So we are out but we start with a 37 year old even though he has two tries tonight how does that help for the future.Something seriously wrong with England management
In all fairness his guile and experience of multiple world cups might not be bad to have around for the others to learn from. Clearly he's not a long term prospect but if everybody is young/ or a bit green or just plain rugby dumb (Haskell) then who do they learn from, who sets standards.

I'd say Englands management is its own issue!

Dull, predictable and not very effective from England.

I'd never get fed up of punching young Farrels face.

The use of the word 'fazlet' only makes it worse grumpy

can anyone answer this for me,

Nowell wears a scrum cap,
Nowell plays winger,

since when did wingers get put in the scrum and need scrum caps?

but then again 1/2p wears one but he doesn't look as much a fanny and seems to get stuck into a ruck.

You have to love Uruguay though - they look like a bunch of blokes that you'd find in most gyms, pretty fit but not professional athletes.

Well I like them anyway, they have a lot of heart smile

Got to be tough for England to get fired up for this match really.

Win and it's a disastrous World Cup. Don't win and it's a disastrous World Cup. Some players and staff facing the sack, everyone facing a bit of an autopsy after its all finished and now having to save some pride or your place by playing some part timers you're expected to thrash.

Haskell is annoying me... And I'm one of the few people who like him.

Pleased to see Slade get that. Farrell's kicking looks a bit off.

Wearing a scrumcap makes you at least 20% better and faster as a winger.

FACT!

ETA; Oh look - England's obviously best centre scores a try when they finally pick him. Who would've thought?

You watch a game like this and realise just how st Robshaw really is as a '7'.

Honestly, what were the management thinking?

France Ireland tomorrow ought to be good. Might give the Namibia game a miss. Not sure I've watched three games in a day before.

This game has been a bit flat and pointless but the other two today were fantastic.

Maybe he found one in lost property and it was cheaper than getting a haircut. wink



When I was young enough to run round a pitch you were considered soft wearing one as a forward. I've no idea if it helps prevent concussion but I wouldn't blame a winger for wearing one these days - the wingers are a lot bigger than I remember them being.
