What the hell do I know about rugby..?,Wales put on a master class in the last 20 to take the win thought they were out of the contest at halftime..congratulations Wales..great bit of skill from the winger to take the high cross kick and take the victory..
Real change for me was Wales getting under the skin of a few of the English players..Sinckler especially..! -
Finishes 21-13. England went to sleep in the last ten minutes. This meant a lot more to the Welsh lads. Amazing passion from the crowd too.
Coaching master class from Warren Gatland who gets one over his old mate Cueball.

Beautifully illustrated by kicking off straight to the winger who only moments before had out jumped his opponent to score. He then out jumped the chaser, surprise!
This BBC interviewer is a fuckwit.

Lol so what else is new? Other turning point for me was Biggar coming on for Anscombe. Was much more assured and absolutely committed.

Oh christ. Brad Shields is on.

England lost that game more than Wales won it
Shit tactics in the second half
Anscombe rubbish
Navidi MOTM. Billy was nullified.

Fair point but....
I know it's easy to be gracious in defeat and hard to hide your disappointment when you lose, but fark me, Owen Farrell was so effing graceless in the post-match interview. Don't they do media training?

That's what Owen Farrell has been like since he was a teenager. To be fair to him though, can't be easy after losing a big test to give an interview straight away and not sound like a bit of a pissed off git.

@sparky the lady doing in the interview is a total muppet with absolutely no empathy..why did you lose the game..?..having did several years of radio sideline eye,not the question you ask a losing captain..

One of these men is Welsh

Wales didn't really offer much, did they? England made 210 of 223 tackles - that's an incredible defensive performance. I think the amount of tackles just made England tired in the end. Even when Wales did score, they needed over 30 phases to do it and a very good take. England looked a lot more dangerous with ball in hand and their defence great. I'm still a lot more worried about them than the Welsh.
Wales showed an incredible amount of grit though. For the first 65 minutes I thought they had no chance of winning that.

Welsh half back absolutely taking the piss the whole game with playing the ball to the back of the ruck so it's in a perfect position. Which he does by using feet then hands, until it's half a metre out of the ruck, then places both hands on it for aaaaaages before picking up.
Got to stop. Ref's should start calling it out.

It was bloody bullshit. One time he actually moved the ball forward with his hands - should have been done for knock on.
There was another time Wales had no half back so their player actually pulled the ball back into the ruck. Vunipola I think came around but was penalised. Wales got rewarded for shit organisation.

Not sure I follow that logic. England appeared supremely dominant yet still couldn't beat a rather limited Welsh side? Not hugely worrying from my perspective.

We struggle when an opposition is tough to break down though. We don't score tries after 35 phases. Our players just aren't good enough to hold the ball that long. Barrett will do a silly grubber kick.
England's problem was that they just didn't get enough ball in the second half.
