BBC are basing Maro's stats on the RFU's website.

With that Welsh backrow England will be living off scraps but they have beaten sides before like that so fingers crossed

 

[ratsapprentice]

Schoolboy error.

 

[westernforce]

Cant believe I'm saying this but GO WALES!

 

[Bluemoon]

Here we are then gents. It all starts up front, as always, and it's going to take a very big shift to stop the English pack getting on the front foot. I think if Wales can get some quick ball they will look to run the new attacking patterns a few more times this week. Biggar brings players on much further back in the attacking line than Sam Davies, so I'm expecting more aerial attacks from Biggar to counteract the English rush defence.

Beautiful anthem.

Beautiful anthem.

which one?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Did Itoje and Moriarty play in the same England side, or were they a year apart?

 

[TheSaffycen]

Great by Lawes

 

[j'nuh]

Terrible by Lawes. Sometimes you get trapped in a ruck, but that was just stupid.

 

[Bluemoon]

Good start for Wales. Hughes smashed back and knocks on a few phases later.

Clifford captained Moriarty to a JWC.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

One thing that ref mic shows is how much shouting for holding on there is when players are nowhere near the ball, just holding a leg or something

I know, Wales are the worst for doing that. Such gobby ****es.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They should've been walked 10, then
Farrell goes to get the ball and the Welsh hooker threw it away
I thought they were supposed to be really clamping down on that?

 

[Groundhog]

which one? 

Land of our fathers/brothers/uncles (usually the same in Wales), not god save our German Queen.
This game is gonna be a cracker. Welsh need to be very accurate because the English have all the quality in their backs.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Some good structures there which were leading to overlaps. The messiness prevented us from taking advantage

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Furious start

 

[Groundhog]

That penalty Wales gave away is just something any good team doesn't do. Braindead.
