It's weird really. It was only in November that those England loosies were lethal, completely owned us at the breakdown. Earl was everywhere, carrying, attacking breakdowns, constant pressure. And he was backed up by 3 others in the same mode.
Genge used to be a great prop, good at the scrum, and a genuine threat with the ball.
As Cat said, you would not use any of those descriptors at the moment. What the hell happened over Christmas??

I get the feeling that the England players are very entitled and it’s impossible for them to put their egos away and get on with it. Talk of etoje not mixing with the others and having his own schedule just screams of a very unhealthy environment. If things are going their way on the day it can work as they have wonderful players… but apply some pressure and they just go home. A great shame that the NH teams are on one side of the draw practically ensuring one of them get to the next final.

They should make a pact. I’m sure Ardie will put a word in for them

The Adidas logo writes itself:
You Pact This.
Even better if Nike:
Just Pact It In.

But that is the same for the SH teams no?
All in all this thing is a manufactured event that is designed to have a SH v NH final come what may. It makes the likelihood of the two best teams meeting in the final less certain. I really can't get too enthused about it all but I guess I'll still watch it. Which I suppose is the point.

RWC evil geniuses want to drag you into viewing a tournament that doesn't really appeal to you? The scoundrels!

Really want England to get absolutely smashed but also want Ireland to win the 6N
Torn
Completely wrong. If France win then I can say Scotland beat the champions and claim a really lame #moralvictory

Hmmm not the best choices in Jersey colours
I'm struggling to pick players in reality.

Prime time game. Title decider. Cant pick out the players.
Was just about to write that
Last round no red for Wales for the 16 people with colour blindness who watch rugby
This round guess the scorer?
Absolute fucking shambles
When the ball goes up in the air you have no idea who is under it.
Only off first phase ball do you know which players are which.

The over head shots wash out the French baby blue even more and it just looked like 30 players wearing white

You cant even read the numbers on the French shirts.

They have numbers?
That rolling it to the back of the ruck with your hand for a box kick needs to be outlawed.
Hands on the ball and you should be fair game.
