6 Nations

What a good try. Quick ball, direct running and a decent kick. Now to play with discipline for ten minutes and stifle the life out of the game

Ball just fed straight into the 2nd row - why call for it then not police it !

Love seeing Scotland improving. The 6 Nations is at its best when all teams a challenging. My best 6 Nations nights have been after tight games in Scotland. Edinburgh after a match is one of the best nights out. Have to get back up there again

Greg, would love a few beers and a chance to chew the fat about rugby with you as you come across as a knowledgable guy :thup:

Ouch that doesn't look good

Good post. How do you think you'll get on in the Autumn? Will you be strong enough, even at home?

Hard to say as we've 2 real tough gigs against the Aussies and the Pumas but at home we should give a good account of ourselves.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Nasty looking injury but in the context of the game, good for England to take stock. Hope he's ok, but doesn't look good

Not knowledgeable about much but rugby has always been my life. If I am heading up north for a match I would love to meet for some beers

Grand Slam Winners


:whoo: :whoo:

From chumps in the WC to Grand Slam winners is a great start from Jones

Got to bring on Manu

Great kick :whoo:

Manu would have been the wrong call. He makes big hits but can come out of the line too quick. Stick with the solid defense when you are ahead and get Manu on the Eurostar to play for Tigers tomorrow

England for the Grand Slam then...!😙😙😙

Told you👍👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

A win, but still too many mistakes to threaten the southern hemisphere sides imo. Hopefully though the squad can develop and improve

A fine assessment of a squad that has only had a few weeks with a new coach who was limited to 10 squad changes due to player release rules.

The big hits was the main reason but in the end the man he would have replaced Ford put in some great kicks towards the end.

If they would bring Manu on at 13 I would have said good call but at 12 he can be a liability and that comes from a Tigers man. Give it 6 months and he will be first on the team sheet but not ready yet

centres definitely one area theres big room for improvement, that and the back row. Expect we see a gradual change of personnel in those two areas ahead of next years 6 nations. Slade at 12, Manu at 13?

 

[GB72]

I think Slade and Manu were the plan until injuries. O'Conner in the back row if he can stay fit to show what he can do. Not sure what coaches don't like about Kvesic but a few have looked and said no

 

[GB72]

And Manu is never a 12. No Tuillagi has ever grasped the idea of ball distribution

 

[JT77]

Jones likes to play two 10s though, so as much as I would like to see slade and Manu at centres I'm not sure where Jones will go. It was mentioned in our work chat that Goode could replace brown which would give a second kicking opt to allow Jones to drop one of the 10s, probably Ford.
