Did anyone watch the France game? How did TJ play ? I read that he scored two tries but nothing else

Didn’t make a single mistake

Defended a 2 v 1 successfully

Nothing got past him all game
Scored 2 try’s

Set up Wellsby for his try after a good run and offload

Carved through 6 players and sent a wonder pass to set up Handley try

He practically pulled England from 0-8 nil behind to being in the lead.

The left edge was potent. The right edge of Handley and Newman got targeted early by France and leaked yards and try. That edge made a few knock ons with plays breaking down etc too.

There were a few players that shouldn’t get in again for a while like Newman, Nicholson who are nowhere near ready. The pack was very poor all game and didn’t get on top hardly at all.

Between Wellsby, Johnstone and Lewis that’s where most of the damage was done.

But apart from that he did nothing else though.

Improvement needed. Guess we will still take him next season though.

I've heard that he also served tea at half time.

And he's already completed his Euro 2024 sticker book

He'd be an improvement on some of the England football team too !

Stand in England coach Andy last heaped special praise on Johnstone for the quality of his performance and the extras he did in the game

Re: Tom Johnstone : Wed Jul 03, 2024 2:23 pm  

Special player.Unbelievable having Tom back next season and all to play for for the right wing spot.

Johnstone plays on the left wing spot ever since his debut.

But yes, he’s my favourite all time Trinity player so I’m very happy to see him back where he belongs.

Maybe so

Just read it again and its about TJ and the poster welcomes his return and all to play for for the right wing spot in the same sentence.

Unless they meant the other wingers can fight for the right wing spot but i thought with no sentence break or mention of other players they meant TJ so was just letting them know.
