It was right on the edge of Ford's range, he can handle about 40m before he struggles.

definite yellow, intentional knock-on to stop a try.

Good time to take the lead, I reckon we might see cips soon.

Shame England haven't been able to get more ball in the Wales 22 while they are down to 14.

Thought Business Burrell could have gone on himself here.

Mike Brown not quite at the races this game.

Agree as well with SCW that England's subs completely smack of pre-programming, and not based on the game situation.

Brown has been poor, he's the only back who's dissappointed me, he's also the only one who wasn't in form for his club last month, go figure.

Superb victory, well deserved.

Burrell and Watson were top class and JJ showed why he's a genius, he's our belated Greenwood replacement.

What impressed me was the intelligence, first half Wales were getting all over the ball on the floor and really disrupting us so we switched to an offloading game (led by Burrell) and demolished them.

Fantastic performance we were the much better side and had the ref been better we would have won by more.

Brilliant, loved it, even more so because you know how much it means to that lot over the border and how much they hate us too. Could have done without all that ridiculous lighting and crap at the beginning, just so OTT and getting out of hand. Glad we shoved it right back in their faces. I know Brown dropped a couple of try scoring passes but I still think he brings so much to the team, even if he has been off form in the league. Wonderful performance and I loved the emotion at the end.

Got to largely stick with the same team now. That centre partnership showed great promise and Watson is growing into the role. One downside was Billy V, who needs to show more intensity. I thought we held our discipline excellently in the face of dubious officiating.

Yes, very poor referee and I agree about Billy, neither of the brothers look very fit to me
