Union was worth watching for about 2 years, when Andy Farrell and Jason Robinson switched codes and revolutionised a tired old game. Nowadays, it has reverted into an attritional bunch of tripe played by ex-public school thugs who think nothing of trying to tear somebody's eye out , ear off or raking their studs across someone's face. The drinking's good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think its disgusting that our Rugby players are faking injuries because another fat blokes kneed them in the face. They should take a note off some of our brave footballers who'd just crack on with the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So little creativity or invention. As soon as England get anywhere near the line it's the same routine, set the ball and then try to batter through the French line. So, so poor. Have to say until the last 5 minutes it wasn't comfortable watching, almost put a dampener on the day, then again my head is so woolly now, can barely remember much of the rugby apart from too many French penalties. Trying to make a judgement whether England gave them away silly or French pressure earned them? Either way Eddie Jones getting a slam shows what a difference a change in mindset can bring, still think we were largel boring and the big 3 S.H teams would still comfortably beat England. Work in progress maybe. Good start for Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work in progress maybe. Good start for Jones. Spot on. Good start, more work to be done. I like the fact that Jones has loosened things up. We don't seem quite so rigid now and display a bit more freedom. That being said, I think the next steps are fairly obvious - craft and invention. We're sorely lacking it, probably because we were so structured towards the 'game plan' under Lancaster that it was snuffed out. Just need to re-find it and then we can start bridging the gap towards the SH sides. We've certainly got the players for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
