RLWC 2021 Week 2 Discussion

[holdzy]

Yep, class above everyone he's amazing

Did he remind anyone else a bit of Cameron Smith when he took that dash from hooker and scored?

So much confidence and skill. He would probably make a good 9 too.

Speaking of which, Harry Grant is like three steps above the next best 9 in league, which oddly enough, is Ben Hunt and he's a step above Koraisau.

What is with the thing Hunt does with his hands and wrists? He bends them down like mr burns.

 

[Super Freak]

I wasn't expecting a 60-4 win by Fiji over Italy.

Huge win.

Now England taking on France. Should be an easy win for England.

 

[Super Freak]

Didn't take England long to score first points.

Only 5 minutes in. Herbie looking likely to get a try or two.

 

[Super Freak]

That was poor from Herbie.

Makes an error on England's line and France score a couple of tackles later with a dive over from dummy half.

18-12.

 

[Super Freak]

The confidence of France has gone up after coming from 18-0 down to close the gap to 18-12.

They're having trouble getting out of their end, but when they have been on England's line they have come up with points so England's discipline needs to be spot on.

 

[Super Freak]

That's not what France needed.

Making an error in their 20 and England will have a full set before half time. They can't let England score.

 

[Super Freak]

Another poor error from Herbie.

Tried cutting back in field and offloading to Williams but passed it straight to a France player and that's half time.

As the game has gone on, he's not been that good.

 

[Super Freak]

Stats-wise, England have been dominating this game but they only lead by 6.

France have barely been in England's 20 but whenever they have been, they have made it count. England's discipline hasn't been good and if they don't fix that, I could definitely see an upset on the cards.

 

[Super Freak]

Tomkins hooked?

Welsby has started this second half at fullback with Tomkins on the bench.

 

[Super Freak]

Jeez that pass from Bateman was well forward.

And England score through Whitehead from a forward pass by Bateman which all of the officials ignored.

 

[Super Freak]

England in again with a little grubber from dummy half and Radley scores.

France weren't expecting it. They haven't started this half well and England are now running away with it.

 

[Super Freak]

England carving up now.

They attack France's left side and score with ease.

 

[Super Freak]

An easy win for England in the end.

They came out in the second half far more ruthless than they were at the end of the first half and fixed their discipline. France weren't able to contain them as a result.

42-18.

England are through to the QF and they will play the runner-up of Group D which will likely be either Cook Islands or PNG.

 

[Xzei]

Say a prayer for Jamaica

 

[Allo]

Surely NZ have a better goal kicker than Foz

I remember him putting one in the top corner from right in front. Think it was with Manly. Should never have taken another kick after that.
