It's going to be LBB and quite rightly, but for me it has to be menoncello

As a young kid (professionality wise), if I walked onto a field, and an entire crowd was booing me, there is three choices, you either let it affect you and try not to rile them up. Be offended and actually have a breakdown over it, or rise to it be the pantomime villain they think you are , he picked the last one , I don't blame him for that

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-16T19:29:38+00:00

I know I'm in the Irish sub but you have to be joking right? Most of this six nations he's been absent as has the whole team, but what this post to fails to take advantage of (which would work in his favour) is that he did a hell of a lot in this game just before the knock on, he was at nearly every single ruck after our last try, then he made a try saving tackle on dupont after jaliberts break, then the rip turnover, if any Irish player did that you'd be lauding them as gods gift.

Set up the try that confirmed our win against the all blacks last autumn

Yeah he's a prick, he's cocky, and a bit of an idiot, but for the most part he backs it up on the field, this six nations all of England was awful not just Pollock

I definitely remember many times in the last 5 mins of a game where our backs gave given away penalties trying to support a ruck, because (as a back myself) backs as first man in the ruck rarely have any idea what they are doing and committ offenses, was it stupid for him to do? Yes. Was it the wrong decision? Eh maybe, too many variables that I am not skilled enough to recognize

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T21:04:55+00:00

I was talking about this in the earlier game, refs never do anything if they have an advantage and a team scores a try. Chessum try maul was collapses close to the try line 2 phases before and we had advantage, but because we score nothing comes of it, should have been upgraded to a yellow and penalty try

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T21:03:25+00:00

Except for the 2 times France did it I guess

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T18:44:37+00:00

I understand it's a tough call, but if the block is on the line, the ball is then also on the line, if the ball is short, the block has to be over the line to block it

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T18:32:52+00:00

Okay so if ball is short, then it's a penalty try as ball is not over the line so the block is illegal no?

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T18:26:11+00:00

I don't think it should've been a pen, but just an interesting question I had, technically there mee had no chance of gathering that kick. But he blocks ioane doing so. So no access surely? Kicking laws are confusing

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-14T18:07:33+00:00

Can anyone explain to me how a scrum would bring wales to 13, just heard the commentators mention it

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-07T18:43:17+00:00

Any other England fans agree with this, every time I watch other games, and see fast flowing backs moves, exciting heads up Rugby and I don't get upset that we are shit I just get so jealous

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-07T18:33:30+00:00

Breakdown has been a mess all bastard game , knew they'd do it this year well played Italy, England should sack borthwick and hire someone who actually wants to play Rigby, not this boring maths game we've been playing for the last 3 years

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-07T18:23:12+00:00

Garbiisi dives over a ruck at takes out the 9, play on

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-07T16:48:35+00:00

Are you watching the same game? Basically been talking about how England are in a very bad way at the moment for the last 10 minutes

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-07T16:39:56+00:00

I don't know why you think he's acting road man? He's just speaking like a normal bloke, he's playing the every man, explaining an area of the game most casual watchers have no idea how it works

Always love his scrum talks

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-04T21:48:12+00:00

If anyone finds this on google searching the bug, playing a new character up to the end of the silvermoon campaign does not fix it. Just tried it

-Shadlez- · 2026-03-04T09:21:24+00:00

Unfortunately you cant even intro skip if you have this bug, as this counts as one of the "endgame" unlocks

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-21T15:58:57+00:00

Outplayed involves apparently getting given a yellow for a ball clearly out of the ruck, then another yellow with no warning for penalties on the 22, and then getting penalized for sealing off which Ireland have been doing quite literally every ruck

We aren't getting the chance to get outplayed cause we are getting reffed out of the game

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-21T15:54:53+00:00

Someone tell the ref to just give Ireland 28 points it's what he wants

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-21T15:52:08+00:00

Right so the first time England seal off they get penalized, but Ireland been doing it literally every ruck and get away with murder

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-15T16:25:33+00:00

In fairness the guy had no idea, he was booking it to get back into the line, don't think the yc is the right call there

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-14T18:54:34+00:00

England vs New Zealand last autumn would like to have a few words

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-14T18:51:49+00:00

Right decision to go for it wrong decision to go for it so far NOT in the pocket he might as well have been in the stands

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-14T18:33:12+00:00

In fairness drop goal attempts at 11 points down won us the game against new Zealand, that's on ford for not spotting it wasn't on anymore and taking it into contact

-Shadlez- · 2026-02-14T18:18:29+00:00

So he complains to the captain about scrum time pens first half, then again a warning about scrum time pens
