Rugby Union Six Nations 2023

Absolutely superb stat about Arundell



Really hope England start to develop attacking tactics on top of the kicking game. Lots of talent
 
I suspect the Welsh will down tools on the pitch. They understand loss of revenue wouldn't have helped their dispute so they'll sing their anthem then get battered at home to make a point.
At least Gatts can have his post match interview ready in advance, win praise the team spirit loose blame the WRU simples.
At least we have an Anthem and spend you're £5 on a brass at least you'll get something out of it ;-)

What the fuck does a sheep do with £5?

This is England, so an attacking tactic is a crosskick to the winger.
Good thing there was another form of the game to nick that from!

Borthwick's Saracester is all about high kicks to the array of giant backs and lumps in the middle setting up rucks, which is quite tedious. Astonishing that they won't use the wings who look dangerous on the two occasions a game that the ball is passed to them.

Indeedy, I'm a Tigers fan so know his style. However, he'll be aware that it is limited and was quite quickly figured out in the Prem - I'm hopeful he'll adapt!

I'd prefer it if he stays limited!

I have thought for years that what England need is an intelligent player at 12 or 13 to vary play, and ideally one who can pass the ball. Everything grinds to halt or the number 8 is in the way and just takes it back to ground. Gym hulks beat many teams but can be undone on any one day.

The lumps he's got at the moment seem to be easier to run around than others, the Italians found all manner of holes to run through.

England by 25
Ireland by 25
France-Scotland absolutely no idea. Depends how angry Shaun Edwards got.

True but that doesn't mean that the attack should be as one-dimensional as it has been. It's good to see just having a single 10 - the 10/12 only worked with Ford. Lawrence is excellent and Slade is a good playmaker.
