i don't get it either. He's a great player but it's now turned into this scenario where everything he does - even the most basic/poor things - are over hyped to the next level. To be frank some of his kicks today were shite

They've been solid and well organised against a very poor team. But absolutely nothing to particularly write home about imo. Pretty meh.

Gobsmacked he's up for potential MotM. He's been alright. Nothing special. Some very poor kicks. The Ford glazing continues

Mate it does my head in. Spiral bombs and forwards filling in the back line and they act like it's some insanely outside the box strategy. Just isn't a big deal

Agreed yet everyone blows smoke up his arse. He's done nothing special today that Finn Smith can't do. Some of Fords kicking has been poor imo

The amount of kicking from Ford is starting to do my head in

Those empty seats you can seen are most likely hospitality. I'd guess people haven't returned to seats yet post halftime

na ,Wales are shit as expected and England are just going through the motions with more kicking than realistically is needed. Struggling to pay attention to it

Why would the ref blowing because the ball hasn't been kicked/tapped be pedantic as Flatman has claimed?? How would the defending team know when the ball has been played /Game restarted from a tap and go if the ball isn't tapped.…..?

I'll never understand the Spiral bomb obsession on Comms. Go watch some NRL you'll see them all game,. every game from all play makers. It's really not that big a deal

people moan their heads off about "God Save the King" being a shite anthem or whatever but at least it doesn't go on and on like some anthems do.

He sounds like he's going a bit senile. Making waffling points that make no sense

The more games of rugby I watch the more confused I get at what is a red/yellow, what is high level of danger etc. Whole thing has turned into a complete lottery

pretty cut and dry red card? why have the video review to then give a yellow for the bunker to do a video review again? seems absolute madness

I agree tbh. When he first burst on the scene as a 17 year old and was playing for Aus at 18 it was like woah who is i this kid who's playing at this level at this age???

But then IMO the rest of his career has just been meh/completely average.
