England: Daly; Joseph, Slade, Farrell, May; Ford, Youngs; M Vunipola, George, Sinckler, Itoje, Launchbury, Curry, Underhill, B Vunipola.
Replacements: Cowan-Dickie, Genge, Stuart, Hill, Earl, Willis, Robson, Watson.
Something of a lop-sided bench with Eddie reportedly having Ben Earl training with the backs
@MiketheSnow I wish I shared your pessimism but obviously that would be my optimism. I think you know what I mean. I don't think this will be a run away victory, though I do make us favourites.
The only way this is going to be close is if you have multiple yellows and / or a red. -

Congratulations to Nigel Owens on being the first Referee to reach 100 tests.
And arguably the best of the lot.

Welsh scrum struggling. Another England penalty. 11-7.
Shocked that we're in this.
Thought England would blow us away within 20 mins.
England look dangerous with ball in hand but much improved defence from Wales.
Welsh scrum has struggled but Poite got that last one wrong. England slip and drop every time.

England with another penalty 24-13. England forwards much too good for Wales.
Can't expect to win matches with an average scrum and two hookers who can't throw the ball in straight / find their man.
Itjoe should have gone for 10 for the deliberate knockdown in front of the sticks.
Still it's not the 30+ point drubbing I expected.
So happy days
