Great performance by England, but the silly errors still there!! and its sooo frustrating!!

Ashton giving away a silly penalty for backchatting and warned later as well -i swear he is on a tightrope when he plays as he constantly making remarks to the referee.


Robshaw was great made more tackles then any other player on the pitch. His work-rate is immense, and gets the "dirty shirt" award (once again, he is undefeated in this award). I was also impressed with Parling in the loose again a very high tackle rate.


Shame about Botha i thought he was very good while he was on, his work-rate and tackling is great.

Somehow i just think England could make things soo much easier if they cut out the silly penlaties. I know we was not helped by the ref (sin bin of sharpes was a joke).


Morgan was great, i have a suspicion that teams will figure him out now as they know he is a great ball carrier and stop him in his tracks. More worringly is he seems to fade after 55-65mins. Is it his fitness? tactical i don't know.


Manu again was fanstastic great running and tackling. Barrit was as usual a rock in our defence kept things water-tight.

Farrell again played well, what impressed me in this game was his tackling ability he tackled hard he has a unusual high tackle rate maybe its a part of the game he has worked on?


The team on this form how can Tom Wood get in the side? I really can't think why against Ireland they got a good chance of winning.
