I know rubgy players are big guys in the gym all the time but the build on Aki is unreal, I seen many a power lifter not build like that.

We not too hot on it again today, got then pinned in but should tried a few shots at goal on our penalties. Went to the corner a few times and haven't scored and been held up in the tackle a few times.

Definitely shouldn't have.
We needed the bonus point.

Yes today was as much about getting the Bonus point as it was about the win.

Did ireland really need the bonus point? Without it they'd still be 2 points ahead? England win, France maybe get a losing bonus point, happy days?? Maybe I'm missing something

First time looking England to win, what's wrong with me ahhh!

In the unlikely event of a France draw + bonus point, that would overhaul a 2 point difference.

C'mon the bit of the scoreboard that is not beside the word France

I still want France to stuff them even though it'll cost us the championship. It's win win though because if England do it we have the consolation of the championship.

England get done at the breakdown here ffs

Solo_run · March 19, 2022, 08:23:46 PM

England have no interest in winning this game. That is already obvious

He is only there now for the pay. If they changed manager now England would be serious contenders for the world cup. They always have that intense first season with new managers and it takes teams a while to figure them out.

They should keep Jones

France are a serious outfit I don't think many teams could live with them the kind of mood they're in this evening!

Captain Obvious · March 19, 2022, 08:48:20 PM

To the surprise of nobody the English are doing Ireland no favours

England giving them a free ride at the breakdown to be honest. Also is a Shaun Edwards team ever onside it was the same when he was with Wales with the rush defense it's offside all match.
