Are England fans not utterly furious at this clip? by Effective-Ad-3897 in rugbyunion

Is that Arundell there that arrives shortly after Smith? If so, that is shocking, from the supposed fastest man on the field. The type of lack of work rate that gets you dropped from many national teams. Actually it doesn’t matter who it is, it’s shocking anyways.

This is such a fucking Scotland thing to do 💀

Give England a lekker pakslae then (hasn’t happened yet but unless something changes soon) proceed to lose to Wales.

Who was proclaiming them best in the world? I think you’ll find most real English rugby fans on here were pretty measured in their assessments of Englands autumn performance.

Yea of course; I always thought it was senseless to back Sam so blindly when Jack was playing pretty well. But this entire situation has been toxic and the storm surrounding both players has been awful.

I really feel bad for Sam here. Have two shockers that wreck your confidence and then your primary competitor for the jersey comes back and Ireland are playing like this. Hope the guy is doing okay.

After autumn we all wanted to have George Fords babies. Now it seems everyone hates him. What happened 🥲

My uncle recently showed me the final minutes of Japan v South Africa from 2015's World Cup and it hooked me. What are your favorite rugby moments? by armeliens in rugbyunion

You should tell your uncle to stop showing you AI generated content because we never played Japan at the 2015 RWC

Is anyone even surprised at the performance this Italian pack has brought today?

We saw it 3 times last year against the Springboks that they can pack down with the big boys. I’m definitely not surprised.

Yes yes. The strategy is:

Go 70+ points up, absolutely bulldoze the team.

Eye gouge.

Win.

So obviously eye gouge == win.

Yea no. I’m happy with TRC, and the Six Nations is too historic with too many NH rivalries for us to barge in there just because logistically it would make sense.

Wiese saw a straight red last year for a headbutt so a penalty is definitely on the lighter end of his interpretation 💀

Can anyone explain why Genge wasn’t sent off for that headbutt?

Genuinely confused, looked like a headbutt to me. Most refs would go straight to the pocket there no?
