GAD Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 We've killed ourselves here. Think France probably deserve it, but we didn't have to lose this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can't begrudge France the win, while also feeling we should have got something out of that. Frustrating as hell, against a very good side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I guess we will probably play Ireland in the 3/4th place play off? Would be great to win that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leggy Blonde Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Shot ourselves in the foot every single time we got into good positions. Hogg missing touch there at the end just summed it up. George Turner when we came on missed his line out throws and gave away a penalty. Not much between the sides except poor execution from us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I think France always looked like they had a try in them and we didn't, and for me that was the big difference. Both teams made shitty mistakes, and both teams defended reasonably well, but we just didn't carry enough threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from giving you go-forward, it also creates space elsewhere as they set their defence to look for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner is a liability. Up against the best team in the 6 Nations with Weir at 10 and and undersized back row a losing bonus point is probably a decent outcome. Plenty of times in the past we have made up for being outmuscled with some Finn and Hogg magic and intelligent play. That didn't happen today, the backs were dire and Ritchie and Watson didn't make any impact on the ground. Hogg is a flake as i've said before being mid 20s but clearly on the decline is affecting him. He's still obviously a great player but nowhere near his 2016-17 level. Jaco needs to start in the final game. Weir offers nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Fagerson does a lot of things well at 8, but making yards over the gain line isn't one of them.Another thing they picked up on at half time was that France were out early doing some physical drills with tackle pads etc obviously looking to be up for a quick start to the second half, and that was how it panned out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big Shaun Edwards thing. "Get off t' fooking line" as Goodey and Big Jim would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Serge Betsen was some player. Betsen, Magne, Harinordoquy was an awesome back row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco needs to start in the final game. Weir offers nothing. You or I would offer as much creativity as Weir. I’ve said it before, and it remains true: he’s a throw back to the amateur days as a non athlete who worked really hard to get fit. He’s basically a fat lad. He’s a great story in application, but he lacks any real flair. Hogg is as flakey as they come. He could almost be a French stand off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
