England with Ford at 10 are a top team. With Farrell...

Tom Curry looks the real deal.

Not the point, but that is a hell of a tackle by Liam Williams on Heinz just before the try. Literally anything less than perfection and Heinz is in.

#unpopularopinion I've actually been quite impressed by 57Varieties so far. Quick, clean passing, decent kicking - so far validating his selection.

Heinz is playing well to be fair.
Tbf, my stream is choppy. All I saw was him passing behind Curry then being in front of the carrier and getting in the way. Didn't see anything he did in between, before, or after until just now and his wrap around with Ford which was nice.

Taffs rusty. We look sharp on line speed, but gaps wide....

Can we take the #1 spot with a 16+ win?

Agreed on Heinz, bar box kicking. In their half he's been good with his passing.

Watson looks sharp.

Funny that both 15s play for Sarries, yet neither will be first choice 15 for Sarries

Soft as fck, Ludlam stayed down (and was held, but made no difference) and Billy should have had him. Total gift.

Cokanasiga's having a poor match, although I do appreciate him volleyball spiking the ball into Anscombe's face when trying to catch - if you're going to knock it on, do it in style.

Any win against a team as good as Wales should automatically make you #1.

I suppose this is about the sort of time that we would traditionally look to give away our early lead.

Daly and "big Joe" not impressing. Otherwise looks quite good.

Ford’s line/movement before the inside ball to Cokanasiga. Lovely jubbly.

More soft as fckness. Switching off and missing more tackles.

fck on Curry :(. And in a moment, back row utterly unbalanced.
