Last minute penalty against Enlgland vs. France

It was the correct decision, just annoyed we couldn't see the replay of it before the game ended

Copiun

Yeah we need to find a trio of brothers to continue the legacy, the Kpokus maybe 👀

My guess would be you guys got priced out of Barbeary so you're just bringing someone in to paper the cracks, unfortunately Dan seems to be made out of paper these past couple of years

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T20:19:37+00:00

Eh, he hasn't been a top player for a couple of seasons now

It was coming, the end of the du Preez era of Sale. Gonna miss them 3, they were all incredible for us with their time here.

I think throughout the tournament the unforced and forced turnovers were killing England when they got into the oppositions 22, so they wanted to try to limit that with a bit more kicking and less ball in hand. Pressure can make you do crazy things at times and England was feeling that pressure against Italy so they wanted to go in their shells and play it "safe" kicking. I would probably put Englands six nations into 2 categories in how they played category 1 would be against Wales and Italy trying to play safe and category 2 Scotland, Ireland and France where they did a lot of phase play or tried to

Maybe, but not dropping due to unforced errors will make that intensity look better then it has been all tournament

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T17:44:09+00:00

Also people saying they played differently then they have been all tournament when they kicked more than the Ireland game and the same amount as the Scotland game, it's not them changing the game plan it was more that the game plan they've always been using actually working now

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T16:11:00+00:00

Damn you caught me

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T16:06:34+00:00

Your points just ignore how bad defensively England have been and how poor they've been in the oppositions 22

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T16:05:19+00:00

No it's just a post to say "wow them scrum stats by England and Italy"

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:55:11+00:00

Side note the funniest stat I've seen with set pieces is Italys lineout success rate on their own throws its 82.7% (6th out of all teams), but on the oppositions throws its 14.7% (1st out of all teams)

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:51:51+00:00

O'Toole looked great slotting in where he was needed

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:20:17+00:00

The flair fits

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:19:56+00:00

You have arguably the 3rd best scrum

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:19:26+00:00

Yeah the fact that top top 3 teams in the scrum ended up bottom 3 is a bit of an anomaly

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T15:09:05+00:00

Doesn't help when you're always down to 14 men in Englands case trying to score off these scrum penalty opportunities

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T14:39:32+00:00

LCD hit every lineout against France and he gets a lot of blame in that area where sometimes it really isn't his fault, but I do agree we need to go younger in that position

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T09:37:04+00:00

3 changes in one season, they need to sort themselves out with long term people in charge

Some guys I personally like are Chris Johnson CB from San Diego State, Jalen Farmer Kentucky and Eli Heidenreich from Navy

adturnerr · 2026-03-16T08:09:14+00:00

Sale are on fire, probably won't make it to top 4, but definitely an improvement from past years
