Owen Farrell's clapping is not normal.

Itoje needs to give him lessons

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

We play with some much less depth when Youngs is at 9.

Oh Manu you freak.

Have to say Binny has been doing an excellent job coming off the base of the scrum.

Big boy game from him, my MOTM

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Why DG when you have the advantage?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Gotta get on the scoresheet somehow

Did we have advantage?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Did we have advantage?

We did

 

[Bada-Bing!]

I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous. By that logic George’s lineout throwing is also completely untested because he’s never thrown a lineout in a RWC match.

But at least he’s thrown in a Lions match, which is the equivalent level. Look I am still unconvinced by him at the lineout. Need to see him more but to me it’s still the weakest part of his game.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Bumping off a defender directly into another defender is pretty specialist.

 

[ratsapprentice]

LCD is ****.

 

[ncurd]

Excellent job by England in a match I did have much hope for.

A couple of players Coka, JJ, Ford, Watson all sticking thier hand up. Everyone in the pack comes home with their heads held high. Going to be hard to drop some of these guys after that.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I miss when Youngs used to support like that every game

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Yeah that’s forward.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good line by the welsh 9 forcing that forward pass

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Good start.

 

[JonoCymru]

Making defence very easy there for England toward the end of that set. No intensity on the attack once it slowed down. Wales looking to grind them down but have to keep thinking of ways to attack.

Passage of play was far too slow and killed any remaining momentum we had.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Told you LCD’s throw was wonky.

 

[ncurd]

Wales...well what positive can you take from that? Apart from not being completely rubbish...
