If Leitchs studs were in the turf, it was likely to be a career ending injury, and it was only luck that they weren’t, don’t think Ewels is a bad egg at all, but the red card, and whatever ban comes from it, totally warranted and necessary.

Two red cards in consecutive tests, that's historic, he's a mongrel

Ewels was in at the side, out of control, off his feet, no arms and executed with a high level of danger. Red all day long. Dog shot? Absolutely. Someone who shouldn’t be in the team trying too hard to show he should be in the team. Again.

The graphics were retro 😂 honestly rugby pass worked completely fine for me. It was free to access for UK, we ultimately want younger audiences to watch the sport who do use apps and internet regularly. A game at 7am against Japan isn’t exactly going to lead to a bunch of new watchers just accidentally stumbling on it first thing in the morning channel flicking on the telly.

Jim is absolutely on the money regarding Ewels. That's about as red as you can get.

My RugbyPass TV experience was great, it all worked perfectly (I wonder if the folks who had issues hadn't actually joined up prior to the actual day ? just a thought. Any Rugby experience which is free to view from a fan perspective gets a BIG "thumbs up" from myself. As a game it should be accessible to all regardless of their financial status and age, young or old. Its a great way to promote the game as well as respecting every fan. I was very grateful.

I agree with you . Needed to be said . I hope I'm not talking to an empty room of world rugby . executives

9:50 gotta agree with big Jim, worse than head contact imo. A bad leg injury could end someone's career for good

Dogs are loyal,it's a Grub Shot-red card all day...

Andy is spot on regarding Eddie Jones coaching prowess, he's a spent force and has left a bitter taste in the mouth. You reap what you sow.

Rugby pass worked perfectly for me and saved the day 👏

Goodey ticking all of his classic Goodey boxes in this one 🥱

How can Andy defend that red? Knows his agent or something?

I live in France and watched it through a VPN. I had absolutely no connection or streaming issues. Thought the quality of the platform was great😊

I am hopeless with tech and loaded the app onto my phone on the Friday before and did not have any issues at all

Watched on VPN from Dubai, it was a little glitchy, but still able to watch - might have another sneaky go tonight

Is 'the wire' a bar in Tokyo? Ewels is huge for Bath, deserved to be recalled on form, but ffs Charlie!

Everything works perfectly on RP, i actually loved the 'retro' graphics, watched Jims walk the talk with eddie the night before thought the interview was great fromboth of them n all

Agreed- it worked really well for me. Had it on my phone at first and then on my iMac. 😊

Get stuffed Andy, I suppose Darcy Swain's well quantified Dogshot on Quinn Tupaea in 2022 was totally fine too eh? What an absolute plonk. For example Quinn was starting to take names and he clearly hasn't regained that kind of form since. That was the kind of outright garbage equating to straight up intentional assualt you don't want people in the game doing. If it's intentional a six game ban isn't enough imo

Why do you have to bind and then engage in a set scrum, but get a running free shot on a defenceless man at a ruck, whose leg could be stuck between two bodies on the floor? If Ewels had had to get to the ruck, stop, bind and then push, he wouldn’t have lost his head and Leitch wouldn’t have been in danger of losing his leg.

Rugbypass TV - didn't work on the telly. Worked on my phone which I then cast to the tv. Coverage was good. But it's a faff to get it working.

Definite red. Not fair to Ewells to pick him.

Great game enjoyed watching it on rugby pass no problem here in Ireland and enjoyed the commentary too. Will have to be on the ball from the start to beat NZ or it could be a long day.

Red card not harsh at all. Deliberate and cowardly attempt to hurt the player. Could have caused him a serious life changing injury - no place for that in the game IMHO.

@shonunezekiel

That is quite an accusation to say it was a deliberate attempt to hurt (and by many accounts would not be in character if it was) - certainly could have caused a career-ending injury, and we are all glad to see the warrior Leitch play on.

@@shonunezekiel People like you are possibly part of the problem when you defend thuggery. Either you’re naive or you’ve never played rugby and you talk in theory. Ewels is no saint and he knew what he was doing that why he went for the knee and not the man.

No streaming issues. Honestly though the studio punditry was disappointing and the graphics looked like it was coming straight out of 2003. The general experience seemed a bit amateurish for me.

I think Eddie Jones is perfect for Japan, they produce good front rowers, nippy scrum halfs and ball playing 12s. Plus the attack in League 1 is at the forefront which EJ likes

Would've liked to watch it on RPTV but it was effing impossible to join up. I lost the will to live.

Tried to watch in Italy but it wasn't even shown as on Rugby Pass. Was this due to my location? I do have a VPN but I had it linked to Spain at the time. Maybe Rugby Pass and Big Jim should have explained this limitation. Watched it on another site anyway so no Biggie.

It did not work perfectly, l spent two over hours trying watch watch and l have superfast broadband, it just would not work....

Worked fine for me

Love Jim and Andy

It worked perfectly for me...

It didn’t work internationally and there was nothing to say that it wouldn’t

RugbyPass worked great, but the game looked like a retro fixture from the 90s haha

After what Darcy Swain did when he shredded Quinn Tupeas ACL the refs are always gonna go hard on that type of clear out

England played well i thought, the loosies were excellent. They have a good chance in the first test especially

Rugby pass didn’t work with a vpn turned on.

Worked fine for me and I cast to my tv and it was fine

This is the one issue I have with rugby union - rules/“laws” changes. The game that is being played today is in no way the same game as in 2015 or 2019. There is no yearly comparison anymore, no “defending champions” anymore. I’m a league fan too, union has incorporated some major league rules, the game is completely changed by this. It’s frustrating. Sad.

Ewels pissed on his chips

Rugby Pass commentary was amateurish. I could not work out why we had so many back rowers on the park. The commentary team totally missed Earl at centre. Rubbish.

I feel completely disrespected by Eddie jones how dare you coach my country and then claim your students who let’s face it most of em ain’t Japanese or half as invested as they were in 2019, say are going to take England down to the wire…how dare you Eddie!

Let's be frank and honest: what we learnt was very little, if anything. England beat a WAY weaker team. If England get excited by that win, they'll be very surprised in New Zealand. Wait and watch.

Shit from Spain 🇪🇸!!!

what I learned is, England are gonna get slapped in New Zealand

Ewels is vastly overrated. He’s a thug and should never get anywhere near another England squad.
