Point a minute stuff, Wales don't look to be in a good place huh.

Victor Meldrew

Wish the AB's could exit as well as England.

Bones

That maul was clearly on the trot, why blow it up?

You will give anything to try and claim England are in a good place eh. Does Borthwick remind you of Foster? 😬

Victor Meldrew

@Bones

Nah. Just pointing out England exits in this game have been good.

PS: You forgot to slip in a mention of how shit you think Will Jordan is. :fishing_pole:

Victor Meldrew

How did LCD make that tackle?

Bones

What the fuck....how on earth was that Earl on his feet? That's fucked.

sparky

Wales so frustrating to watch. They score a try to get back in it and to send their fans into rapture, but then they concede another almost straight away.

sparky

And Wales concede again. They're fucked.

sparky

England have lots of ball carriers and a lot of power, but casual Welsh defence is making their life easy.

All but over by half time.

Wales 7 England 28.

sparky

England in for a 5th, but did Itoje knock that on?

sparky

They are checking it.

Bones

That's hilarious, Itoje walks away this time, knowing he fucked up.

Gets lucky.

Victor Meldrew

England's kicking game has been excellent. I blame Borthwick.

sparky

Interesting one. He touched it for sure. But did it go clearly and obviously forward?

Bones

Oh come on, if it's not knock on, it's at the very least accidental offside.

sparky

Wales 7 England 33.

Second half could get very, very ugly. England impressive, but Wales making it easy for them.

No.

Itoje tried to handle it, a player on the ground in front of him had to catch/steady it. If that's not clear enough then just go with one of the other two issues I reckon.

Not that it matters, but come on, that shouldn't have been given.

sparky

Martin Johnson pointing out the bleeding obvious to Gabby Logan. "It's tries scored that the crucial statistic there."

I'm with Nigel Owens. It didn't obvious go forward so no knock on.

pooler fan

Awful half from us even if England have had a few lucky breaks.
They're far too powerful all round.

sparky

Appalling goal line defence by Wales. The half-time replays make ugly viewing for their defence coach. Very soft tries.

sparky

I think England could score over 80 points here if they are ruthless. There's an opportunity to humiliate Wales and given them a record spanking at home.

pooler fan

@sparky think it's smart play by England. Wales scramble defence has been pretty good at times during the last 3 games. The little tip passes going into contact look like something Wales weren't expecting. England usually take the contact

sparky

43-9 in August 2003 against England is Wales' biggest ever defeat in Cardiff.

That record is clearly under threat.

sparky

Crap play by Marcus Smith. Massively overcooks a simple kick.

sparky

Jonathan Davies "Blair Murray could have had a hat trick."

In the same way I could have gone out with Cindy Crawford.

sparky

Wales knock on with the line open.

sparky

Wainwright with the butter fingers.

It might not have been hugely obvious, but the fact an offside player on the ground had to steady it kinda counts against that opinion.

Jonathan "bleedin obvious, space out wide!" Davies.

God, he's shit.

Ben Earl in at 12. Innovative for England
