England Vs Romania match thread

[PJHolybloke]

Well, I expect to be largely on my own this morning, but this is the day I expect the England Juggernaut to finally start rolling.

I want to see cold-eyed discipline, good ball protection fron the forwards, good cohesion between forwards and backs, some smart rugby and plenty of tries using differing styles of final execution.

It may "only be Romania" but if all or any of these don't show today - it''ll be a QF exit I reckon.

[Ozzy3213]

Main thing today is discipline. It MUST be better.

[Davie]

oooh - two match threads!

[Biltong]

Mine deleted, sorry

[Biltong]

Disappointing end to that move for England.

[Biltong]

England looking full of running but making lots of errors.

[Cumbrian]

Nice hands so far, need somebody to straighten the ball up a bit though. England seem reluctant to take contact.

[Biltong]

Execution failing for england 3 penalties at the mauls now against them.

[PJHolybloke]

Morning fellas, thought I'd be flying solo on this one.

[PJHolybloke]

Try time for conker!

[Biltong]

Try Cueto

[Biltong]

The gaps are out wide, Romania is defending well in the channel 1 and midfield

[Cumbrian]

For Christ sake England! These are basics, how many times are we going to get pinged at the line-out for that offence???

Cueto scores his customary one try in a thousand appearances, he's undroppable now.

[TBJ9625]

good try. still too many silly penaltied though

[PJHolybloke]

Point about the obstruction at the lineout.

Croft was one of the lifters and never let go of Deacon so how can he be obstructing? The ball was set immediately and they were already bound, that's the second time I've seen England penalised for that.

[Biltong]

Man their passing is wild and erronious

[PJHolybloke]

A better team would have killed England at that ruck.

[PJHolybloke]

Man their passing is wild and erronious

Is that Bokke for shoite Biltong?

[Cumbrian]

I agree it's a law that is often not enforced, but England have been caught out a number of times in this World Cup already, how many times do they need to get pinged before they learn?

[Jaysus]

He'll never get dropped now

[TBJ9625]

definitley undroppable now!!! lol

[PJHolybloke]

It makes you wonder Cumbrian doesn't it?

[Cumbrian]

Ben Youngs speeds things up and Cueto gets another. He's doubly undroppable now.

[alcoombe]

The breakdown still isn't right, we're not hitting the rucks with nearly enough firepower. Clear them out, just getting there isn't enough. How has this not been resolved yet?!

[Mad for Chelsea]

better from England so far today. Getting some pace going into the backs and playing at high tempo, not forcing offloads too much. much much better

[Cumbrian]

It makes you wonder Cumbrian doesn't it?

I' makes you 'furious', would be a better description of my reaction.

[PJHolybloke]

England should be smashing Romania at the breakdown.

[Jaysus]

One word, Wells.

[TBJ9625]

omg captain next game!!!!!

[PJHolybloke]

Quickest England hat-trick ever? Any stattos out there?

[Jaysus]

Cueto = Knighthood

[Biltong]

Man their passing is wild and erronious

Is that Bokke for shoite Biltong?

No, just being polite.

[Cumbrian]

Ah Christ! Cueto better back this up against the better teams.

[Mad for Chelsea]

and another one for Cueto

England playing some nice stuff, Youngs back to his usual sniping and doing a good job of it.

[Biltong]

Cueto = Knighthood

The man of the match has been decided in the first 20.

[Cowshot]

Morning all.

Better from England today. Wish we could tell how good Cuets is from this.

[BATH_BTGOG]

Did anyone else notice the disappointment in the Refs voice when he award England the try after the TMO.

[Cumbrian]

C'mon! Too many bloody missed tackles! What are they up to?

[BATH_BTGOG]

Have the IRB Refs been directed to be tougher on England with regards to forward passes and at the breakdown or is it just me?

[Biltong]

Don't you guys agree England simply looks so much better in their white strip?

[Cowshot]

Did anyone else notice the disappointment in the Refs voice when he award England the try after the TMO.

It's ok: He's French. He dislikes everyone else equally.

[Biltong]

Have the IRB Refs been directed to be tougher on England with regards to forward passes and at the breakdown or is it just me?

No it is just you.

[BATH_BTGOG]

Tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Astonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[TBJ9625]

just you both of the pinged passes were forward

[BATH_BTGOG]

Biltongbek and MJ!

[Cumbrian]

Think you might be imagining that one, I've always like Poite, he seems the only one who really knows what he's doing at scrum time.

Edit: Well worked move puts Ashton over, well at least they are doing SOMETHING on the training paddock.

[Mad for Chelsea]

that was a lovely move from England there

[BATH_BTGOG]

Astons wasn't forward just after the cross field kick!

[Biltong]

Biltongbek and MJ!

Gimme a clue.

[Mad for Chelsea]

more fine hands from England down ther right this time, and it's time for the Ash-splash
