CJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 This is our captain. Just a young lad but a different class when speaking to the media. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17168428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 He's only filling in as captain but he played a good game. I don't think they will take it away from him now. Man of the match yesterday - great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 No sour grapes, dont believe i even mentioned the last vidieo call? I watched live & REPLAYS couldent tell if it was down either. Unless its clear they where never going to give it? Really think it was a very good game. Could of gone either way, but i know and you know what i said stands this is a very inexperanced England side & yet they ran you the mighty Wales:rolleyes: to the line:p Your best period of play was being a man down, which allso showed Englands lack of experiance. So i'm Happy with the game if not the result:d:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am glad that Wales won, but I dont think they as teamed showed anything fantastic! As above best period of play was when they were a man down and they actually looked good then. I was actually very disappointed with the half backs. Philips looked shocking, very very slow, hesitating, very bad. Is there no backup to Philips? Not sure why Priestland was yellow carded... a little harsh I thought, especially when later, Warbutton was taken out VERY badly in the lineout and nothing more than a penalty. I think England should have been down to 14 at that point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think Warburton was very honest in his assessment during the interview when he said Wales did not play particularly well and I would agree with you that Phillips had a poor game. The back up is Williams at Scrum half (plays for the blues) but I think they see Phillips as being a more physical presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Dont know Williams... I know Philips is big and strong, but speed at scrumhalf is normally a much better idea! Faster ball to your backs, especially when they have such a strong backline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I keep hearing the comment about England being a young team but I wonder how the average age of both sides compared yesterday? I have tried to find a link and failed but I wouldn't mind betting the average was about the same for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Not about age but experiance, World cup etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 We just let our women do the hard work. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/17140024 Have that you Welsh devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I read in the press this morning that the RAC and AA are suspending all operations. They have both said it is pointless as Sam Warburton is always first to the breakdown! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
