A year ago, I posted to look out for a young bristol academy product called ellis genge. He’s on the bench for tigers today, be interesting to see if he gets on and how he plays if he does.

Have you seen the size of ellis?!?!?

I’ve put it on now thanks nb. I do love watching wasps play when they’re in the mood.

Yeah Genge just got on but looked like he was pinged at the first scrum?

Those Piutau brothers are handy.

Don’t we all?

Especially the refs!

Good game so far! Both decisions correct by the refs – ball stripped, but Youngs didn’t ground it, imho.

Just had a quick hello to nick wood, Gloucester’s most capped player today! Probebly won’t mean much to most rugby fans. and to fair considering the loss he was not best pleased, but even so one of the all time great English props!

Yes we have to reconsider the kicking tactic – just giving it away.

Commentary team are PITA. It’s not about the ref

Have they changed the offside rule re chasing the kick? 😉

(tbf not just in this match)

Thm – the kicks are in response to Wales rush defence. It’s now keeping them back a little, creating us some space.

The tactic is working now but not at the start – but we offside when chasing

12 and 15 having good times!!! 😉

Itoje having a stormer!!

Itoje is playing a blinder, especially with welshmen queuing up to be tackled.

Welsh line outs not remotely straight.

This implies Wales have had some ball! 😳

Will Wales turn up in the 2nd half ?

England very deserving of the score line so far. Not great but certainly no where near as bad as Wales who haven’t shown up yet. In fairness, England have played the right game, not allowing Wales to establish their normal structure or have any time on the ball to get in to any sort of pattern or flow.

Just seen the tmo replay for the disallowed try. Clear punch from Marler.
