England with another penalty 24-13. England forwards much too good for Wales.
Can't expect to win matches with an average scrum and two hookers who can't throw the ball in straight / find their man.
Itjoe should have gone for 10 for the deliberate knockdown in front of the sticks.
Still it's not the 30+ point drubbing I expected.
So happy days

The tempo and communication between Young and Ford are outstanding. They direct everyone around them. The NZ 10s should be studying how George Ford plays and taking notes.
Sam Underhill MOTM. Good choice IMHO.

Fair enough.
Early Christmas present for Wales.
Should have been smashed.

If the NZR are serious about winning the next RWC, I suggest they empty their bank account and hire Mitchell. Watching the English defend compared to how we defend is pretty depressing, we look like a bunch of amateurs under McLeod.
Never ever. He can take his journey and stuff it.

Seen Pivac is bleating in the press.
Bad form.
Submit your report, await the findings, then air you grievances in public.
What should be more worrying is we were unable to run a practiced move off first phase ball all match.
That is all coaching , not refereeing

Watch England defend. You will change your mind.

I can't get over "Lord Botham". Sounds (and probably looks now) like a character from Blackadder.

He's certainly going off on one regarding the Biggar being taken out in the air thing Mike, what was your take on it? There was definitely contact before he landed but to me it looked as though he had unintentionally jumped into the England player. A penalty would have been harsh IMO. Overall I feel Poite had a pretty good game.

Trying to see a slow-mo of it.
Poite was all over the place with scrums otherwise a good match.

France trounce Italy with great try from Italy and impressive power, pace and guile from France.
England v France should be a cracker.

Agreed. Poite is pretty OK generally but I find him a bit inconsistent - can be brilliant one game and utter crap in others.
My reading was that Pivac was concerned that Poite refused to speak with AWJ about the incident, which if true is a very fair complaint. But as Mike sez, absolutely wrong to complain about it in public.

His only parliamentary contribution so far has been to ask for cash for grassroots Cricket. Hope he continues to use his role in the House of Lords to remind law-makers what a huge role sport plays in the lives of so many UK residents.
