[Other Sport] Will we beat the Welsh?

[TomandJerry]

Simply not a good enough second half.

England lost that half 18-3. They didn't get near the Welsh touchline. Gatland owned Jones on the tactical front. Credit to Wales there, gutsy win.

I think this match will tell us whether England are the real deal or not.

Clearly not. No alternative plan to kicking away possession. Very poor from England.

Look how happy it makes the Welsh. I can't begrudge those smiles on their little faces.

I dont know much about rugby but to me the game changed when Biggar came on.

I think the direction of travel even before that point was all Wales. England simply awful.

 

[One Love]

England have a fantastic set of players being severely limited by Eddie Jones.

We lost it before that.

Ah, England meet Mr Hubris ( I think the England cricket team have already been introduced)

Now for the Grand Salami.

Was it because we were kicking the ball too much rather than running it?

Same every year. Always one poor performance waiting but usually the last game.

I think so. I don't understand why it makes any sense to keep kicking away possession.

It's because it worked against Ireland and France. England didn't take into account that Wales had one of the best full backs in the world, someone who relishes high balls slung at it him. It was a strange, strange tactic.

well it all worked rather well in the first half, and started ok second. kicking and pace of game kept pressure on Wales. i missed most the second half, i suppose they run out of steam?

Not just the kicking but our entire game plan is floored as we have no plan b and we did not turn up for the second half. Think us at Fulham this season.

Did it though? Neither of the English scores came from a long kick. The try came from England putting pressure on a Welsh maul. Williams et al gathered every kick with ease

So if you know that, why doesn't Eddie Jones?
