I don't think England have woken up yet. We look so rusty.

Yeah surprised they didn’t look at that. Steward was right on him.

Fantastic after that though. Poor Smith.

It's bollocks isn't it. There's no interest in going anywhere near the ball then. He changes his line twice as well, TMO should have picked that up.

Yep. Clear and obvious blocking. It’s not like the TMOs to stay quiet.

TMO was talking, it just didn't seem to be anything about the blocking.

I wonder if Rassie will comment on that ref's error?

Blocking isn't great, but I'm not sure about our tactic of kicking to isolate our back row against their outside backs.

If he thinks that the tmo not piping up there was thanks to him he'll be well pleased.

Boring, kick-inspired crap so far. The worst part is that some of the obsessive kicking is aimless AND we have dropped more than them. Not ready to chase - don't fricking well kick.

It is for Ben Whitehouse when it's to England advantage!

Shit - is that Nowell's scrum cap I just saw?

Let me guess, England's first half performance was all Stewart's fault!

Ben Shitehouse. His in-depth dissection of the handbags was forensic.

You’d have a group hug after every ruck if that were a catalyst.
