Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Fantastic game; but players not quite on the same wavelength, and maybe a little overhyped. That'll come.
Hats off to Carwyn James though - played very well.

Hats off to the Welsh 10 who has a fantastic kicking game, and to the English one for calmly slotting the winning conversion.
Some good bits, some not so good which really is to be expected in a young side.

Welsh ten is playing two years up!

Today's game link. 16:45 kick-off

Thank you - annoyed that I'll miss this - but at least I know it's available to watch later

Game started 1215 GMT

Me too sadly. Some really intriguing games on today.

A comfortable enough win with plenty of good stuff. Friday was very good at 9 and several others had some strong moments.

Wednesday next play?

In other news Georgia U18s beat France 20 v 19!!

Friday is very good. Had a horrible season with injury, but back with an impact!

Jonno Balding is Clare's nephew, I believe, so we can expect some impressive link play.

Hopefully it won't turn into a dog and pony show.

Just as England got out of jail in the opening game against Wales, they found a way to win in their last fixture against Georgia.



Very impressive overall tournament for The Lelos.

Just as a recap for this tournament.

First game against Wales saw England score five tries. These came from Hogg, Weimann, Tracey, Pearson & Knowles. Linegar converted 4/5 and also kicked a penalty.

Game against Scotland saw England score four tries. These came from Kelly, Newton, Offish & Rawlins. Linegar converted all of the.

Last game against Georgia saw England again score four tries. These came from Offiah, Sam Graham and a double from Nick Lilley. Dan Green converted 2/3 and Bateman-Champain converted the last try.

Our lads found a way to win. A trait that isnt to be sniffed at. Some talent in this squad.

Very promising from Georgia. Their u20s showed up well last season so this is another encouraging sign.
