It's not a bug with Farrell, it's a feature. He intends to hurt and if possible stretcher the guy he's tackling (Darcy Graham, Calcutta Cup 2019), with one eye on the ref for whether it's not quite too high, not quite too late. The calculation is that a yellow may be worth getting rid of a dangerous opponent. So give him a red, a long ban, rule him out of the World Cup and let England move on from his era. He was never Ntamack or Russell or Sexton. He's a one-speed international player with a decent boot (which he always used too often) and an obvious inability to change gear when the gameplan isn't working. England will be better off without him.

England just don't look right to me. Our scrum is pathetic which is surprising as it's always been one of our strongest areas but for some reason the new wave of props are not coming through. As good as Genge and Sinkler are they can't seem to scrummage together and against the better teams they just can't compete. Scrum half is also a problem and why they are sticking with the old boys I don't know when we have the likes of Randall and Mitchell waiting in the wings. The last issue is our discipline, we don't seem to have any!! The refs these days don't tolerate it, especially at test level and we're only making it harder for ourselves. England are so frustrating at the moment.
@gs8494 Жыл бұрын
The front row is a worry, I know Dan Cole has had a good season and he's in form, Marler is solid and dependable, Genge and Sinkler as you say are missing something, but does anyone anywhere seriously think any of the fronts rows of the top teams are looking at our front row and worrying, I don't not even close and I bet Argentina can't wait to play us, they could have a field day with the current state of the England team. We are the richest Union and we should have an embarrassment of riches, but we seem to missing something, especially in the forwards, we are not the team we used to be and the future doesn't look particularly good either.

Also I don't agree with reducing any ban because Farrell apologised to Basham on the field. Of course he should apologise anyway. Of course he should admit his guilt. But those acts should not affect the length of his ban. Do you not think he hasn't done that in previous incidents. Any legal mind/disciplinary panel worth their salt will just say that the principle of mitigation clearly does not work with Farrell based on previous incidents of this kind.

Farrells been doing this for years! Surely it’s time for him to learn his lesson! Ban him for a solid period so that he learns his lesson! Trust me I hate seeing good player miss the World Cup through injury ect. But when it’s caused by someone that hasn’t changed their ways! Just think about the past 5 years, which player comes to mind when you think about dangerous/silly tackles?

mitigation for saying sorry winds me up. Even my kids get told to show they are sorry too, surely rugby players can be held to the same standard as a 4 year old. On the red mist. I think Johnno was captain when he battered Robbie Fleck in a way that would result in a year ban or something now.

England are at best average. They are lucky to have an easy draw and will probably end up further into the RWC than their talent deserves. Farrell's tackle was poor and the opposite of brave. Deserves the full sanction, with no mitigation discount as he is a serial offender. Saying sorry again and again shouldn't count for diddly squat.

'... I want to see Owen Farrel at the world cup...' I don't. As an England fan I'll be happy if he gets a 12 week ban. He's the emperor's new clothes. He provides nothing that isn't turgid and predictable and no team fears him or anything he can do against them. All they have to do is run at him enough times and you'll get what happened on Saturday - a yellow or a red. Some number 10 that is - and captain too. The mind boggles.. England looked much more fluid with George Ford on the pitch. And as for Farrell playing 12 or 13 ----- ffs. Tried, tested and a proven failure. With Borthwick in charge any worthwhile change will be forced upon him rather than decded upon through logic and nous. England need a miracle to get out of their group.
@Hiltok Жыл бұрын
I'm an Australian fan and would have preferred to see VPF and Faz in the line-up for England in a QF against the Wallabies. I think England look better with Ford as scrum-half [edit: fly-half] and two big lads in the centres. And Alex Mitchell playing scrum-half off the bench gives a different challenge. Mitchell and Smith together could be interesting, but could the rest of the team keep up?

Im so disappointed Farrell's card has been overturned. For one it makes a mockery of the whole system and reeks of the corruption we all know is at rugby's heart but wish wasn't. But, also because it's the worst possible thing for the England team. I know much smarter minds than mine rate him as the best 10 around but i can't get away from the fact England are better when he's not on the pitch. He knows how to execute a plan but seems completely unable to respond and change that plan when what's Infront of him doesn't match it. That's why he looks good in matches England are controlling but falls apart when things change. People say his defence is strong but to me his conduct makes him a liability. If he's such a great leader why do England come alive whenever he leaves the pitch? A generation of talented back 3 players have been wasted, confined to chasing his monotonous kicks, when they could have been entertaining us with ball in hand.

Am I the only one concerned with the amount of time in a game where the ball is actually in play? After 20 minutes of the England/Wales game I put a stopwatch on actual play time and the ball was only "in play" for 21 minutes of the hour. Isn't it time that the clock was stopped NFL style when play stops? We're supposed to be seeing the fittest, best players ever but how can they compare to an older generation who had to play for a full game and no impact subs? So, so, so, so boring.

Curry (6) and Willis (7) against Argentina (maybe Vunipola at 8 and Earl on the bench). England are not going to outmuscle Arg and some of their chop tacklers, so winning the turnover battle might be key for them. Lawes in second row for a good lineout option (Ribbans on bench).
