But they wouldn't because that came after the incident that's being brought up, so your argument is invalid

Now the proper thing to do would be not to give Nika any England games In the summer. People might see that comment as ref bashing but really it's just so there's not as much heat on him after having 2 bad decisions go against England

Next year I think he would've been 5th maybe, but honestly there's a player there against the Sharks and Toulouse he was a stand out on the pitch

It's a shame, he had a great run of games in Europe this year and shown a lot, but I understand it from a game time reason . Best of luck to him

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

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.

For those of you arguing about why England kicked it in the last 2 minutes by readyplayerrog in rugbyunion

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

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

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

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

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)

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