Hard luck Wales, just couldn't do it in the end. No bonus point for Scotland despite their efforts in the last few minutes.

For all the criticism of England around their discipline that from Scotland tonight was a disgrace, I din't think i've ever seen a team fall apart so completley before.

3 away wins is interesting as well, that doesn't happen very often.

Interesting TMO decision at the end of that Scotland France game.

He very nearly changed it….stupid bit was he had a better view than the cameras

If that was a yellow card then rugby can fuck right off.

Both Yellows are super harsh, the decision to give a penalty try was really cheap given Earl had his arms around the ball.

Wonder if this ref is going to work out there are two teams to officiate?

[paul_e]

To be fair this scoreline isn't flattering Wales. What's funny is this is a really weak Wales squad, that England can't lay a glove on them is a fucking embarrassment. Borthwick is very quickly showing that he's not an international standard coach.

Wish England had Gatland.

Fin Smith would be a huge ramp up in quality. Our backs just haven't functioned at all and Ford is a b ig part of the problem.

No idea why Daly is still on either and Roots has been awful too.

RTE's coverage is bit ahead of ITV's, which is odd. Don't worry, I won't do any SCORRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOs.

A win is a win…two very moderate teams, so little incision on show

The thing about that is, Wales are strugglnig with loads of injuries and retirements to key players right through the squad. England don't have that excuse, yes there are some players with only a handful of caps but that's mostly due to Jones and Borthwick being scared to give them any gametime. Fin Smith is probably the form 10 in English rugby this season and he's been given 6 minutes across 2 games where Ford has been very poor.

It's a win but there just as many problems with England now as there was this time last year and I reckon we're on for 3 defeats from here now we've snuck through against the 2 wooden spoon contenders.
