@Ferruzzicati thank you for the kind suggestion, I actually do, but clips like these are suggested when i open KZfaq which makes it hard to avoid.

Shut up

They didn't deserve to win they're so cocky and ignorant and bad losser it's that simple they are especially in football

KieranDaniel - agree

I came here just to look at that again - completely agree. No attempt at a proper tackle, and it was very similar to the yellow card offense at the end of the game, just didn't look as bad. Slightly softer maybe, but very similar.

This type of tackle is one of my biggest peeves of the modern game. So much illegal cynical play in the last tackle before a try.

agree, missed by commentators and referee and assistants in the euphoria of the score, but definitely cynical

I agree. Good spot.

Absolutely this, I think they are best around already.

Too many years of trying to convert blind sides into open sides and locks into blind sides. Now they have two real flankers and it shows.

So true

Theoretically yes, England might be the best team in the world on their good days. BUT, England have a huge problem with their mental attitude. We regularly lose away and drop focus in the last 40. If we can keep true, we can win.

@@andrewmackinnon7918 what u a fucking jock u stand f Ll chance Mr skirt

JS C I agree about 15, although they just need to swap Daly n Watson. But I think they have the right options at 10 because the Ford Farrell combo works (if Billy's fit), as does Farrell Tuilagi, Ford Francis, and Slade could also slot in if required. That's a lot of great options.

Kyle Griffiths they did yes, and well done to them however i think England look by far the superior team when you consider wales were playing their A team, England their B team, and the victory was pretty slim (in fact only due to 1 try which legal or not, most refs would never have allowed to happen). I think Wales vs Ireland will be interesting.

@@AntoRetroGamer didn't Wales beat England twice this year?

@@JohnSmith-ep2hh The try was sketchy I do admit that, but I don't know how you say England are far superior when they are coming off a loss to them 🤔

Like Scotland last week and Wales 2 weeks ago they're not match fit. This is pre season. Since this is England's 3rd Warm Up game they will be more ready for the World Cup and I expect them to challenge for the title.

Archie Craigie Halkett All teams should be ready by now. Those that aren’t ready yet may improve but they have a lot of catching up to do. Wales, Ireland and Scotland haven’t got time to catch up with England’s preparation. There are no bonus points to help those teams who have not sorted their pre RWC build up correctly..

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj Sorry for lots if comments, the replies don't always show up for me and I think I have to write it again.

@@nicholaswhite3811 what an amazing win for England but saying wales aren't ready is a little short minded considering they beat england the weekend before this

Christopher Bevan not short minded at all, based on the evidence of last three weeks. In both matches Wales played a full strength XV ( injuries permitting) , England fielded a below full strength side with several,players out of normal position. Wales did very little to show they were ready. The margin of victory by England in the first game was convincing, and resounding. The margin of victory by Wales in the second match was about as narrow as it gets in such a low scoring game. I don’t take anything away from the Welsh players in scoring the North Try. They took advantage of the situation they were presented with and scored. But it was lucky in that it should not have happened. The referee was reprimanded for allowing play to continue during a HIA replacement. World Rugby has issued a formal reminder to all referees that when a player leaves the field for HIA play does not continue until his replacement is on the pitch ready to play. If we consider this as relevant the margin of victory was very slim and not consistent with a team that is ready for RWC. Next week may see a different performance and we could then safely say Wales are ready but not until they provide the evidence.

Have you heard of Beauden Barett. Not the biggest fella on the pitch but has very good tackling technique. Oh that's right he's also an All Black.

@@patrickjacobsen7805 you could've picked any other all black and it would've made more sense

Why have you changed your name sambozauk?

this is not the first time either, I think he avoids red cards cos he has a good reputation. in the Pro 14 final he takes out Hogg in the air and somehow avoids a red despite it being the most clear red card ever. he is a low key dirty player.

@@Demondoink1 Oh yes I remember watching that. Owens must have a Rob Kearney sized hole in his vision then. I would say the swinging arm with a closed fist on Curry was worse than his taking out of Hogg, but that both should have been a red and a ban.

Im seriously surprised Johnny May leading an elbow into Murray wasn’t picked up on either - way worse.

They both go looking for work, so no need to feed them ball out wide all the time.. My biggest worry is Daly at FB..

Snowman very true literally 5metres infront

Ikr, if you look at the pitch, there are darker patches, the pass started just before the dark area off grass and he catches it past the dark area like how did they miss that?

@@welshie3659 because that's not how a forward pass is defined?

@@guillaumegenet4248 Yeah definitely forward. The guy caught and passed almost flat footed and left behind the line and was caught after. Even if you argue forward momentum it is forward due to passers speed and position.

Guillaume Genet you are correct a forward pass is defined as when the passer’s arms move towards the opponents dead ball line. But the guys here mentioning the grass lines caused by the mower are citing the evidence that the arms did go towards the dead ball line causing the ball to travel forward. You cat pass backwards as per Law and cause the ball to travel forward. I suspect I’m going to get all the physics stuff about momentum. To save you the bother, I teach physics and fully understand the laws of momentum and Newton’s laws of motion etc etc. Make your arms go back the ball goes back, make your arms go forward the ball goes forward. If you make your arms go side ways and you are running really fast the ball will drift forward but it will be so imperceptible that even with slow motion it will be difficult to see. It is this latter case the Law is designed to cover. If the ball travels forward a perceptible distance it was thrown forward as defined in Law 12 preamble.

@@nationstates7699 On current form, I would definitely add SA to your list, the other two are perfectly capable of pulling of an upset

Salt Salty true

Youngs was crap, but he has had little game time.

I think that’s a little harsh. He had a few duff moments but most of England’s points were scored while he was playing. No way a team can play that well if the 9 isn’t doing something right, no?

@@MartinGFilms He had a very bad game. Kicked out on the full twice. Most of his other box kicks were too long and just gave Ireland the ball back which isn't ideal when you're still in your own half. He passed the ball to the feet of players 3-4 times and once to literally no one. Everyone can forgiven a few mistakes but not 10+ in a single match. Personally I would have given him a rating of 3/10 for the match.

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj ?

Mate, he was awful. Your analysis isn’t accurate.

Phil Morris what does that even mean “10% away from Peak fitness” ... he’s just enjoying the fact that he’s actually winning again. I’m sure he’ll be the first to say “we lost last week - but to the number one team in the World” ... which all know Wales are not!

@Firsthgyhgyhuy Lastujhujhuj ... I would say that Ireland were genuine contenders 18 months ago and after those wins over the AB's and England arguably the #1 team in the world. However it seems that they peaked too early. It will be very hard now, given the evidence of this performance, for them to recapture their form of 18 months ago. Too many of their key players are out of form or perhaps on the downside of their careers.

steven taylor looking forward to the World Cup very even tournament. 3 weeks ago Australia got a win against New Zealand then the following week got trounced, England gets a solid win, Wales ends up #1 in the world. South Africa wins the Champions cup. Any of these teams on the day can beat each other no easy beats.

@@paulrutherford5087 I agree, NZ most likely just because it is a world cup. South Africa, Wales and England are joint 2nd most likely. Ireland, Australia are 3rd, despite their recent thrashings I doubt any of the above will be complacent playing them.

And so are England.France no chance against this England side

I'll say Argentina is going to surprise one of those. Remember my words.

I know England are clear favorites to qualify from that pool 2nd behind France lol

New systems, new coach. Rugby changes just like any other sport. Plus this was a World Cup year so obviously everything came to a crescendo tactically speaking. I don't think it's doom and gloom for England, though. We looked the best we have since 2019 in attack against Scotland and Borthwick is actually picking on form players in their actual positions and backing youngsters like willis, Lawrence, OHC and Arundell. I think they'll turn it around.

Irish team is not the same. No Rory best No Rob Kearney No CJ stander No Jacob Stockdale No Jordan larmour

The footage is here for you to be the judge of that.

Nearly as bad as his trim

Stockdale is abysmal defensively.. I've said it for 18 months and people just look at his attacking flair.. He's a liability as a defender, and has done nothing to put it right..

Tolly T Interesting. England obviously played a blinder and had an overlap which caused him to rush instead of drift, but it seams he really couldn’t make the right decisions and was caught out several times. Maybe he was just the unlucky position that got exposed, but it happened a few times in the game

@@thecuttingsark5094 it can be worked on, but they're either not doing it, or he isn't listening. It's not just yesterday's game as I've watched him closely. He gets dragged out of position and gives the outside when there's too much space to do it.. I know he backs himself and that's great, but Big Joe is fast, yet not the absolute quickest and he was able to put a yard or two on Stockdale yesterday after being shown the outside. That shows he's slow to turn, and his positional game isn't the best..
