Watch? Some of us played in games like that 👴🏼

Yep I remember when lifting came in and we all looked at each
other and just threw the big bloke up in the air....forgot to
catch him, like, but started well!
Discussing with informed, down the pub, sources it did look like
Theo Dan against the ABs was underpowering and the addition of
LCD helps but both Baxter and Cole were guilty of at least one.
Genge definitely not the player he was at Tigers. Thought Stuart
has been OK though. He's no Collier, but....
Agree with whomever it was above that an England win will be
taken as a vindication rather than a crack coverer and then lose
to Scotland, France & Ireland in the 6N and him still harping on
about 'when we beat the Boks'. I was there when we beat them 3
or 4 years ago with Marcus and then again last autumn when they
absolutely tore us apart and worry it will be the latter, rather
than the former.

The modern game has been going for a while and scrums are still
really important!

Well - you can certainly have that argument with Yareet.
I am busy :-)

It's been pretty much the same for the last 10-15 years, I
figured you hadn't suddenly woken up from a coma with your last
memory being of 1983!

A reminder that I’m a loosehead
Having fewer scrums doesn’t make them less important.
Quality over quantity 😁

Another fairly crap performance again with 15 to go.
Same mistakes despite apparently learning from Australia?
Genge crap, George crapper, Freeman absent, Slade and Lawrence
are about as good as a double act of Dianne Abbott and Jeremy
Corbyn, and JVP putting in one of the worst SH performances in
an England 9 shirt

They're struggling, even with a mountain of help from the
referee.

England are actually the dumbest test side I’ve seen play. You’d
think they’d never studied anything in training. Awful game
management, and losing the contact badly.
Borethicko needs to go, along with about 6-7 players.

I guess they only won that because of power...
