I still say the best game of rugby I've seen live was bloodgate. Which ended 5-6, but was so intense. And terrible weather. Mike Brown was excellent that day.

Yes but you had skin in that game

Skinner was good wasn't he... Shame about the injuries.

God, we had a good team. Kohn and Robson were a great pairing for a while. Wish we had locks like that now.

I'm going to risk looking stupid and say that I'm not worried about this Welsh team. If they had more of their first choice players I would be, but I can't see them really hurting England tomorrow.

Back row is England's biggest weakness at the moment, but I don't think the Welsh back row are that good right now either. Pretty sure England should have an edge in the front five too.

Hear 1/2p is out, replaced by Anscombe

Great news for England.

Big drop in defence and goal kicking.

Gatland's getting to look like hide the pain Harold...

Tbh, I'm a little worried about this Welsh team..there's an unknown quality about some of their players at this level, and they looked good against the Scots. Their backs have some flair and fluency and Patchell is a very good player. Losing 1/2p is a massive blow for them though.

The back row contest will be interesting.

funereal anthem tempos ...poor show.

great pass, Watson..

Great vision. Nice one Sherylle.

Easy as.

Farrel jizz-fest off to a fine start.

Smart kick Fazl..May's wheels do the rest, slippy deck helps him over.
5 - 0 after 4 min..I/man miss.

Dallagio making out Farrell’s kick was a gift from the gods.....I’d expect any back to make it.

Credit should go tomMay, saw it, called it, ran it

Faz going well though

They had an extra man there.

Ford/Faz on same wavelength ( contd.).Brown looks sharper today.

Yup, good signs all round.
I've even seen Cole carry the ball!

Welsh loosies starting to rise to it...

wasteful.

ref allowing both sides to mess about after pen. awards..sort it..

Nice line from faz.

And then a nice brave delay on the well judged pass to launch for the try.

He's playing genuinely well, finally deserving of his hype

Thought we messed that up there. Nice from Launch!

May sniffs in after sustained pressure with ball kept alive...
12 - 0 after 20 min.

Launchburys hands are so good but stick him under a restart and what happens to him?
