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

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.

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...

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
