Rugby Union hater coming on to voice discontent.
This is the second game I've watched, the first was Scotland v Georgia. I am yet to witness a single try in 2 hours of play.
This game is so dull, how can anyone prefer it to Rugby League, the Leeds v Warrington last night was superb from start to finish.
Rant over, c'mon England!
Just the pressure on both teams making it hard to make it an attractive game.
When it's played well, union can be great to watch. When it's played like this, blimy it's dull. All in my opinion of course, and I know plenty of union fans who think the same about league.

This is ridic dull..(though MrsB disagrees as she's stressed beyond belief).
I am surprised that the England team acts the way they seem to during a WC..it's like the players just can't be bothered being professional.

First time in the match they spread the ball out wide to the backs and there's a try. Why wait till the 80th minute to do that?

Probably true...
Supporting this England or Scotland side in rugby must be what it's like to support...well, England and Scotland in footie.
Excrutiatingly dull unless you're English or Scottish.

I enjoyed it, but I also enjoy League too.
Both have their weaknesses and frustrations to the viewer
As to England today,
Stevens is getting pulped in the scrum, playing out of position. Corbisiero is a unit and a loose head. He's left on the bench for 70 minutes. He comes on, first scrum we shunt them 6 yards back
Haskell is not a number 8. Horrible hands. Easter comes on for him, immediately we have control at the base
Youngs is a talent, but quick decision making not his strength. Wiggy comes on, and immediately the service is crisper
No sooner are these changes made than we take control.
Fortunately for us, France are in grim form too
Looking good for Ireland in our half I think

Also what to do with Wilko ? Cant make my mind up really. Flood did nail that kick from out wide as soon as he came on too.

Yeah youngs had a mare today for sure, I do like Haskell though, he normally carries the ball more than anyone else in the scrum.

In what way? We're very likely to reach our 3rd wc final in a row, can't really see a comparison with the England football team

Wilkinson might be worth a place against top sides who are going to put England under a lot of pressure. Against weaker teams I think he's almost a complete waste of time

A Welsh mate of mine who's a big rugby fan says Wales not to get out their group is a value bet. Thoughts?
Odds?
You can get 3/1, was some 7/2 at one stage, it's a really terrible bet though imo. England to go out in the group at 11/1 might be a little bit of value, had a big bet on England under 195.5 total points at 10/11.
Really close to going out today. The points bet is in provided France don´t have a complete melt down. Agree with Tighty about Corbisiero and Easter (Croft, Haskell and Easter in the back row for me), it´s slightly counter intuitive given the way things have gone for England in the tournament but I still think against the decent sides they will need to keep it tight and for that reason Youngs is still the man for me at scrum half.

OK time to get back to making some money after todays fun and games. Really like Italy getting 13 and I like Georgia getting 21.
Obviously happy at the moment with Wales/SA final at 60/1, shame about the injury to Francois Steyn, more than balanced out by the Carter injury though if it´s as serious as appears likely. Wales need Lydiate and Hook back desperately, if they do come back 100% fit (especially Lydiate) their half is really there for the taking.
