Yeah I watched all of that. Brilliant game of Rugby, superb performance from England, got right in their faces from the off and forced their mistakes. They couldn’t handle our intensity and paid the price. The crowd didn’t like losing very much, bit complacent today lads. We showed up your lot didn’t.
Spot on mate. The intensity with which we played was the big standout of the match. Our defensive line was so quick to close their half backs and centres, that they were unable to really build any momentum whatsoever. We missed so few tackles as well, which is an area we’ve struggled in over the last 12 months. Great to have Billy Vunipola & Tuilagi back, first time we’ve had pretty much our first choice XV available for a good 18 months.
Back on topic, sorry lads! Thought we were really good against the Toon, they were boring as fuck and offered very little, other than a couple of counter attacks. Thought they might have a real go at us given their result against City. Thought Davinson stood out for me at the back, looked strong and commanding when needed, which is great, as for me anyway, he’s had an indifferent season.
Winksy just continues to impress alongside Sissoko, who is such a different player now, the way when he receives the ball he immediately looks forward, rather than receiving it and looking like a deer in the headlights and offloading it to the nearest person next to him or behind him. Up front, thought we played some decent stuff without really having much luck but Sonny just never stops, the guy’s an absolute diamond!
Happy days!!
