    That was a boring kick fest of a match. England didnt have to do much. Wales are absolutely clueless on attack and look only average on defence at best. Wales coach = poison chalice.

    We were truly awful, wooden spoon incoming.
    Can't see this side getting any joy playing Italy never mind the French.
    Jiffy saying Wales lacked experience - it was the experienced players stinking the place out.
    AWJ ,Tipuric & Halfpenny have been superb servants but their time has gone I'm afraid.
    English didn't have to get out of 2nd gear to win that.

    We have a guy over here that is very good at taking Gatland's stinkers and turning them into a good team.
    And we'd like to keep him

    You don’t often see a game where both sides deserve to lose badly but that was one. Awful. Wales a little more ambitious (not difficult) but a little less accurate (actually quite hard). Just a boring kick fest of unimaginable mediocrity.

    My first point is

    Who is this Irish fluffybunny I had in commentary?? He did not stop talking the entire fucking game. And not calling the action, just inane rubbish about players as they touched the ball. And the woman wasn't much better. And in many many occasions they didn't even really understand why things had happened, just used everything as a chance to use pre-prepared talking points.

    Yeah this game was for "the purists" very little visually to get excited about.

    But there is a fucking good team in this England squad threatening to break out. Defensively they are fucking good. Look at the Wales linebreak after the 40 minutes is up, Wales shift it and England are not only reorganised but still get excellent line speed to shut the play down.

    Their set piece try was a sexy move. They have huge ball carriers. And pace in thr backs. But the attack just sucks, and gets lost too early in the phase count. Is it Farrell?

    Wales are just bog ordinary. They tried really hard tonight but they just don't really have anything.

    I noticed this just from the extended highlights I was watching. I think it made me miss Nisbo mangling every brown player's name as he called the action that was actually happening.

    That would have been a short highlights package

    I'll take that

    First England try was NFL

    We can definitely be 10 points better for our potential QF WC match up

    Come on, he would have had no trouble with Olo Brown.

    @MiketheSnow But where to now for Wales, Mike? Ok get players contracts/pay sorted, but after that? Coaches have already been swapped out. Some older players need to be dropped but not all. Wales is a proud rugby country. Need a new direction/thought pattern and fast.
