Lawrence has made a solid contribution - seems a good fit for this gameplan.

Not sure how you can criticise his attacking play tbh. We haven’t done much
I'm not sure I was especially. He's had it a couple of times and crashed it up or hoofed it away. I just meant it's weird to still see his position/tackling/fielding shown up when there's no attacking threat on show to gloss over the basics.

Not entirely sure what George and Youngs were doing with that maul.

Yes, looks at home. Switching positions around in attack and defence isn’t easy.

England starting to fray a bit on the edges now. Sharpness has gone and mistakes creeping in.

Barely seen Slade. Not surprising given who's inside but still

This is the sort of slipshod lapse in concentration we have to avoid

Yeah, must be time to switch some of the forwards. We must be up to 150+ tackles

Good test for Eng defence, after well-set maul.
Passed.

Not a chance in hell that he was bearing his weight there. Blatant and poor refereeing

The disparity between the two teams total tackles is ridiculous.

On that note I'd love to see Underhill's dominant hit stats.
