What a comeback! 🙌 | England Men A vs Australia Men A | Highlights

[@GoldenGoalposts]

Give Heyes or Fasogbun a go against Japan - Dan Cole has been an excellent servant to England but it’s time for new blood to develop

[@samuel8265]

Agreed I think he was there for experience wouldn't want a rookie facing NZ or boks

[@GoldenGoalposts]

@ yes that’s fair I think Heyes could’ve been given a shot against Australia given he did the away tour there a few years ago but one of the two has to come in for the Japan game

[@Bpt8825]

Tom Willis and Ted Hill as well

[@Andrew-q8k]

This match day 23 V Japan...let's see what level they are at

[@TypicalAlec]

Couldnt agree more. Regardless of whether or not Dan cole is in the long term plan i want this to strengthen the depth and lay the groundwork for the future.

[@whitebear5405]

Not enough box kicking and chasing kicks for me. This was far too exciting. I prefer my rugby when I struggle to stay awake watching it. Good effort lads

[@tomorrow3582]

Bloody hell I'd love to see England allowed to play with such freedom. That Langdon try was incredible!

[@Oscar26383]

I love a positive comment section😊 so nice to know everyone's behind their team.

[@patrickthomas8101]

feel like we need to have the England A's more games to improve depth. maybe give them 3 games during the 6 nations.

[@harrydennis6854]

Agreed!

[@mattmasksforehead620]

Can you just upload the whole game? I don't mind paying for rugby but having the senior side and the A games on different streaming services (not to mention different competitions on different platforms each year) is killing the game. No one is signing up to Premier Sports for one A game.

[@Rabbs-i6b]

Nice to see an England team chuck the ball about

[@bridgetb9270]

Well done boys done us proud

[@somanytakennames]

The title suggests they overcame a 20 point deficit, not a 5 point one. I’m so bored of clickbait.

[@theofarmmanager267]

What do you expect from the RFU? Integrity? Honesty? Competence?

[@somanytakennames]

@@theofarmmanager267 It’s so rampant on KZbin, very annoying to see yet another channel engage in it.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

There's a couple of question marks missing. The title should be "What? A comeback?"

[@johnhanson5943]

Better than the senior team - in mind-set at least.

[@stevewturnbull]

'Pollack gets poleaxed for the pleasure'. Bravo commentator.

[@jamiecottrill7316]

I’ve been looking for the comeback…

[@adamdon5381]

The attendance is a pretty depressing reflection on rugby at the moment 😢 the best, most discussed young talent in the country, playing a really fun brand of rugby, well, next door to the main stadium and could barely fill a stand!!

[@julianmoseley2329]

Probably the pricing had something to do with it, and coming the day after we lost to SA

[@jonathanburson4994]

Had I still lived around the corner I’m not sure I would have gone - think it was something like £46 for a main stand and around £30 for North or South

[@harrydennis6854]

I had a look and prices were the same as a normal game. Surely they could've made it cheap and cheerful to get a crowd there. Gets more eyes on the players and would get more people involved

[@thehum1000]

Awesome game

[@Bobertron199494]

Time to call up Cadan Murley. He's been ready for years

[@jonathanfuller6055]

Just shows the depth in talent on the wing. Murley is exceptional but Feyi-Woboso, Roebuck, Freeman, Sleightholme even better

[@Bobertron199494]

@@jonathanfuller6055 I think only Feyi-Waboso on that list is definitively better. Murley/Sleigtholme pretty similar. Freeman is a better 13 than he is a winger

[@darthmaul408]

@@jonathanfuller6055ibitoye also. Being good at kick chase isn’t the best all and end all.

[@peterbreen3039]

He doesn’t have the pace for an international. He is fast, he is a very good club fast but not international fast.

[@peterbreen3039]

@@Bobertron199494I am a Quins fan. Sleighthome has genuine international pace and Murley doesn’t

These players should play for the senior team .

Borthwick wouldn't let them play like this, he'd have a meltdown.

[@markwebbdoesms2271]

Anybody else think this year’s kit looks a bit like PJ’s?

[@Hddy-k7x]

what comeback haha ? down by 5 with 50 minutes to go?

[@AW12-W]

Swap A + Senior team coaches - before it's too late.

[@John-ny7jn]

Where was Ted Hill?

[@joefair1137]

Called up to the senior side

[@John-ny7jn]

@ good he should get a run out against Japan Underhill and Earl have strong experience already so it would be good to see Hill get some after his performances with Bath

[@rthomason22]

Must be better commentators around than these miserable pair. Not an ounce of analysis. Lawrence is almost unable to string a sentence together with the other chap doing his best thesaurus impression. Must be better ways to promote the game and educate fans rather than clowns moaning on the mic for 80 minutes.

[@rjam7181]

Couldn't agree more, rugby commentary is abysmal and self-indulgent with over the top referen

[@zerrodolbi6367]

Watched until the end. Still awaiting this comeback !!!! Did anyone manage to find it?

[@gvz2899]

Jeez not really a comeback, they trailed by 5 points in the second minute of the second half. But good rugby none the less.

[@japersjolly8763]

Men's rugby? Thank goodness you told me, I would have assumed ladies otherwise.

Great players sadly most of whom will have their professional rugby pathway blocked by the prem being 1/3 full of overseas Irish Scottish and Welsh players and by extension ever playing for England seniors because you have to be playing in the prem to play for the national team! It’s time the prem closed there doors and stopped the top league in England being a training ground for the rest of the world!

[@sisyphusonlunch5541]

Almost all of the starting players for this England A fixture are 1st choice for their clubs or are at least getting a lot of minutes this season in our top division. The squad included several players fans want included in the full England side right away - Ibitoye, Willis, Pearson. The squad also included several players from England's under 20 world cup winners who are likely being fast tracked towards the full England team like Pollock, Apoko-Fordjour, Fasogbon and McFarland because they show real potential. This Premiership season has been one of the best I've known for young players getting game time. I therefore feel your analysis is incorrect.

[@marclawyer2789]

​@@sisyphusonlunch5541 Perhaps you BOTH have a point...you didn't dispute his statistic that 1/3 of players are from other home nations, then we have overseas nations etc...England have to have TWO squads worth of talent to choose from (half a dozen isn't enough) just to be competitive in the 6 Nations, let alone against the ABs, South Africa etc...2003/7 was a long time ago and England have gone BACKWARDS in their ability to progress and nurture talent...but will bend over backwards for certain 'coachable' players in spite of their negatives ( Farrell springs to mind) I've watched Rugby for over four DECADES and it's future has never been so dire...

[@MarkRiles1]

You can't be watching the Prem much if you aren't fully familiar with all these players. Many are in the mix of the full side, and have been regularly discussed as deserving full caps before now. I won't say senior side, as it sounds like they're the U20s or something. They absolutely are not.

[@marclawyer2789]

@MarkRiles1 Erm, that's not what I said...even remotely...and yes, I DO watch the 'prem', but only the highlights these days (the standard of refereeing is woeful) and it's amazing how the England set-up can take exciting players and render them as under performers (see also cricket, football, tennis etc...) My point was and is WHY do England STRUGGLE to compete with much smaller rugby Nations to bring on talented (rather than coached) players..? England should have a recognised throughput for ANY good players that helps them achieve ABOVE their abilities, not below... Personality clashes shouldn't matter in a professional situation, but unfortunately the RFU seem to be stuck in wanting subservience rather than creative thought...
