Here we go once more.
Too soon for Eddie Jones to get England firing? Make no mistake if they don't do it this year they will next.
Wales looking good many injured players back, a settled team.
Scotland. The surprise package, again?
France. I wonder what sort of team will turn up?
Ireland. Installed as favourites, the team to beat?
Italy battlers for the wooden spoon once more? |  |

Was Warburton already off by the time he missed the drop goal??
Surely had to be the captains call to a certain extent. Can't blame him for missing it but should never have taken it at the time |
Don't know the answer but captains call or not Priestland needed to be comfortable with it which clearly he wasn't. We were going through the phases comfortably and should have gone on some more. All in hindsight of course but I thought it the wrong decision at the time, |  |

Only jiffy and dacey were consistent in the art of the "field goal" |  | | |

We never looked like breaking them down in that 2nd half, we lack invention, creatativety and skill the pace we moved the ball was slow and taking the ball standing still, disappointing. |  |

What a negative bunch you are. Although we should have won that match, there were many positives.
I noticed a shift away from the usual playing the ball to the blinside until there is absolutely no room to popping the ball very flat to the strike runners. The ball wasn't quick enough from the breakdown to get the advantage though. Credit goes to Ireland here. With defences being what they are these days it's difficult to see where we will score a try unless from a breakaway counter attack where the players are allowed to play naturally.
We lack creativity and I dare say had Mr Biggar stayed on the pitch we would have won the match as he may have slotted one or both of the drop goals. I still don't rate the bandy legged scarlet. | |

Yep losing Biggar was a turning point agreed, but our play is laborious though, when Ireland broke they broke with pace and moved the ball that bit quicker as well, just why we had Liam Wills try to use the crash ball l don't know, brave as a lion l know, but he was never gonna force is way through, at one point they virtually held him up in mid air, he's a good player and is getting better, but that surely isn't the way forward for him. | |

Liam Williams is brave but gets a pasting every game. He's held up to easily. But who else is there?
Roberts was immense, Davies his Co-centre has learnt to pass and kick out in France.
We missed rhys Webb.
Rob Evans played well. Baldwin looked shattered out there. | | | |

I reckon when priestland came on, most people thought we're fooked.
So in fairness he did ok, although I still wouldn't pick.him.
I just think we must find room for Matthew Morgan in the 23 |  |

Anscombe?
Halfpenny?
Priestland? | |

Morgan clever but too small, Anscombe and Williams injured, priestland poor. | | | |

I agree about the lack of creativity. Aside from North bulldozing to attempt to create some gaps there wasn't anyone trying to break from Ireland's defence. Still gutted we went and drew. But to be fair Ireland had more quality. they seemed to know how to disrupt our shape when they needed to, and solidify on the back foot. I think many of the sides are going to have a tough going with these. |  |

I really don't understand why James Hook hasn't had chances, l know he can throw the odd wild pass, but he can be told about that, he's always had the talent to do a good job at International level, but he's never been give a consistent run in the side, shame really. [Post edited 7 Feb 2016 19:39]

Haha the grand slam and triple crown over after the first game.
This must be worse than losing.  |  |

Only England can win the TC now. We have to play them at HQ. I wouldn't be surprised if they do it. | |

Round 2.
France vs Ireland
Wales vs Scotland
Italy vs England
I'm going France (hope they do us a favour), Wales (need to put some points on the Scots and improve on last weeks dour battle) and England to triumph against a plucky Italy. | |

The TC is becoming a bit like the FA cup, nice to win but not the big prize.
Funnily enough sometimes draws come in clumps, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least one more this,season, with the top 4 all closely matched.
I won't be hugely surprised if England struggle in Rome | |

U20's played well to comeback to win tonight, nice to see Mcbrides lad come off the bench to win the game, looks a big lad to play 10 though, assuming that's where he plays. [Post edited 12 Feb 2016 21:06]
