Randall to get the hook come what may because Jones has preplanned Youngs' coronation on the hour.

We finally look like we have a pair of half backs to unleash some world class backs and we have only have donkeys as backs.

Malins has looked OK, Steward has done what's asked of him, but Slade and Daly are a horrible centre partnership. Nowell is done at this level unless he does something remarkable to step up two or three notches.

England will need to build a lead of at least 25 before Eddie’s finishers come on and throw the match.

It’s 15 random lads from the pub on Friday meeting up at 10am on Saturday for a run around.

He’s on his knees and laying all over that. How is that an English penalty.

Perhaps it should have read,” England need the directness, Cuthbert and Adams are Wales.” ?

I hope Curry is injured because I can't see what Simmonds brings to the game.

I know I often hate the reliance of England on the forward pack. But this is one of the worst and disjointed English packs I have ever seen.
Itoje has gone sh1te, over a number of matches this year.

So how many times since 2008 have England lost to Wales because our players have absolutely no idea how to control a game?
We look clueless a lot, but against the Welsh we save our special store of cluelessness for games we should be easily winning.

He's objectively had a good game and did against Scotland too.

Yeah, I know really. Seems to have turned a corner so fair play.

It's not helped by the fact the for about 50% of the time, Sinckler stands 5m off the ruck and then popping the ball to a near static forward behind the gainline.

He never ever had control of that ball. It's nonsense that teams are getting points for marginal penalties like that.

I know what you mean but you also can't stop teams having periods of dominance. England need to get better at converting theirs into points.
Also have to say England have ridden this last part out relatively well.
