Rugby Union (was 2014-15, now an ongoing thread)

It's been an enjoyable game so far.

What a monumental fucking idiot Haskel is.

[taylorsworkrate]

Without that sin bin we'd have comfortably scored enough points. Now we're fucked.

Fucks sake Brown don't turn your back on him, dumb fuck.

[Dante Lavelli]

What a monumental fucking idiot Haskel is.

He plays on the edge and is a character.  Like Hartley you need a few players like that.
However I'm not entirely convinced that his game is quite good enough to justify the risk though.

[taylorsworkrate]

A try that wouldn't have been conceded with a full compliment of forwards on.

Just fuck off Haskel.

There's a difference between on the edge and just plain stupid though.

Regardless of the result today, we really should have beat Scotland by at least 30 points last week. They'll only have themselves to blame.

[Monty]

That's a bloody good try though.

His game isn't good enough, he has a better showreel that Wood but is nothing like as good a player.

Can anyone explain to me why Ben Youngs went off, he's been the best player on the pitch by a long way.

Brilliant delayed pass from Ford for that try.

[Villan For Life]

Marvellous game. There's very little to choose between Ireland, England and Wales and for it to go down to just 6 points ends a wonderful 6 Nations.

Haskell was stupid, he should have known better. Our handling in a 15 minute spell in the first half was poor but all in all we played well. Youngs was awesome.

[villan1975]

Cracking game and in Joshua, Laws and Youngs we have genuine world class players. Laws in particular for me will be as big a player for England as Johnson was.

[paul_e]

damn it, we should have won this year, a fucking joke of a performance in Ireland and a hangover against scotland have cost us big time.

That said, that's the best game of rugby I've ever seen, it was utterly brilliant.

Let's be fair considering the injuries England had coming into this tournament that we got this close should be a huge fillip to the team. We won't concede this many again for a while but you can blame that on the situation. I think we're in great shape for the World Cup.

[taylorsworkrate]

There's no doubt in my mind that England easily have the most talented group of players in the northern hemisphere.

Today was a blue print of how we should be, and can attack. If only we'd have gone into the Ireland game with even half that intensity and tempo. Ireland wouldn't have been able to cope with that.
