Fair play, you usually get the penalty.
Which is madness. He had clean ball and actually stopped to look at the ref, allowing the English to grab it. It's like they have lost all sense that they are competing for the ball and not a penalty.

Thought we'd stuffed that for a second but good hands.

Nice try, run good lines and move the ball quickly through the hands and bingo - it's a simple game really

England actually, apart from some rusty moments, looking quite good. But you have to take into account the opposition.

I hadn’t considered the entertainment value of Wales getting an utter shoeing at home.

England looking decent, but think it’s difficult to overstate how bad Wales are

We know they do.

Not sure if i'm being harsh but this is a poor match and spectacle so far.

The Welsh scrum is really shoddy, the heights are all different and there is space between the players, they are not a tight unit.

Last match was much better. But since i was within 7 points on that one and did not predict a try fest here I have allowed myself something to be interested in it.

A couple of years ago, Wales would have scored there.

Everything Wales do is laboured, or the timing is slightly off, or the wrong option, it’s really poor. Just seem to have no real plan

England have played well in parts but 8 points is a poor return

I think Reffell would be more useful considering the type of match being played but not sure if he is fully fit.

Game summarised in 2 FBs:

- 1/2p was finished as a club player when he was at Toulon.
- Steward is good at one thing: catching a ball. So Wales spend an entire half kicking the ball to him.

For all the chat about how poor Wales are..England could very easily be behind

Backrow sooooooo slow to every breakdown and Wales then compound it by one out runners who would struggle to get support at the best of times.

Hmm. England have had a lot of ball but not done a lot, Wales look lost, yet it's a single try in it.

Some big backrow turnovers for England.

We always struggle against Wales, no matter what.

Lately we have an ability to pull ourselves down to the level of any team we play.

We've basically stopped moving the ball - sliced them open for the try, and then gone to sleep.

Listen mate! farrell has the most amazing kicking of any rugby player who ever lived so he should be given the freedom to show the world how great he is.
