Surely a PT though

MiketheSnow

Another fucking card

sparky

@Bones He fluffed the finish, but it should be penalty try.

MiketheSnow

That’s Plumtree done

Had a good match since he came on but he’s a penalty and YC magnet

Jet

Wales nearly have as many cards as points.

sparky

Tommy Freeman scores.

MiketheSnow

England look fantastic against 13

sparky

TMO again. A neck roll apparently.

Jet

1/6th of the players sent from the field today.

Go watch football fella

sparky

England's bench not really having the predicted impact.

Mediocre second half from them after the fireworks before the break.

sparky

England need to get Arundell in the game more.

sparky

Pollock knocks on, but the ref says fine.

Bones

Ref is way outta his depth

MiketheSnow

Put LRZ in white and England score 100

MiketheSnow

Better second half from Wales

Considering how many cards we’ve had and despite the points differential this is a better result than our last meeting

So progress 😉

MiketheSnow

England have looked great and poor

Alex Mitchell is so important to them. They've had the handbrake on a bit since he went off.

sparky

George Ford MOTM. Fair call.

MiketheSnow

England will need to do much better to beat the mighty Scots

sparky

Freeman in, very good finish.

sparky

All over. England 48 Wales 7.

sparky

England 8-9-10 axis is world class, their lineout is second to none and they have pace to burn out wide these days.

But some of their players make strange decisions around the park.

sparky

Wales showed character and resilience in the second half.

But in terms of physicality, they are way off Tier One Test standard. They might need to find a few Saffas with Welsh grannies.

We did

I’m a Big Ben Thomas fan but not in this set up

Hawkins in for the next match

@sparky we need to go back to basics somewhat I think. Decisions have been made to not select someone like Ross Moriarty for instance who thrives on smashing people from the 6 jersey. He's only 31, if he's still your best option pick him. The RWC is only what, 18 months away.

Why would Pollock want to be known as such a pillock?

Dyslexia?

I can see them losing to Ireland and France. Their current buoyancy is based on dismantling a team that was already in pieces and I'll always come back to one thing.

Borthwick is just a sane Robertson.

@MiketheSnow what's the point in us having a playmaker at 12 when we're rarely ever on the front foot?
We should be going back to basics and put someone like Harlequins centre Bryn Bradley at 12 & tell him to run down the 10/12 channel all day. At least then we may get some go forward.

That must have been awful for a Wales supporter. Just hope they show some improvement, any improvement would do, this year

Yep, I feel for Welsh supporters to Victor. Much as I cheering for them, they really seem to be missing so much. At no stage of test did they look to be doing anything but hanging on.
It even kind of showed with the crowd, there seemed quite large area of empty seats, whether it from Welsh not bothering to travel from Cardiff, just not something I noticed at 6Ns game before .
