Looked like a slap down to me. He's a lucky boy the ref thought it went backwards otherwise it's a yellow. He's got no chance of catching it at the height he slaps it down and there was England men over.

Grim stuff, especially compared with the earlier match. SB has it right. Those who don't get a ferry ticket are in this starting XV.

You can’t actually use the TMO to rescind an advantage over call. That’s not actually in the rules. He called advantage over in play: you can’t just change your mind.

Now I hate our commentators who are waxing lyrical about Welsh rugby having turned a corner because of the scrum penalty and try.
Pitiful d there.
Both teams doing the 8 own team mates in a caterpillar ruck and no opposition... A classic of the weak team.

Take it back Re Morgan that was a Micky Skinneresque hit on Pearson!

Not convinced we have RWC winners material on display today.

Why is Smith you blame for Stuart throwing a bad pass?

Decent break undone by a Prop making the pass from a ruck to Smith's knees

Even when we manage to string a couple of decent things together, you just know the knock on is coming.

Costelow looks like he’s class. Gatland will drop him…

Ref pinged their scrum in the first half, and has just decided to go the other way after half time.

To be fair, if you see a prop is playing ersatz 9, it's not the time to make a last-minute switch to the blind side, no matter how much space you think you see. Asking a lot of Stuart to change direction mid-pass.

Or it’s 2023 and you should be able to trust any test player to make the pass. Not doing something because you don’t trust your team mate to execute a simple skill is a bad place to be

I shouldn't have put this on for the second half should I? It's been pretty uninspiring.

It's a proper throw away selection, but you'd have hoped we'd have been able to get a functioning line out sorted regardless of who went onto the pitch.
Feel a bit sorry for Marchant, who might have needed a good performance to cement a place, and hasn't done a great deal wrong, but is just stuck in a malfunctioning back line and suffering for it.
