Owen in at 13 which pleases me. Smith injured or a selection decision? Mike Williams banned - he is quickly becoming an utter liability.

You'd've said that this was an utter must-win for us.

Just started watching this. Absolutely delicious offload from Mapapalangi.

Great result, although disappointing that we took our foot off the pedal and let them get a bonus and kill our p/d. Our defence is worryingly porous and our set piece is still flimsy as hell, which is something that better (and more motivated) sides will take advantage of.

May has to start for England. He looks like he's taken a step up in every department this year - his work rate and interplay especially.

Puja

Looks to be a lot more vocal too?

It was nice to see Tait well involved, but kind of funny to see him look so slow when he made that break and have to let May run it in.

Does he know you feel this way? Watching the Exeter match I was already thinking he might be having a bad weekend with how many players had socks down around their ankles rather than smartly pulled up, and now this!
