Everytime we take the ball into the tackle, we're in real danger of being held up and losing possession. The baby blacks are immensely strong lads

Well the JABs were up by more than this against France going into HT, didn't see the match but something must have changed drastically?

I guess the same could happen here?

21 missed tackles. I thought there would be more

Oh, they weren't finished. Scrap that.

This could be an 80 point hammering

Savage ... but not unexpected at all.

It really is a version of The Masters v The school's 1st XV.

I'm hiding behind the settee. Embarrassing (lack of) tackling.

Oh I don't know the slight jump into the air raising a leg off the floor to reduce any ability to hold ground in the tackle might catch on, some are even looking more like a starjump than a tackle. It's all likely a reaction to our defenders realising they've brought a knife to a gunfight

beaten before they started it looks like

England coach needs to tell them to stop kicking it to the back 3.

stop kicking full stop

Aumua is an absolute animal.

And this is why Eddie was wrong IMO to take the U20's lads to a training camp basically.

Send him off, what a dick head.

Easy to say in retrospect. The squad has still gotten itself to the final.

My impression after watching the entire game is remaining on your feet, or attempting to bind, at the ruck must not be a thing.

Also if they're not going to develop playing at this lower level why bother? Much better to be with the seniors pushing themselves

Is this on TV? Cant find it on BBC, ITV or Sky Sports

Yes, I think that this situation is not so bad tbh. Those who are good enough should be with the seniors, the rest can develop through this kind of thing; lads mature at different rates (NSS)

ooh....Flats invented a new word. Accelerative.

[Banquo]

atkins somewhat better with the ball than without it..

Thank you

[Banquo]

ballsier second half until that shambolic knock on

[Banquo]

hooker is a beast

[Digby]

Aumua not being player of the tournament now looks more than a little daft, not even being on the shortlist looks like they put Dewi in charge of the process

[Scrumhead]

We are completely outclassed, but we're really shooting ourselves in both feet too with some awful basic errors.
