England vs Wales - Sat 5.30pm - A New Hope

[jngf]

Welsh playing a 6 at lock - wish we would

[jngf]

Lawes is a one trick line out pony -old man trying to play a young man’s game

[Insouciant]

Great run from Lawrence... some good interplay too... then back on brand we fail to secure the ball

[Puja]

The game appears to have started, although we are still losing the ball regularly. Lawrence looks a different player when we give him the ball in a wider channel.

Puja

[jngf]

Will Stuart looks a dead ringer for Mike Teague

[Puja]

Great run from Lawrence... some good interplay too... then back on brand we fail to secure the ball

Our attacking rucks have been poor. Wales have been able to interfere with the 9 so often because we're not securing the ball well enough.

Ref is about to yellow card Cole after 10s on the pitch...

Puja

[Mellsblue]

Sweet baby Jesus this is low quality fare.

This

[Oakboy]

I can't believe Willis is still on the bench.

[Puja]

Arundell being substituted after receiving zero (0) passes.

Puja

[Margin_Walker]

I know he got binned, but are you really going to take Arundell off without passing him the ball once?

FFS

[Insouciant]

Ford on for Arundell... Marchant to wing, fazlet to 12

and Genge binned

[jngf]

I can't believe Willis is still on the bench.

Lawes is proving why his best position is lock - anonymous as a fetcher and carrier imo

[Oakboy]

That's all I fucking need - Farrell at 12.

[Puja]

I do like this ref. He's not been perfect, but he's decisive and unsympathetic to players fucking about.

Puja

[Puja]

Yellow and penalty try.

Puja

[16th man]

Will Wales show any interest in trying to use the spare man to play some rugby, as we didn't show any.

[Oakboy]

I do like this ref. He's not been perfect, but he's decisive and unsympathetic to players fucking about.

Puja

Best part of the action.

[badback]

Bleh

[16th man]

Good lord. Very dull from Steward, he's got to realise he's not winning that in the air and just get ready to smash Adams when he lands.

[Puja]

We're hoping they've scored that.

Puja

[16th man]

It's actually a brilliant piece of defending on Williams. Just a shame about the idiocy before.

[Puja]

Good lord. Very dull from Steward, he's got to realise he's not winning that in the air and just get ready to smash Adams when he lands.

In fairness, he's having to pelt across to try and make up the ground and Adams does jump quite late. He's had to go top speed to even get there and he's got no way of stopping when Adams changes position.

Puja

[jngf]

Time for Sir Boris to get out his Spinning guide signed by A. Campbell?

[Insouciant]

This is like the Martin Johnson days. Poor discipline and cr'p rugby.

[Oakboy]

Christ, where do we stand if we lose this? What a shambles so far!
