"Honestly, can Gareth Davies not see Biggar? He's passed behind him 2 or 3 times and it kills any possibility of attacking " never picked Webb because of his passing what a joke | |||

"Honestly, can Gareth Davies not see Biggar? He's passed behind him 2 or 3 times and it kills any possibility of attacking " Gareth has kicked far too much away He can't box kick well enough to put any pressure at all on the opposition Every time he hoofs it it just gifts them the ball | |||

"Good game but ruined by a shocking sending off! Rees-Zammits a cracking player " You can't drive your shoulder into someone's head at the breakdown however much you moan about it You won't get a clearer red card than those sorts of offences He will pick up a ban aswell for his troubles It isn't the 90s anymore, and intent doesn't come into it | |||

Sheedy will need to be on point with his goalkicking especially if Halfpenny isn't fit/doesn't start "Gareth Davies is a fine rugby player but terrible scrum half. His basics are barely pro standard.

"Tbf, Tompkins played out of position for 50 minutes after Willis came on for Halfpenny "Looked to me like he didn't know what position he was in for the entire match. His marking was terrible and his lack of commitment to the tackle was unforgiveable in a 12 Jersey. | |||

"There were far to many basic errors from experienced players yesterday especially the kicking game we kick far to much ball away then spend periods defending! I thought the bench had a good impact on the game but worrying that we don't have a half back pairing that is any good, Gareth Davies and Biggar are terrible at the moment. " Agree Biggar’s out of form at the moment, and the bench had a much better impact on the game yesterday than I thought, but assuming Halfpenny’s not selected (injury or not) then we can’t risk Sheedy’s goal kicking so they’ll start with Biggar. If Johnny and North are fit we will have an exciting back line. | |||

"Halfpenny is finished but we will struggle with goal kicking, as it looks like Bigger is also. We now have two great wings with Liam at 15, should be the way fwd. Loyd Williams must join the party now but 10 is a big problem. I still fancy bringing Jamie Roberts in alongside George for the England game." Halfpenny hasnt been on form for a while.Defo bring roberts into the centre,has experience and strong in defence. | |||

"Think Foxy might be finished at this level - too many injuries. This is why Picac’s pushing North at 13. | |||

Normal service resumed "In a packed stadium i would be more confident. Cardiff does put the fear of god into England and they rattle easily if you stick it up em early on but behind closed doors and with so many players out of form or true position, not sure where that rattle is going to come from.

Whole backline is a lottery apart from Zammit, Williams and Halfpenny just for his kicking! | |||

"He must be seeing something in jd in training. He seems to have lost a step in pace so not as effective at 13 but he has played 12 a lot so hopefully the gamble pays off. Halaholo on the bench is a good decision as he brings an element of x factor Do happy navidi is back, we need to match their power game " Feel a bit sorry for Wainwright- his face doesn’t seem to fit, but we are blessed in the back row. | |||

I get what you are saying but he did go to the Tmo on Liam Williams try and it doesn't fall solely on his shoulders.
LRZ dropped the ball backwards then it bumped off his hip/thigh
Sanjay try stands
Whinging about the officials shows ignorance
Watch it again
At first glance I thought knock on myself
Watch the replay
The TMO and ref got it 100%right and it was a massive call
Correct they did on that I'm refering to the first try only
Sorry I thought you were referring to Sanjay
If you're referring to Josh Adams try, the referee signaled and blew the whistle for the penalty before DB took the kick, the try was completely legal
The England defence had the same notice that the Wales attack had
Poor game management from England
So the ref telling Farrell to speak to the team, then blow his whistle to start play whilst he is doing so is not bad on the referees part??"He knew the penalty had been awarded before he was asked to speak to his team He took far too long, the ref then signalled again and blew the whistle again before allowing Biggar to take the kick Poor game management by Farrel | |||

And now we can see how much of a liability Itoje is Lions captain material he definitely is not "For a player to give 5 penalties away and not been yellow carded is another mistake by the ref! Zammit knocked the ball forward no doubt about that but I thought the 1st try was fine Biggar hadn't signaled to the posts and until he does you don't turn your back on him whatever the ref is saying. | |||

"France have looked the stronger and more consistent team, but I think a lot will depend on how many of the squad suffered ill effects of Covid and how they’re getting back to fitness. The Scotland game will be a good marker as to how they’re playing. Let’s not forget that Scotland are looking stronger than they have over the last few years and could turn them over.

Can't argue with that. Been an interesting tournament so far. "It’s has, just a shame the crowds couldn’t be at the stadiums. We go to one or two games each year and we had hoped to be in Paris this year Not matter what happens in Paris, the English aren’t lifting the title this year | |||

"Teams out early Gone full stength, good to see to keep momentum Only changes in the starting 15 from England are Hill in the row with AWJ and Gareth in at 9 for the injured Hardy Ball and Lloyd Williams slot in on the bench, with Carre and Wainwright the other 2 bench changes. "Other than maybe giving Sheedy a whole game, I'm happy with that. Keep that momentum going and not taking Italy lightly is the right way to go | |||

Agreed, secure the win, we can always take key players off after that for a rest.

"Is it time for Italy to step aside and give the likes or Georgia a go ?" Problem with Italy is I can't see any way of them improving, and their club sides are the same I watch Zebre and Benetton play week in week out and apart from the occasional win (and Benetton had a strong year a couple of seasons back) they are usually bottom of the table Maybe bringing in a relegation system to the 6N would be an idea I don't know I didn't see an issue with the old 5 Nations myself | |||
