RMweb Gold BoD Posted March 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 20, 2021 ..... seems to be somewhat lacking motivational skills. Or even worse uses them to wind up the up the opposition when he attempts his mind games. Alright, I know you shouldn’t need to motivate your players at International level but something is holding them back. I’m certainly not one of those who think England are entitled to win just by turning up but he does seem to have the knack of making the team a lot less than the sum of its parts. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerburnie Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's not just about results going into a World Cup, it's building for the future, all Jones wants to do is make his cv look good for the next job, we need someone with personal connection, Scotland with an Australian coach lost at home to Italy, with a Scot in charge they beat England in London, it's not rocket science. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear that they are all suffering from long-Covid. Seriously though, it has been nice to see them competing well at times this season rather than pinning our hopes on them being only the second worst team in the league.

Big game coming up against the Tigers, a lot of connections between the sides and quite a bit of history to add some spice to the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Leicester were overall the better team. Karl Dickson, the ref, starting to worry about him; makes me glad there’s off pitch reffing to help him -he misses too much. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerburnie Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Newcastle made us work for it, but our pack was so dominant it gave us the penalties and field position, we put them under huge pressure, hence so many penalties and yellow cards against them. Was quite easy in the end. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Davis Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Request for a recommendation; A good, I.E. Easy to understand, book explaining Rules etc for Rugby Union. I have been watching matches on the TV for a little while and, while I understand some of the basics I would like to know more. I have looked on the web but I prefer a real book.

Each referee is inclined to interpret some of them in their own way, particularly around the tackle/ruck/maul, the front-row of the scrum and offside. And FFS why don't scrum-halves get penalised for feeding. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkC Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Can I just congratulate the England Ladies team on winning the 6 Nations. I followed the match via the Telegraph's tryped commentary yesterday, & frankly from what I read they could teach the present England Men's team a few things. Well done, ladies 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a good mens’ 6N, only England were poor. Any of the top four could have won, and there were good competitive matches. Can’t say the same for the Autumn cup, looked like training sessions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
