RWC19 "Stuff"
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
I agree sky blue. Young’s has 92 (fully deserved) caps and was selected for 3 consecutive lions tours. You don’t get that without being a very fine rugby player.

Some very odd posts on here today !!
I think some must be watching the WC matches from an earlier tournament. For me Eng have done everything that was expected of them. They are winning by comfortable margins and controlling each game. That is all you have to do. We'll see how they go, as the games get tougher but I see nothing to be upset or bothered about. I am sure anyone bar NZ would be very happy to take all the Eng results to date. Argentina threw the kitchen sink at this game as their final and got almost nothing out of it. This is a Team that lost to NZ by 4 pts, Oz by 6 pts and 30 to SA only a month or so back. A win by 30 pts or so despite missing 4 kicks is pretty decent. Eng knew what was coming and put up a plan to deflate it which they did. The France game will be different again. I suspect we'll only see the strongest team out against OZ in the 1/4 final. However Eng have several options in a lot of positions so it may well be horses for courses. They also will have some very fresh players in
Mako
Nowell
Slade
Wilson
Genge
JJ
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
For me, England are playing well-ish and so far I's give a 7-7.5. They just don't seem to be firing on all cylinders, possible due to the opposition. I actually hope that France turn up next week and make a game of it, forcing England to up the level in order to prepare for KO Rugby from the Q-F's on.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
France really struggling against Tonga in an error strewn performance.
Can't see much, if anything, to trouble England.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
France wont even bother against england. Rumours for a few days that they would rather play wales than australia.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
I suspect it doesn't really matter whether they take it seriously or not - on all available form they'll lose
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
Yes, if France are trying to get themselves an "easy" quarter final opponent it says everything about where they are as a team and how much they rate their own abilities.
Don't care if its Wales or Australia we should beat either of them.
Re: RWC19 "Stuff"
I don’t buy those rumours at all. RWC all about momentum and I doubt France would want to lose their last group game.
I also agree England would beat either wales or Australia
