Canada 17 - 19 Scotland

Canada 17 - 19 Scotland

Be interesting to see how they fare against the Argies on Fri.

[Russ]

Japan beat Italy
Scotland struggle in Argentina
England finally playing to their full potential of chief humpable brad pitt
France humped by Oz again

Anscombe Out

Again what was learnt by England.
They have a lack of basic skills to live with the big boys encapsulated perfectly by Yardes break and failure to pass in the second half.
As I have said before I think they are suffering from squad obsession at the expense of ignoring their front liners.
Basically the opposite from us and a trap Graham Henry fell into on 2007 which he learnt from before getting the right balance

I'm sorry, how on earth can you criticise England for that whenever you're complaining we aren't developing a squad on the other thread?

Read the post properly and you will find the word BALANCE which neither side is achieving at different ends of the spectrum

[Russ]

Plan A is being attempted again!

[Russ]

Morne Steyn got the shepherd's crook after 23 minutes

Single handedly at fault for Wales leading 17 nil

[Russ]

Apparently it was only blood

Maul banter happening

Should be a penalty try if Walsh had balls

[Russ]

Walsh grew a set

Wales are disgusting with their defensive tactics

Dangerous collapsing of mauls

[Russ]

George North's defence is still missing

Length of the field try, Wales ripped apart

[Russ]

Gethin Jenkins is a door handle

[Russ]

Walsh making rules up as he goes along

Clear knock on, and gives try to Wales

[Russ]

Nothing in that at all

Jenkins drops Wyn Jones

[Russ]

South Africa's control of the ball has been terrible

Jenkins scrummaging technique is the most illegal since Dan Cole
