I sat down in front of the Tele last Saturday afternoon with a bottle or two (or more) of Hobgoblin, to watch the Calcutta Cup match between the Auld enemies; I was expecting a good hard fought game of Rugby Union, I might as well have watched the Harlem Globe Trotters playing Basketball; The Oval ball was in the air more than it was in the hand.
If our Aussie coach wants every team member to put the ball in the air at every opportunity then at least give them a round ball to play with; What I witnessed on Saturday was not Rugby, it was a cross between Soccer and Basketball.
I hope that the England players whilst in their "Covid" bubble managed to watch the Ireland, Wales game on Sunday; (That is how the game of Rugby Union Is played lads). Get back to basics or take up golf, then you can put the ball up in the air to your hearts content.
Regards, Taddy.
