That was late.

Nah, was clearly committed to the tackle as the kick went.

I think it was just about okay but didn't look good on the replays admittedly.

Humiliating thrashing.

Might as well use the rest of the 6 nations to blood some younger players now.

Embarrassing, an utterly shameful effort. Dreadful attacking and defending.

I think the biggest problem is that the sarries players haven't shown up, probably a mistakes by Jones to keep them all in, Farrell, George and Itoje have all been well below their normal standards.

Jonny May, hot-damn. Clinical finishing. My word I would laugh my head off if England came back from here...

Great second half from May, Genge has made a difference and Furbank has improved massively. A big part of the change is that we seem to have bypassed Farrell in the last 20 minutes and we're having much more impact.

Must not allow the improvement of the 2nd half let the players off the hook for a completely unacceptable 1st half

The scoreline doesn't look too bad in the end but all the damage was done in a truly abysmal first half.

Dismal for the most part. Make no mistake it was May brilliance that got the scores, nothing to do with the team. The team were laboured and had no plan at all. Also no intensity at all, weak.

Another year no grand slam. For a team with the resources we have it’s pathetic.

I agree, it's not one to over-react to though, we had the chances to win this so there needs to be a look at basics and concentration. There were a few bits of poor decision making as well, at one point we were camped on their line at 17-0 we got the penalty and we just carried on with the forwards, a sharp pass into the backs and there were lots of 1-on-1 matchups out wide, JJ, May, Daly and Furbank would've all fancied their chances, probably should've taken the 3 once we were given the penalty as well. Once we got on the board we were the better side by a long way but we left too many easy points on the pitch. in the first 50-55 minutes.

Youngs should never be near this side after that. Fucking abysmal.
Our play at the breakdown was abysmal.

Absolute pish.
