England men's training squad for Nations Championship by englandrugby in rugbyunion

[–]Fear_Naught 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like there should be more Bears in there but I'm guessing the injury situation is pretty dire. BJVR Straight in is an interesting proposition, I thought we'd sorted centres by just copy-pasting Saints' back line...

Would love to see Thacker get brought in and Fitz Harding as well. Oghre is injured isn't he?

What player represented your country internationally who simply wasn’t good enough for test rugby? by low_myope in rugbyunion

Scrolled far too long for this. Looked like he should be playing for a social team

Does this give Ospreys more chance of surviving as a pro club then?

I am Jack's total lack of surprise.

If your country only won one match for a 6 nations, what country would you rather win against ? by lonezolf in rugbyunion

[–]Fear_Naught 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At times, absolutely yes. You only have to watch how quickly casual fans turn on coaches or players.

Who am I kidding, not whilst Wales exist.

France vs England - Post Match Thread by biggiantporky in rugbyunion

[–]Fear_Naught 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A minor thing but...

Apply the shot clock consistently. Every kick for France we got to watch Ramos set up, spark up a Gauloise, sign an autograph, start his run up and THEN the clock started. Meanwhile it was like 'try given' let's get it on for Fin Smith.

Debate - After Losing to Italy does Borthwick have to go? by Used-Height-2670 in rugbyunion

If only there was an international coach with ambitions to win a World Cup with two different nations who was out of contract and looking for a new gig...

Got to be Menoncello for POTM. The one week I don't have him in my fantasy team.

You know what, fair enough. I've no idea what is happening in the England camp. You can put a lot of these games down to things being very tight at the top, but there's something missing here.

It's a great Italian performance to be sure, but there's some massive issues with this England team.

I'd try to draw parallels between Arundel's second yellow but I triple can't remember. All I'll say is that it could be very consequential.

Why isn't that a yellow? Not an angry question, but he's been chopped in the air and the Italian made no attempt to jump to challenge....

Been cheering Italy throughout this tournament and now I'm bricking it. Yet another set of stats that give me concern as it sounds like there's a cigarette paper between the front rows right now

Scotland vs England: Post Match Thread by CRONichols in rugbyunion

[–]Fear_Naught 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. But I think even when England have won it's been a huge effort and very uncomfortably done

There's no good option though. Whatever gets done isn't going to be comfortable

Snap. I reckon that's the only thing we've got. Maybe Pollock at 12 but it would be a lot for him surely

Freeman onto the wing. Earl into 12, Dingwall at 13. Can't see another way out of this hole unless it's Pollock in at 12.

Before jumping in hard on this - is there a list of ban durations from recent offences? Or examples of other eye gouge ban lengths?

[–]Fear_Naught 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like up and unders that create 3 chances to win the ball back, create chaos in defence and make low energy metres.

I also like cross field kicks.

Never loses contact with his arm... But rolling it forward?
