Left Back Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Apart from the first 20 I thought we looked comfortable today without being excellent. Some moments of magic from Finn, Huw and big Duhan was more than enough to swat the morris dancers aside though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Kite Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Not long checked the result for this. Three tries is no joke. Going to go and hide in the rugby l***** thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superwell87 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Gutted I missed this due to work. However seeing the look on the face of one of the residents when I told him the score more than made up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Back Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Watched the game back now. When big Duhan said in his interview “I’ve never scored a hat-trick for England”. Great player, love him, but jesus is he a bit thick when he speaks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That decision/non-decision would likely never have been an issue had the penalty decisions been better managed, so I'm not accepting that decision/non-decision as an excuse. Similar thing happened in the Ireland v Wales game today when it was likely that Wales scored a second try at 17-7, but there was no angle that conclusively proved the ball had been grounded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that there was an angle that conclusively proved the ball had been grounded for us v France. And an extra 3 points wouldn’t have won us the game. But the try at the end literally won it. Literally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I think this is a bad take. If the situation is that with 79 minutes on the clock, you need a score to win the match, and you build an attack to the point where one of your players crosses the line and grounds the ball, then you have, very literally done what it required of you to win the match. That an utterly wild sequence of events from the referees denied you that doesn't necessitate this hindsight "should have/could have" nonsense. There's no should or could. We did, and were somehow denied. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I’m still quite annoyed at Wales not scoring near the end and then conceding the bonus point try when they had an extra man. The likelihood is Ireland will beat England with a bonus point and that’s them won the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barclay was asked yesterday if he was over the France game. He replied he was over it in the same way England were over the hand of god goal. When we (probably) lose to Ireland that will put it to bed but occasionally I’ll think “what if the grand slam was on the line?”. I don't blame the French. it was sod all to do with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I honestly think if we beat Italy then Ireland I'll be fucking sick. Imagine we beat Ireland now, after all those losses, then go and lose to them every game for the next ten years? So Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 A minor point, but how the feck was Dan Cole allowed to stay on until the 55th minute when he was clearly bleeding inside the first 5 minutes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
