@Dodge said in England v Japan - Autumn International:

Pretty sickened that Tom Curry is starting two weeks after being knocked out, second time in five weeks apparently. Don’t understand how that represents player welfare

Perhaps the Welsh physio signed his papers

Great opportunity for England to say a big FU to Eddie

Did that in the summer. This is unlikely to be quite so emphatic I feel.

Lawes is a waste of space at the moment, still too close to this England team.

Bones

Intrigued at the thought process that puts a team in red jerseys instead of white, due to a clash with white and red.

As windy as a game at Athletic Park.

Bones

Wales score first.

Dodge

Lovely hands from Smith, nice line from Lawrence. About time

sparky

Ben Earl scores after good work from Marcus Smith.

England 7 Japan 0.

Deliberate offside by Japan that denied a try-scoring opportunity. Should have been a YC.

Dodge

Fascinated how a two man overlap getting cut out by a guy 3 yards offside on his own fry line isn’t a try scoring opportunity. How have they not looked at that?!

sparky

Underhill in.

England 14-0 already. This will be an easy win for them.

Japan have gone backwards since the Joseph/Brown coaching era.

sparky

Tommy Freeman looking very sharp.

sparky

Marcus Smith doing very well behind a dominant pack.

Jamie George scores England's third off a 5m lineout drive.

sparky

Can England avoid taking their foot off the gas?
