Maybe I am a grumpy old man but I have been frustrated with the AB tactics for a few years. A lack of pragmatism and tactical nous has been evident but because of the natural talent of the AB players, they have got out of jail more times than not
I think you're pretty much spot-on.
The NH teams seem to be ahead of us on doing the set-piece basics well while we are still ahead in ball skills. To Foster's credit, the drive from a lineout near the opposition's line has become far more effective this year.

Time to circle the wagons
Real blend of youth and experience necessitated through injury and shit form (North).
England by 24-29
-
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.
