There's 3-4 outstanding performances so far, sinckler, lawes, curry and Billy V are the 4 best players on the pitch and it's making the difference.

Worrying start to the 2nd half, being dragged down to their level.

And our discipline appears to be abandoning us.

Farrell had had a really poor game so far by his standards

Just need to get a grip. Wales aren't causing a threat themselves. We'll only lose this by throwing it away

And there we go, a poor knock on leads to all that. Jones needs to change this

Abysmal 2nd half performance. What the hell changed at half time?

Got what we've deserved for as bad a half of Rugby we've played under Eddie Jones.

Simply not good enough.

Farrell is normally exceptional, but he’s had a shocking game.

You've got to give massive credit to Wales, they not only managed to stop England playing, they also got points on the board. England can have no complaints.

Sinckler cost us that without a shadow of a doubt, clearly Gatland targeted him and it paid off.

That said, Jones’s subs were fucking abysmal, players were out on their feet after 60 minutes and he makes wholesale changes with 5 to go. Shit.

2nd half they broke things up and appealed for everything and we just didn't adapt to how slow things got.

England need to learn to convert dominance into points in tight games. Also not a big revelation but Itoje and Mako are huge misses.
