Six Nations Round 4 with Hask & Tinds 

What's the podcast please?

@@gregjackson2164 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ytvE3FNkxmQ.html The England stats are about 8 minutes in.

Yeah whats the podcast

im guessing that was rugby on off the ball on Newstalk. They have a regular piece from a rugby statistion.

Interesting but obviously wrong.

🕤l

Couldn't care less, I'll skip the whole video

Approx. 27 mins on England (with occasional comments on the French) and 5 mins on Scotland v Ireland. Uh Hu 🤔🤔

Thanks cut the first 10 minutes of personal waffle, you might have something.

I don't see what you're saying. England are playing their best. Just too weak unfortunately

@@Baz502 really!

Hope Scotland beat Ireland,Irish pundits the most arrogant in media.

@@getridofneocons Name them?

I would love England to thump Ireland with a Scotland win in Italy.

Completely disagree. Maybe it we will give people something to talk about in the press . That's not a bad thing if it keeps rugby in the press when otherwise there are minimal stories . What's the point of having the largest player pool to pick from if coaches are afraid to use it .

@@bigted1347 Think we actually agree if you read the whole comment

why dont they ignore the press or am i being unrealistic

How about neither?

You would have to redevelop every stadium in the world, not exactly feasible when most clubs are struggling financially

He is, they filmed this before it was announced

@@mrdrevilporkchop666 ok thanks.

It’s called rugby mate

@@Jam43341 It has been so-called since the 19th century, but things have moved on since.

I was thinking Ludlam as he captains for Northampton. He is also getting undropable.

He has a shoulder injury indeed.

Which is probably a good thing if he was in line to start, no one deserves to lose their spot yet.

​@@eazyollie9370 this must have been recorded before Lawes pulled out. News changes fast.

England will probably lose 32-12 or 15-6 unfortunately

@@Baz502 Mate the Saffers and ABs are the only countries in the world where rugby is the top sport and SA is way bigger than NZ 🤣🤣 you should win all the time 🤣🤣 NZ are at least still good at cricket with a much smaller country 🤣🤣 Saffers are generally not very good at sport 🤣🤣

Cuz no one would want to watch that, these guys are dull

@@Baz502 why do you watch the show then 😂😂

Agreed, they can all play any role required. And Farrell is only second to Wilkinson to me, simply because Wilkinson transformed the game with his work ethic. Even Dan Carter sings his praises and says what an influence he is. That sais, all players have their super strengths. DVM and Shane Williams are both great wingers, but do the job differently to maximise their skill set. Farrell is a beast competitor who gets the basics right in attack and defence. Forwards love him because he keep them going forward. Ford is best at manipulating defences over phases. He is a chess master in attack. Smith is best at exploiting space, not just for himself, but drawing attention for other players to run lines and take players on 1-on-1. They can, and do week in week out, do lots of other things very well. But those are the areas that they excel (as far as I see it). With 3 truly international standard players, England have the best strength in depth at 10 in the World right now. The only position we can say that. I think that is why Ford was brought in last week - give him exposure to the new England team so he can step in as soon as he is needed. But I do think you are missing a trick by not taking Farrell off for Smith at, say, 60 minutes. Even in the last few years at Sarries where they are opening up more, Farrell is less experienced at pressing the accelerator. Smith is just as reliable a kicker and is so good at exploiting space. He is also the only one of the three who regularly gets into the position where his team is going backwards and he needs to get them out of trouble. Against teams better drilled and more used to playing together (e.g. Ireland) or able to dominate gainline and set-piece (e.g. SA) that is bound to come in useful as play breaks up. Using them as a 1-2 punch just makes sense to me. And then Ford replaces whoever gets injured / isn't on form. That way you always have 2 international quality 10s, 1 of which at least has over 80 caps at all times. That gives England real experience in that position to offset the inexperienced JVP and Mitchell (who I think are the 2 best 9 options, but we have a lot of potential 9s who can be brought in), and inexperienced 12 .

Farrell has been abysmal off the tee, smith is exciting and goes back to quins doesnt sulk and leads them to a huge win managing the game perfectly. The kid can’t do anymore! No point playing all these defensive guys if you don’t have a spark on the pitch that can create space and magic plays. It’s a similar discussion to what we used to have with cipriani, except smith is arguably the most gifted 10 on the planet

@@paulcole Can't argue with that although Smith is about potential at the moment and needs game time. With the world cup looming, it's either stick with the known talent of Farrell (he will kick everything at the weekend I bet) or put Smith to the test now and start him in the next two games? The conundrum will be the same but at least Smith will have been seen under pressure? I think the step up from the Premiership (crap rugby) to international level is massive, and other countries, like Ireland and New Zealand ,have a more seamless transition.

You okay there?

Wel te, gweddol.

Something like that.

You're so mean

Did someone ask for your opinion?

Ian have you seen that you can now fast forward videos on RU-vid ? The future is now !
