Adam and Gethin have had their time. Gethin should retire gracefully, no one wants to see him dribble his career to an end, such a great player.
I’m really hoping Lancaster sticks with this back line. I can’t see Farrell replacing JJ in the centres, and apart from throwing himself into every tackle against 15 tired plays 36 didn’t change the game did he. May needs to be swapped for someone with more position awareness and he’s too frail. Being a Rocket in today’s international backline where space is rare isn’t the only skills you need. Yarde, although not perfect would have stayed out to stand a good chance of preventing that try. Youngs was slow, Care is the better player.
Cole did the Job he was asked to do and stole a couple of balls which compliments out need to lay 6.5’s in the back line, good to,see him back – with a starting performance like that it’s a good sign that he and corbs are on the way back. mako looked lazy moving around the field TBH.
I’d like to see Cips v Italy or Scotland. I think he’d play like Ford did, but with added composure. We need to slot those kicks. I think Ford may have tried to emulate Cips rather than Farrell, and the ball was passed much flatter.
Haskell a man possessed, he’s been playing like that for Wasps and is real threat on the loose, him and Robshaw similar but different
North should have been off the pitch, that needs looking at tbh.
That light show was a farce, WRU should be fined IMO for the stupid games and the delay to the match. Good on Robshaw for standing tall, but then being he better man and walking onto the pitch – albeit with the Caviat. We had the last word in the end.
Great match and as we’ve waited for for so long with England, as said above the Team with the most Tries won. I thinking the end score was fitting.
