@IrishBearsShow Especially 1st half of the season, the takeaways masked that secondary & LBs were getting torched by quicker receivers, so I'm onboard with what Poles is doing. Priority now is how they pressure the QB. Need to see what full picture post-draft looks like
@Romania_CSC I was listening to the game on the radio yesterday and couldn’t believe how bloody miserable he sounded. I get it wasn’t a high quality game, but come on man!!!
@CharlieFelix Glad in some ways to see Italy get over the line, but England seem to making so so many mistakes. Everyone has bad days, but wow, for it to be 3 games in a row would indicate there are bigger issues under the bonnet. Especially odd after they looked to be trending well after Nov
@Cheesewright3 Totally agree. I just don’t understand why people have to be 100% all-in on one side or the other. These situations are very rarely black and white and are much more nuanced
@Stephen05127196 The lad is absolutely entitled to make his choice; don't think anyone would begrudge that and I wish him luck. I think some folks will be rubbed up the wrong way with regards to investment in his development through the IFA youth system. But it's ultimately his call
@stephenjones9 The management and coaches (and many England supporters) clearly see something in him that's worth exposing him to the highest standard of rugby, with the expectation that his game will grow and mature. That (IMHO) is why he's in a test jersey!
@stephenjones9 I mean, he's 21 and has less than 10 caps. It seems ludicrous to me to expect him to be the finished article. Do you think McCaw or Dallaglio learnt anything after playing their first few years of test rugby???
@Missilepanda World Rugby have made such a hash of the laws in rugby union nowadays, all you can really ask of any referee (irrespective of level) is that they're fair and can give a clear rationale for how they came to their decision, which I felt she did. 1/2
@PrestonTerrier I think Roosken is a good footballer, I'm just not 100% sure what his position is. He crosses a nice ball, but doesn't have the attacking instincts to go at a man. He can tackle, but isn't great at closing down wingers. Probs needs a very specific situation to look good #htafc
