Wales v red roses

Post by Mr Mwenda »

3-17 at half time. Good game this as far as I can tell on a tiny screen on a train journey. Wales scrapping and England scrappy early on. Although if one believed the commentary team one'd think the Welsh have taken rugby to a new level... England seemed to be struggling with the Welsh breakdown tactics initially but now seem to have got the hang of it. Wales show good ball retention but lack a cutting edge.

Abby Dow with the pick of the tries after she beat 6 defenders going down her wing.

Good effort for the first half hour by the Welsh, but it's been a bit of a beating in the 2nd half.

Anything better to watch in Rugby than a tight head rampaging down the wing, before throwing a glorious scoring pass inside?

3-59 final score. Some really nice stuff with Wales disintegrating under pressure.

Saw the opening half and a few snippets of the 2nd. Wales gave it a go early on but once England got some control and cut out the errors it seemed like one way traffic. Great turn out at the Arms Park.
