If Jones does not give Robson/Ford a run now, he never will.
Tuilagi doesn't seem to be carrying that much excess to me, looks fit.

Billy V on the other hand....

LOL. Farrell has finally accepted that he can't pass off his left hand.

Italian left wing has now been directly responsible for 3 tries due to weak first up tackles.

Fuck this. His stubborness over the half backs is verging on criminal.
Our outside backs defence is utterly shyte.

Are we learning anything at all from this? Except that we're as boring as Wales/Ireland?

Great stuff, sub the front row and ship a scrum pen. From being ok 1st half, am now resorting to snorting tequila. So depressing.
