Has no one told Farrell that we need 4 tries?

[anonymous-user]

Not enjoying this.

[JonChalk]

Ford's playing 10, isn't he?

But the point's valid.

The bonus point is for kicking 4 penalties isn't it?

[LivingTheDream]

Jon - Farrell is captain - and choosing to take 3 rather than field position and line out. Even from 55 metres.

We might (and I mean might) win the game but we’ll have lost the 6N

No worries - it’s so frustrating to watch!!!

[Joey Ramone]

This is turgid.

[spikeyhead]

That wasn't good watching. We so need a real number 7.

We also need four tries, but at the moment we haven't managed four phases without giving away a penalty at a ruck

[Bonefish Blues]

Was just woken up by Amazon delivery man.

[LivingTheDream]

Oh dear

[PhilboSE]

So all you need to do is throw yourself horizontal in the tackle and you can get a yellow card given against the tackler.

What on earth was Watson supposed to do in that situation?

[Joey Ramone]

God, England are awful. They look like they've just met each other.

Jones won't admit it, but his World Cup plans are unravelling in front of him. His team have to think their way out of this mess sharpish.

Not put his arm round the Frenchies neck

[LivingTheDream]

I’ll say that again

Oh dear

[JonChalk]

The only way I will forget (but, maybe not forgive) this shoddy, sub-par performance is if EJ uses it to make changes and gets us to at least SF in World Cup, otherwise if this game does not improve, it will be one of our least impressive performances for a long time.

[MiniMan64]

Not clothesline him?

Doesn't matter. The tackle that prevented he French player from scoring was around the neck. Straight yellow and PT all day long.

He was in the right place, he was going in low for a tackle and the Frenchie goes horizontal. The only way you can avoid that is just stand off to let him walk over your line.
