Cole seems to have got something back in the scrum but is such a penalty magnet now.

England fitness lacking or Wales upping their game as Eng. take foot off gas ? who knows, but Wales nearly make best come-back since the last one.

Deserved win for England, but we nearly blew it at the end.

Wales done well when we were a man down, but it would have been daylight robbery if they won that. It was almost shades of games in the past when they nicked it late on against us, and certainly that game against Scotland when Shane Williams went over for a try in the final secs.

Thankfully that never happened and we got what we deserved, not good for the heart though watching that(for either sides fans).

Grand slam is on.

More that Wales didn't really start playing until Cole's yellow. Having said that Wales should have had someone in the
bin for their constant not rolling away especially after Joubert warned them near the end of the 1st half & they did it a
couple of times more after the break

Thanks for the updates Galfon. I was on steam powered text only.

Fewer thanks to Mike Brown for the tantalisingly unhelpful "WTF"

Very pleased with the win but we made hard work of it and had to endure a far tougher ending than should have been the case.

Again we failed to score points when in position to do so. We've got to make more of openings we create.

Still, 4 out of 4 is not to be sniffed at. Itoje really impressive.
