England v Wales - Team Announcement

[Oakboy]

Daly at 13 with Marchant the replacement replacement.

Cranky decision, IMO.

[El Tigre]

Would have preferred Marchant at 13 and Daley 23 but *shrug*

[Puja]

Makes sense when you think that Marchant's not been at training half this week.

[p/d]

I suspect the whole of Wales agree with you

[Mr Mwenda]

Nice tempo in the first minutes and better ball presentation.

[Galfon]

Steady Smith 6 - 0. Wal not dealing with kicks too good thus far.

[Mr Mwenda]

The Welsh prop's hips are above his shoulders. Is this the England prop's doing and why it is a penalty?

[Danno]

"They can't give away two penalties"

Williams has forgotten who Wales are playing against

[Galfon]

Ref's whistle getting plenty of hammer.

[Mellsblue]

Any back/head tapping of an oppo player should automatically reverse the pen.

[Mellsblue]

Embarrassing from Dombrandt.

[Mr Mwenda]

So what is the issue with the scrums? Are the pack just arsing around again?

The ref is comedically bad and doesn't know his arsehole from his earhole, so both packs are taking the piss.

[Mellsblue]

Starting to think it’s a deliberate tactic to kick away overlap ball in the 13 channel.

The easiest way for him to work out which is which is to realise he’s whistling with his arsehole.

Knock ons as well?

[Mr Mwenda]

Ewels has played ok or has the occasion lowered itself to him?

[twitchy]

Not a great game.

[Mellsblue]

So refreshing to watch an England 9 & 10 being allowed to play what they see in front of them.

[Mr Mwenda]

No yellow card for all these red jerseys at the base of every attacking ruck England have?

[Mr Mwenda]

Swedish commentators reckon England ay creating aught and Wales are at least trying...

[Puja]

Ewels is a bit hard done by on here - he's not great, but he's not terrible and he's doing a pretty solid job so far today.

Swedish commentators don't appear to be watching the same game as everyone else.

Puja

[Spiffy]

Not a great game.

Sloppy stuff all round from both teams. Flat stuff after watching France.
Cuthbert justifying his selection with a couple of good runs. Seems to have the measure of Nowell.
Wales frittering the game away through poor discipline.

[Oakboy]

12-0 flatters us a bit but we've had the better of a bad game, just.
