yardy Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Game over, great defence from Wales....Ireland have had lots of possession in the last 20mins and Wales stood firm and got the deserved win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just watch them destroy Scotland and retain the six nations championship. Now England are number two in the world behind the All Blacks. What a fantastic job the coach Eddie Jones have done. Eighteen months ago we were humiliated in our own World Cup and we were a shambles of a team. So England got rid of an under preforming head coach and appointed a top class experience and proven coach who is his own man and transformed the team and its fortunes with the same group of players. Bristol City have some quality players and like the England Rugby back in 2015 are preforming way below their individual abilities, so what should Bristol City do, answers on a post card.

Nomad Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I think LJ should adopt the Jones methodology - it's all about the "finishers" don't you know. The starting team means nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Given how we'd played up until today I actually thought they'd turn us over. No danger of that though, awesome performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 We had a friendly bet as to the points difference between the two sides and everyone went for a 10 point or under England win. I got a resounding "no way" when I said 20 points.......and I don't know much about the finer points of rugby.... England were very,very good yesterday. Quick line ball, great gap running and a mighty powerful bunch of forwards. The Jocks were overwhelmed. Beat Ireland next week to beat the All Blacks record run of victories.

Super Posted March 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes the record would be great but they havent played the best team on the planet. England are improving but still some way to go. Encouraging though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can carry on beating everyone on the way there we'll be feared by everyone except maybe the All Blacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Given the team I'd pick for the test matches in NZ I'd consider renaming the 'British and Irish Lions' as 'The England Rugby Team And Guests'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think WG has some very good players from all the home nations to choose from, traditionally it's getting the balance right,. Still it's a massive ask at the end of a hard season to go to NZ And take them on when they're 2/3 months into theirs?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Gatland will stick with as many Welshman as possible no doubt... look at the 50/50 decisions for places in the whole squad and I'm willing to bet the majority of the time he'll go with a Welshman. FWIW with a week left I think my lions team would look like this Mako Best Furlong A.W.Jones Launchbury Stander Tipuric Billy Murray Sexton Daly Farrell Davies North Hogg 5 Englishmen 5 Irishmen 4 Welshmen And a Scotsman Places of contention - A.W.Jones, could be any of Lawes, Itoje or the Gray brothers, Davies could be replaced by Joseph, and Hogg I could see Gats going with Halfpenny and Williams over Daly. So really it is a fairly split team in terms of nationality in the 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have if the all blacks hadn't demanded £3m to play against England, considering the RFU knows Twickenham will fill unsurprising they chose someone else.

Notice how a lot of England's recent performances have gotten better when Hartley goes off and George comes on, George would be my sub hooker tbh, good option coming off the bench and has shown he can have an impact.
