Title: England v Chile Match Report
Post by: Brandnewtorugby on September 23, 2023, 08:12:17 AM
After a beautiful soporific display of ball handling that would challenge the leather working skills of a master sadler, England are sailing through to the knockout stages.

There were times in the game where it started to look doubtful as errors by Chile went un-cheered and the fist pumps looked decidedly lack luster. It turned out there was nothing to worry about, Borthwick was on the case. He was seen to mumble something to Sinfield who clearly had no idea what Borthwick was on about, but brought Ben Earl on. The change was immediate, fist pumps, double fist pumps, whoops and cheers all flowed with aplomb.

The RFU made a robust statement pointing out that it is now clear that England's critics are totally wrong. The statement noted how England have demonstrated their creativity, pointing to the multitude of slightly different ways to kick the ball. The RFU council also commented "It is about time the nation start to realise they are watching the game incorrectly and have misunderstood the England games. They need to learn to celebrate with the enthusiasm demonstrated by the team."

Farrell sent off in the 19th minute for a(nother) high tackle. Chessum breaks wind and is reprimanded by Earl. A fight ensued and they are both sent off.

Farrell was substituted on 58 minutes with Borthwick clearly furious as he threw a pass. Youngs came on at 9 and 10 to tighten things up and Marcus Smiths stepometer read 7 once the 80 minutes was done.

Well done England, you beat the lowest ranked team who are made up of semi-professional players.

Australia Wales result would suggest that Eddie Jones is pretty clueless.

Seemingly everyone except the RFU until it was far, far too late.
