So is Marler.

Bloody hell

Great finish though!!

Thank **** for that.

so, that touch…….

England nearly lost that through stupidity. Need to get rid of both Cole and Youngs, liabilities.

I was jumping on my bed in the end – that was a great attempt by Wales!

I think England got drawn into an open game in the second half. 19-0 up, play conservative and we would have been comfortable.

Itoje was immense, Watson brilliant under the high ball. A lot to work on, but we are 4 & 0.

Well played England. Much better team throughout. Itoje was great.

Agreed.

This.

@olddog – nonsense, both will be part of the Gramd Slam winning side next week. Welsh 18 should have had a straight red, fingers to the eyes. Totally bottled by the TMO, “not enough angles” wtf

Jones will rightly give the side a rollicking for the last 5 mins but taking Ford off was an error. Hopefully he’ll see first hand what a differemce it makes with him at 10

By that record, both teams should have been at 14. One for rather more of the game.

I’d like to see Ford in a game where 50% of the passes aren’t too high, low or arrive at the same time as the back row…

Cole got up from that ruck holding his eyes. I think we will see a ban there.

North Try a big fwd pass, but a great end. When the Welsh backs attack at speed they look bloody good!

England looked shabby with the replacements on.

Maybe England were tired, but poor decision making. Poor pass to 10, poor decision to kick Billy going for intercept giving centre the outside. Holding ball in maul too long. Not seeing the obvious pass to Watson.

Also I don’t get the mentality of take the yellow to stop the try. when 18 points up just and 10 to go, just defend legally and run down the clock.

Watching England is too stressful for me! I should just enjoy the win and the real positives.

A good experienced team with 15 men

A good inexperienced team with 14 men

Must have been particularly fun for a neutral

And who won the back row battle – perhaps the lack of stupid penalties (Haskell’s neck roll apart) gives the answer??

Yes. Apart from Joubert.

Anyone else notice that they replaced robshaw with a prop? He must have been shattered, he played very well indeed today. Watson, Brown, Kruis all did well too. Nowell was getting pulled all around defensively at the end, hence North getting joy where he wasn’t getting any earlier on. Mako was out there making cover tackles!
