Ok, guesses for who's going to replace Ben Youngs?

Fingers crossed for Robson.  Hopefully not wigglesworth.

As I was worried about they've added Wigglesworth, I don't get why Jones is unwilling to call up Robson.

Him, rather than Robson, is fucking ridiculous.

Experience?

True but we already have the experienced box kicking 9 in Care, we need someone to attack the fringes and keep the defence tight, Care is ok at it but Wigglesworth is far too slow to be a threat.  Robson coming on after 60 would create loads of space.

Was about word for word what I was intending to reply. If we want finishers, that ain't Wiggleworth.

Care starts Wigglesworth is a finisher & JJ comes in for Teo.

I don't mind JJ in but still think Wigglesworth is a silly selection. Do we know who the sheep botherers have picked yet?

Great kick from Farrell for the first try. Less so for the conversion attempt.

Lots of England errors, Wales not taking advantage.

Good game, not a lot in it to be honest. Well done England.

I reckon that's the weakest set of 'finishers' we've had since he's been in charge, very little impact from the bench.  Wigglesworth just made us sooo slow.

Finished up with us just getting the result  which I suppose what it is all about.Had a chance 2nd half half to force it over being 4 yards out but when that failed it gave Wales hope.
