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

The tempo and communication between Young and Ford are outstanding. They direct everyone around them. The NZ 10s should be studying how George Ford plays and taking notes.
Sam Underhill MOTM. Good choice IMHO.

Fair enough.
Early Christmas present for Wales.
Should have been smashed.

If the NZR are serious about winning the next RWC, I suggest they empty their bank account and hire Mitchell. Watching the English defend compared to how we defend is pretty depressing, we look like a bunch of amateurs under McLeod.
Never ever. He can take his journey and stuff it.

Seen Pivac is bleating in the press.
Bad form.
Submit your report, await the findings, then air you grievances in public.
What should be more worrying is we were unable to run a practiced move off first phase ball all match.
That is all coaching , not refereeing

Watch England defend. You will change your mind.

New Welsh 7, James Botham, is Lord Botham's grandson.
I can't get over "Lord Botham". Sounds (and probably looks now) like a character from Blackadder.

He's certainly going off on one regarding the Biggar being taken out in the air thing Mike, what was your take on it? There was definitely contact before he landed but to me it looked as though he had unintentionally jumped into the England player. A penalty would have been harsh IMO. Overall I feel Poite had a pretty good game.
