?

                  It’s a nightmare scenario for us as we don’t have control over player release for about 10 players out with designated 6Ns weekends. To know this was all so they could go and eat waffles

                    Scotland should have been given the points and may well do now the real reason is known

                      That’s a totally imperfect solution also. If we go on to do well then it will always be*

                      You are right about one thing, it’s very French to have ballsed this up. Given it was the French Government that was creating such a fuss about the safety of the tournament.

                      Maybe they should have all their results removed? But that hands Wales the Slam. (Though it seems the refs are pretty much doing that anyway).

                        I’ve not been as invested in the tournament this season - only saw the Irish games v Wales and France........mad how Wales won the triple crown. We should have beaten them with 14 players

                          So should we. We came close.

                          They’ve played against 14 twice and had two incredibly generous try’s handed to them vs England.

                          Have you seen the first try yet. It’s so dodgy I actually felt sympathy for Owen Farrell FFS
