[2015 Six Nations] Wales vs England (Round 1)

I really hope we have Steve Walsh on the bench.

England packing midfield with back row forwards to counter the welsh centres/wingers coming in to the channel, seems to be a stalemate there at the moment.

The comment 'Robshaw has to tell his team not to give away a penalty inside their own half' is just crazy if you think about it. 1/2p is such a huge weapon.
PS. henry, you sound like a dick! :p

Wrong! He has let the game flow and the mistakes highlighted were not visible to him!! England are being beaten by their own mistakes... Three charge downs and how many easy penalties!

Wales have only created one attack and scored a try so where are their vaunted backs!!

My opinion, he's whistle happy for rolling away but let the welsh lay on the ball. But that's fair as it's against England. A line out that should have been taken on the welsh 22 happened on the English one. That's good reffin to you I suppose?
 
I feel a big momentum change in the first 10 minutes of this half coming...
 
Can someone explain to me what England get out of passing to a forward standing still?

Extra camera time for the sponsors.

On the plus side, Watson looks a real exciting 'prospect'. Here's hoping he doesn't turn out like other English 'prospects'

Yeah, he's looked dangerous. I like the attacking prospects of this England backline. Looks far more dangerous than when Tuilagi plays.

Not his call..... Even the commentators said it was the linesman!!! In any case, the ball was over the line but was Watson's foot down in the 22 or just off the ground! Difficult to be certain and linesman should have a asked for video but not Garces fault either way!!
 
Awful tackling by Wales there. Faletau is having the poorest game I can remember for a long time.
England doing really well at the clear out, stopping Warbs jackling.
 
Excellent team try ably assisted by dreadful Welsh tackling........ Beginning of the end for them??!!!!
