Aye it was, we just never got going or into an sort of game plan like the earlier games. Looking at Wales remaining fixtures in the hope they are in Dublin last game. They’re not. Quote
bolty58 Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Didn't seem able to change it up when the Taffs negated the kicking game. Quote
MalcolmW Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Two major factors, Biggar coming on and England subbing one lock just before the other got crocked. Quote

Me neither, though home advantage may, hopefully, play a part. They've still got to play Ireland haven't they? If so there's a chance for Ireland to still win the competition, which would be helpful to England. Quote
Escobarp Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Spending my Saturday afternoon at Murrayfield this afternoon praying for a favour. They have the attacking ability to beat the welsh 100% so I certainly wouldn’t rule it out Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Do you know the words to flower of Scotland? Quote
Escobarp Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Majority although have never and would never sing it myself Quote
Matt Lofthouse Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Think they’ve lost the last 10 games against the Welsh. Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Come on Ireland. No backstop today. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Switched off. Just like the Wales performance. Farrell typified this in both games. Too much kicking for me too. Quote

bolty58 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Without doubt the most bizarre game of international rugby I have ever seen. Someone was on about axing the coach in another thread and I defended him. I am beginning to believe that I am wrong. The mentality was completely wrong and we would have no chance of getting anywhere near the WC final on what I saw today. Quote

I missed a great game of rugby to watch our shower of shite, bad call was that. I see the the celts colluded so we didn’t win the tournament. World Cup is what really matters.

MalcolmW Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 One aspect not much considered (and I've not seen/heard anywhere) was the role of Hamish Watson. He was the breakthrough man last season but broke a hand(?) in November and missed the early matches. After one (losing) game for Edinburgh he was on the bench the following week against Wales last week and made a real impact as sub. Yesterday he was on for the full game. No match for Curry in the early stages he was more influential as the game progressed, and pretty well matched Nowell for pace once when under pressure - no mean feat. Watson originates from Knutsford, as do his (non-playing)brothers, Hector and Angus. [I'm pretty sure his dad is Scottish] Quote

MickyD Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Typical! I take a look on WW whilst MrsD watches shit on telly and I'm confronted with a bloke pissing on a wanking bloke... just as MrsD looks over. Quote
