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

Well played at the death by England, apart from the Easter mistake England and Vunipola looked very solid in keeping their foot on Wales' throat.
 
Great second half performance, we left points out there but overall I am very happy with that :)
 
Ford mom? I thought Haskell, youngs or robshaw IMO.

Brilliant win though, still don't agree with the changes that were made.
 
Best individual performance I've ever seen from someone in an England shirt. Take a bow billy. Per minute he was immense
 
Very, very good win for England and that is why I do not understand why Ireland have been deemed overwhelmingly favourites! This was a team ravaged by injuries against the full Welsh team!

A win on the road against a serious contender marked up!!

Sorry Patchey but he was average at best!!
 
Impressive play from England's forwards, so many injuries and still such quality, Kruis and Haskell in great form.
 
Very as the blocking had no pact as the carrier was tackled Two yards away and more than two phases prior to try scored......TMO was wrong to draw attention to it!!

I think you need to pay attention to how obvious it was, Easter telegraphed how far out of position he was and that is the critical element. He took out a tackler from the line and it stood out like a sore thumb in the replay. Asking for a trouble, reminiscent of how the Aussies were using the 'dummy runner' a few years back before the officials rumbled them. That solitary error from Easter apart, England showed real tactical nous and a sharp improvement in killing off the game.
Wales need a wiggly winger, too many giant crash and bash merchants out wide makes them predictable.
 
Billy for MOTM, glorious performance.
Really? I thought his carrying was mostly harmless.

Ben Youngs for me, no doubt. Thought that the main improvement on this England squad from the Autumn was that he upped the pace on the game, and his darting around the fringes was excellent.

Ably assisted by Biggar who milked it but still not interfering with play and more than two phases before the try which are the only phases that the TMO can look at!!!

@Taginator.....love that!!!
