Breakdown is shocking, as was the support for Watson when tackled.

Lack of back row sub being heavily exposed here.

Now how high is that tackle by Biggar?
Did he think he was challenging for a ball in the air?

Surely the TMO should be piping up there?

Moriarty is also a dick

To be honest, 6 - 6 draw is probably the fair result

It's alright, c4 also have Ireland Wales so there'll be some better rugby soon.

Completely forgot Manu was on. Billy looked shattered; let's hope he barely features in the next two games

It shows how badly the England team need a Curry.

Can't take anything positive from that. Was like going back a year or two- 12 penalties, lost the kicking duel and worst, totally outplayed on the floor.
(and whoever is in charge of mauling needs shooting)

Would it be childish and somewhat straw clutching to smirk at the Welsh celebrating this victory?

We are bloody clueless, from top to bottom. It’s all very well posting videos of how physical it is carrying a carpet but ffs

Not sure that was the problem so much as Lawes’ isn’t really a breakdown forward - plus Itoje was strangely muted in that respect too.

Jamie George was excellent when he came on......

Thats it. I really cannot think of anything more positive to say about that "effort"

We were frickin' awful.

Oh, and the Singleton as back up back row experiment lasted 4 minutes. Please no more of these ridiculous selections and late substitutions.

You can take a lot from this. You did very well against the World's No 1 team!

We also need to develop our next Simon Shaw - Kruis, Itoje,Launch and Lawes are all great athletes but none of them have out and out physical presence of some of the monsters the boks,Kiwis and French can spawn imo
