The Rugby Thread

I wish the BBC could get rid of Guscott and replace him with Wilkinson.

I was about to say how the actual fuck they missed that as a forward pass, but eventually...

 

[talkshowhost86]

Lol.

That Scotland game still sore.

No not really. He's recognised by all as the best ref at the moment.

And I say this as someone who has seen him spend an entire game fucking Quins over.

Not everything is about national bias boyo

 

[StockSpur]

It's my opinion, you can have yours.

 

[talkshowhost86]

No idea what that penalty was for but we'll take it.

Wayne wouldn’t have seen it.

Ok

Recognised by all

Clearly the best.

This is where you’re wrong. Both are regarded as elite level refs.

I don't know how much stuff you read about the refs but to be fair it is genuinely recognised he's the best ref around at the moment.

You do realise you can't support a ref because of his nationality right?

 

[mpickard2087]

No improvement at the breakdown so far, England have almost got isolated on several occasions..... It's not just the backrow, as a collective there seems to be a real problem with rucks and supporting the ball carrier and cleaning out.

By who?

 

[E17yid]

What a minute. England giving away pens at the break down and Nigel Owens isn’t the ref. Who’d have thought it.

Agreed. Not quite sure what we're doing wrong but something needs to change

 

[teok]

England completely amateur hour at the breakdown still. What have they been doing for the last 2 weeks in training?

Nobody ever said we gave away penalties just because of the ref.

This entire thread in the last few pages has been about how we know we have problems.

I know accepting your limitations isn't something Wales understand but don't put your issues on us.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Elliot Daly is a fucking legend.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Bad news with Billy off.

Simmonds might be useful at the breakdown though.

I’m not the one saying ridiculous stuff like Wayne Barnes is clearly the best and recognised by all as the best.

I don’t think you’ll find many players, pundits and journalists saying that but I’ll wait for your list of everyone to read later. Will take me a long time to read it I’m sure.

I keep calling Hughes Billy.

I promise I'm not racist about no 8s.

 

[werty]

Don't understand England going for 3 when they need a bonus point.
