Smith with two terrible errors! An obvious pass to Arundell and he kicks it and then butchers one the other way to Malins!

Gotta like Chile, not overawed at all. Fair fucks to 'em.
England might find it easier if they'd tried running passing before this game.

We're being a bit a shown up by their ability to move the ball.

Reluctant to say it, but Farrel's left to right pass there was absolutely bang on.

Was a nice pass from Farrell. I fear the commentator is waxing a bit too lyrical about his overall performance....

Billy V's using his hands a lot today - lots of little offloads and holding the ball in two hands. He looks a lot better when he does that.
Ollie Lawrence losing the ball in contact. Quelle surprise.

Malins not doing much to dispell the theory that he's an empty shirt.

That Smith try was good, but not the magic Ugo seems to think - I saw literally the same play, with the same result, against Tewkesbury this afternoon

Hopefully that will relax Smith! Great individual try! He’s looked very tight / over trying in that first half.

And one point of note! Our ruck speed is still glacial!

Well Chile haven't turned up, after the first try what little fight was in them disappeared. England still a bit error strewn but the victory is already all done and sorted.
Theo Dan looking decent and the scrum in the ascendency.

I am watching on a computer stream with a couple of commentators from Australia (or maybe NZ?) They are full of non-stop over the top gushing praise for Faz for doing the ordinary. Embarrassing to listen to the clueless twaats.

Several have been really poor, I find it ridiculous that this doesn't appear to have been worked on.

It's a US based service but they have the World Cup. Its about 5 quid a month. Maybe blocked outside of US

England looking ok tbh. Given how poor they were in the 6n and warm ups, probs going to finish top of their group and a decent chance of making good progression deep into the WC, can't be too unhappy with that if you're an England fan, surely?

Fat Bjorn Borg at 6 likes a lie down on the wrong side of the ruck a bit doesn't he?

Surely there's an argument here for giving Smith 20 minutes at 10.
