How could England?

Question

England when't from being on top in the first half against Wales, to being rubbish what happened.

Answer 1

"Justfeck" you're a sore loser.

Australians and Kiwis don't need to use Wales as a vehicle to point and laugh at England.

We don't care who wins.

The ABs will spank all the home nations when they tour in November, show you mutton-heads how the games played.

Answer 2

They under estimated the plucky heart, passion courage and never give up mentality of the Welsh Dragons - and let them take the match from them. My welsh heart bleeds!

Answer 3

I don't know mate................but it was a great game, I just loved the 2nd half!

England just fell apart and Wales got it together!

Answer 4

The ospreys are used to winning close games when playing badly....the sign of a good team.

Answer 5

Wales happened :P  Yahoo!

Before the match, this England team was suspected of being 'a 60 minute team' which means they lacked stamina.  I think that proved true.  England did well in the World Cup but they put in geriatrics such as Delalililio who is a total professional and will be fitter at 50 than some at 20.  They also missed Corey.

Also, they didn't enjoy broken play where anything can happen, which Wales excels at.

I still shudder at the first half though.  How did Wales lose so much possession?  How was it stolen so easily?  How did England continue to devastate us from restart kicks?  Once is fine but they kept punishing us because we weren't reacting.

England lost a lot of good players through the game. There was a real danger you could use up all your subs - pretty unheard of.  And England's control of the game was lost by a loss of the disciplined set-move play they do so well, which if it continues will once more put the Coach in the frame.

But put it in perspective, it's been 20 years since we beat you in Twickenham.  Although we won magnificently in Wembley in 1999.  

The best thing though is not to hear media commentators gloating about a Welsh loss all week.  Brian Moore, in particular, will be eating humble-pie as he said "It's England verses the Ospreys" as if Wales wasn't fielding a top team.

I'll stop gloating now - time to go to the pub :P - but I'd just like to add that Welsh Rugby has found something that it hasn't had since the Seventies - self-belief.

Hope that helps - lol.

Answer 6

England didnt kill the Welsh off in the first half.  Had the try been awarded it would have been a different game.

Welsh then came out having been given a top team talk, which I'm sure basically said the world was laughing at their first half performance (which it was) and don't let the d**n English put a cricket score on you, because we all hate the English, right?

Wales fought back with nothing but national pride and England were found wanting.  Looked like they couldn't be ar5ed to be honest.

Well done Wales.  You deserve it for your show of spirit in the face of what looked like inevitable defeat.

All the Ausies, Kiwis and Irish on here having a dig at the English can suck my hairy sack though....

Answer 7

they got sh*t

Answer 8

well its about time wales haven`t won at twickers for 20 years.

Answer 9

same old story, they underestimated the under dogs, Wales may not have always had the best players or the best games but no matter what, the Welsh supporters are through and through patriotic to Wales and scream in pride and honour in victory and empathy and heavy hearts in defeat, I am proud to say that I am Welsh and from Swansea/Neath where most of the team play for the ospreys, bad luck England, I will be rooting for you against the froggies tho! x*x

Answer 10

For the last 2 years or so Wales has been a second half team. c**p in the first - but England was c**p in the Second.

I'm so sad :)

Answer 11

Its a game of 80 Mins !!! Wales knew it, England didn't and were out played by us !!!

Answer 12

I don't know, but I think Mr Ashton will be asking some pretty serious questions before the next game.

Wales didn't put a foot or hand wrong in the second half, and played with passion.

They deserved their win.

Answer 13

It's called arrogance.

Answer 14

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
