We are completely crushing the scrum.

Youngs goes over, give Lancaster the job. I'd be enjoying this without the Muamba situation.

The muamba thing overshadows it a little but I think today shows just how right we were to go for Morgan, fantastic performance.

However, Corbisiero was our best player, he absolutely destroyed Court (after being on top against a very good experienced scrummager in Ross), back row, and in particular 8 is a great position to play when the scrum is dominating, you have so many options, Morgan showed that he has the brains to use those.

I repeat my calls for Lancaster to get the job, he could've done no more. England can be respected as a team again, and we will only improve. He deserves to be given the chance to continue his work, and the team clearly want him. Let's not forget Mallett didn't fancy the job for the 6 Nations, so let's see how Lancaster can do.

I was at Twickenham today, seeing the Irish scrum get dismantled was very pleasing indeed esp as I was sat amongst the Micks on Paddys Day.
I thought Tom Croft was immense again today, shame he dropped the ball.
Tom Palmer came in and did a great job again as did Youngs, good boost for his confidence he's a great player.

Disappointed Ashton didn't really see the ball, I think England need to be a little more expansive & adventurous if we are to see his best again.

This is my only worry with lancaster, the current 10, 12 and 13 are all very structured defensive choices but they don't give the wingers or full back much ball.

With the talent we have coming through (anthony watson, christian wade and johnny may) it would be criminal to not make the most of them, maybe when Burns and Ford are ready for a call up we'll see a more progressive side but, whilst I'm really happy with how things are at the minute I'm not sure Lancaster is the right person for the next world cup.

I see Mallett has said he doesn't expect the RFU to change the coach as the team looks so happy.

Youngs' try yesterday was very much more like him at his best, quick instinctual play.

Ben Morgan for England and Alex Cuthbert for Wales; Gloucestershire rules the rugby world !
