Was that a trainer interfering with the ball when it got kicked out by Wales? Should be a penalty.

Thought so in real time

[Billy Tell]

The 14 blew a certain try

[Bones]

Ok this rolling the ball back at the breakdown is a fucking disgrace. How about if the ball goes more than a metre from the original position, it's out?

[sparky]

Daly Dingwall scores in the corner for England.

England 13 Wales 14.

[Bones]

Forward pass from Daly, doesn't get checked.

14 pt swing

[Bones]

Yeah I guess no realistic chance of catching that, but harsh I reckon.

Wales are choking.

[sparky]

England 16 Wales 14.

[Bones]

Be interesting to see how much George balloons when he retires, considering the shape he's been in his whole career...

[MiketheSnow]

Outmuscled

[sparky]

All over. England win by 2.

Rugby is just a lottery now isn't it. How the referee did not call contact in the air there is beyond me.

[sparky]

Genge, Dan and Cunningham-South all impressive for England off the bench and swung momentum their way in the final minutes.

[akan004]

Cunningham-South looks good. How did we let him go?

[game_film]

Seen this game once. You’ve seen it a million times.

[Billy Tell]

Thought the English FB deserved motm.

[Catogrande]

Well a win is a win I suppose. We actually showed a bit more attacking intent, though in truth it was Ford's kicking game that got us over the line. Discipline was in marked contrast to Wales in the first half but this collapsed under pressure for Wales, which got us back into it.

So yes a W in the record books and we are 2 from 2 but we could easily have lost both those games and it was Italy and then this is not yet a vintage Wales team.

I'm a bit more encouraged by the intent but nowhere near happy about where we are and still unsure about the direction we're going. The acid tests are to come and it will be interesting to see if we keep that same degree of attacking intent when we are really under the cosh.
