[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 799960, member: 38204"] I agree with almost all of Brian's overview there. From a Welsh perspective, I never felt that Wales had anything to gain from this game. Win and you beat a depleted England team, lose and it feels like you've not even played the full England team and lost. England have more than matched the breakdown and defensive intensity of Wales in the last two fixtures, and it's stopped Wales completely. Although the English team were hastily organised as Brian described it, you can't discount the amazing depth that English rugby has and that a lot of those 'fringe' players had a real chance to put their hand up for the jersey going forward. Wales didn't have that pressure either, and I feel it really showed in the intensity throughout the game. Well done to England. With the full team they have a real chance now for a test series win against OZ! [/QUOTE]
