The performance. I thought England were disappointing, for all that pressure and little to no points. It didn’t help that Garces let Wales do whatever they liked. Aled Davies’ offside near the end being one of them.
Changes to be made. Playing a lock at 6 isn’t working, Robshaw covering 8 was useless. I would like to see Hughes come in at 8.

I think England deserved that on the whole. Too many basic errors from Wales, whilst we lost the aerial battle convincingly.
Still it's very difficult not to be very angry about the disallowed Anscombe try. I thought it was very obviously a try, with clear grounding!
Still somewhat heartened the the way we battled back into the game, and managed to get a few line-breaks in the second half which probably should have lead to more.
Congrats Enland, shouldn't have an issue getting to the final game unbeaten now. So the slam is very much on!

Thats the point mate, we dominated more of the game than Wales and had little to no points to show for it.
Totally agreed on 6. Underhill/Robshaw should be at 6. A Curry at 7 maybe? Or Simmonds if Hughes goes 8. We were poor at the breakdown, and an extra lock doesn't matter. We gave to many penalties away
We still won. They won't be partying on the streets of Total Network Solutions tonight (old joke, still funny)
Is it yearly thing that wales fans forget that the game is played over 80 minutes and the team with the most points win. England played well enough over 80 minutes to win the game.
This is where I mention that we actually won our independence. #1776

I'd covered that in my earlier post, and had enough room to humour him
Yeah, but but but. We only scored points in the first 20, and that means nothing
It's getting to the point where we can predict the reactions of certain Welsh fans (I love Wales btw, its beautiful). A parody so to speak

An okay game for 12-6. A bit disappointing for both sides that defences were on top in terms of their ambitions to be absolute world beaters. Really surprised by Anscombe at fullback as I'd not seen that from him really at Cardiff. Shingler also continues to exceed expectations.
If England slip up somewhere the bonus point situation looks like being decisive. I'm not convinced Wales are totally out of this if England have an off day, but with Henshaw's injury I think England can win it all without hitting top gear (again).

Its the new generation Wales, their best player and next generation is 30. He was fantastic tho
In all honesty, Gatland has ruined a generation of Welsh potential... And I want all the 6N teams to be strong :/

Score points in the first 20, well we couldn't score for the rest of the game so means nothing. Score in the last 20, just padding out the score after being dominated all game and means nothing. Absolutely dominate the game start to finish, corrupt officials. We have to face it, for every scenario in which England win, there is an excuse ready.
Would Wales fancy their chances in Dublin?
Yes they would. But I'm not Welsh! Best team in the world. Sam Davies etc etc..
Who can forget his performance during the Lions tour? Would be unfair to have him play in six nations as it would be welsh slam after slam.

No they failed to break down a knackered England side. Think Ireland will win with a BP
I said attempt...
