Handed to England on a plate that one.
Can't believe England are gonna win... felt like Wales the whole 2nd half

Good clean game too. You can see the mutual respect at the end.

Good game. Wales were always hanging in there and it looked like England would blow them away in the first 10mins.

We weren't robbed,we kicked the ball in the air for the england players to run onto at speed.

Arghhhh!

Should have smashed that into the stands...

Or taken the points from the kick in the first half.

WHY

DIDNT

HE

KICK

IT

OUT?

Brilliant game, Wales scored through a moment of sheer class, England held on, then the pressure told.

That really could have gone either way.

Awesome

Awesome

Awesome

Now for an X-ray 😉

Daley to #15, George to start. Can we carry Ford????

Jiffy got one thnf right - we were more dangerous with ball in hand.

What a game!!!

Mikey - true, it was going to hurt them at some point, but it was obviously a tactic.

Quality test match. Fine win but equally I would have no complaints had Wales closed it out. Much better than last week.

Edit: I'm not Farrel's biggest fan but fabulous pass for the final try and probably needed to be that good.

Absolute classic game, Wales were better in huge amounts of the game. Such a cracking advert for the game. Have a good evening chaps!

Sorry, very well played Wales. Two great sides make an awesome match. Respect to all.

I really like that Daly and Nowell are smart players. Not hulking monsters, but they make yards most of the time and really look composed in the crazy situations when they have to turn and make big decision in defence.

Get in!

Just rewatched the last try. Biggar was the cover, and looked knackered and couldn't get across.

Beg Leigh's pardon, it was Davies who blew the kick. No matter what the "tactics", at the end of a game like that the ball has to go dead.

It was a classic and really could have gone either way. I don't think Wales were robbed; it was fine margins and neither team was ever in control. So few unforced errors absolutely great game.

TBF can we now have a gif with (unlucky) Cuthbert punching the ground this time as WE score AA?

Only fair.... 😉

Was Eddie thinking about Daley at #15 in the interview?

Really fantastic game - re. That last try, the ball should have been kicked to touch so not only cuthberts fault... but the most you see of him on the footage is him looking pained when he's messed up.

Plenty of great performances.

Great match, superb sportsmanship (esp Farrel after the late tackle in the first half) and true grit from both sides. I'm glad England won but wouldn't have grumbled if Wales had taken it.

Loving that. Great game, still surprised England won!
Gorgeous George is by far the best hooker in the Eng team, would like to see Daily tried at full back, but only if Watson is in the wing opersit Nowell.
Welsh backrow head and shoulders above England as I thought they would be, but with the 5 starters back from injury, England are in a very good place.

Very well reffed - late tackle apart!!!

But great that we had 30 players on the pitch, playing with awesome intensity and commitment but no yellow cards

I thought the very average Jake Ball was brilliant today he put in a massive shift.
On that last kick Wales should have had the 9 kick to touch and not put it back to Davies as Biggar was still out of position. The 9 has to take charge. We'll never know if Davies meant to slice it down the middle but what we do know is that he's a pretty agricultural kicker at the best of times.

Yep, ballsack was immense. I didn't notice a shocking game from anyone to be fair, obviously a few poor moments but everyone deserved their place

Did look like it was so far infield that he would never have meant it to go there,just one of those things,but if you keep giving the ball back to strong opposition its only a matter of time,seems a very weird tactic(from a casual rugby fan,wo has been watching rugby all his life)

great game today. Nice to see Lawes hanging onto the ball in the tackle too.

Good finish for the try for England.

Farrell had a great game even if he did miss some kicks. He tackles really well and didn't complain after he got hit.

Farrell back at #10?

Among all the action - easy to overlook how good the England set piece was today.

Anyone else spot Tips blatently holding on to Itojes balls in a ruck? All part of the game, amd it didnt seem to phase Itoje at all.

Massive effort by Launchbury too.

You must have noticed what looked like a gouge on Moriarty's face in a first half ruck? Didn't seem to phase Moriarty at all. 😉

(I didn't rewind it to watch it again so it may have been a dodgy camera angle, but I'm surprised that the TMO didn't refer it to the ref.)
