6 Nations 2019

Hate to agree with Gifford but that was awful by France. Half the players walking when the ball was chipped in behind. The defence was totally optional, their option taking sucked and when they ran out of ideas they just kicked to the English to let them score again.
I would have subbed everyone I could have at the 25 minute mark to send a message.
They have massive forwards who they give crash ball, standing still, 5 meters behind the ruck. Do they even have a game plan?

I don't think they seem to give a damn about international footy these days, until RWC time. Their loyalty is to the clubs

Imagine the ABs selecting someone that out of shape.

Weepu 2012. That was an utter disgrace.

Sure, Slade , Daly and Nowell are very good rugby players, but they need big guys to get stuck in and do the work up front first.So... you've just described threequarters? ;0)

Lawes is a weapon. I love watching him play

It's weird that Itoje gets all the plaudits and starting spots yet Lawes is the better performer.

yea i don't get it at all. Especially when you look at the way they have Itoje playing, i think Lawes would do that better. There must be something there i don't see.

Maybe a NH poster who watches them week out in club rugby can give us some insight?

As well as the already mentioned very important criteria there is also the perception that Lawes used to fade in and out of games whereas Itoje can keep up the level of shouting throughout the full 80 minutes and indeed play some rugby during that time. Itoje also seems to have a bit more grunt in the tight. Luckily for us we are blessed at 2nd row and in reality can perm any two from perhaps six without losing too much.

Itoje's invisibility cloak on the offside line is a big help as well. He forgets to hand it over to Lawes.

That was certainly the case against your boys last Autumn, so don't forget to say thank you to Maro if you see him!

@Catogrande depends if he's wearing the cloak or not, innit.

You don't need to see him - just follow the whooping
