Well. we're 9 points better off then we were in Paris. But, we just don't look like converting the pressure we've put on England. England look much more dangerous in the Wales 22.

Dull constrained game plan; on the upside, the forwards defence, with Sinckler, Lawes and Curry to the fore is excellent. Kruis putting in a big shift again.

lol. Indeed. Youngs was pretty awful all told.
Apart from a couple of missed tackles (I'll let you guess who from) we looked far the better team, though. Just not sure about the reffing. Don't know if Farrell asked him about any of those really questionable decisions, because AWJ definitely asked him about the questionable decisions against Wales, and it's not as if he was favouring one team, he was just crap.

Yes. Wales have to play this fast and loose to have a hope, but England are very good on the counter against sloppy play. Pyper and his assistants seem to be missing a lot of offsides in the midfield defence.

Manu has missed a fair few.....I am a little bit worried out wide.

Faz was poor that half, that last play kinda summarised it.
Can we for once just take off 9 and 10, replacing both from the bench.

They've pinged England twice, once incorrectly.

Well, indeed.
I'm not too concerned with Adams, tbh, I'm not sure of his quality. But when Nowell doesn't have help, North could be a handful. But he's doing a good job of showing him inside so far.

Maybe the idea is to kick so much and then come the WC we can dummy kicks to get everyone to turn around while we keep running for the line

Note nothing was said about the very poor left to right pass from Farrell that killed the momentum when we were knocking on the door just before half time. Absolutely killed a great position.
