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.
Poor second half from England, got what they deserved
Brilliant match. Kept them narrow, brought on Biggar then went wide. Didn't let England kick into space to attack.

Wales did ok, but England lost the game rather than Wales winning it. I don’t mean that to be antagonist or disrespectful at all. Wales capitalised really well, but England were below par. It also showed how important Farrell is, he was off his game and the team’s game dropped a lot.
Yes I’d still say England are much better shouts (if key players are fit) for the World Cup than Wales. England’s best game can probably beat anyone in the world.
Can someone explain why we kicked so often and so poorly.

When it works it's brilliant but yesterday it was abysmal.It reminds me of other England teams that have bottled it in the past, just kept kicking it away at every occasion.I have allways believed that the box kick is a massively over used tactic as was the case yesterday.The drive just before half time when Farrell went for the spectacular was the game,if England come away from that drive with points we win.
