Two fantastic performances from England and they suddenly deal again capable of taken on anyone. I hope this isn't a case of peaking too early before the WC but of the team coming together perfectly. France were taken apart in the first 30 minutes with simple efficiency

Despite being decimated with injury, resulting in 4th picks for some positions I am quite impressed that Scotland can still field a decent team.
We have come a long way in the last 3 to 4 years.
Still think we will struggle v France and be seriously hammered by England though.

well played Wales, deserved the win

As for England, Jones had a shocker there, one plan and no flexibility. Injuries to key ball carriers hurting us badly (if we cant adjust the plan) and looked very one dimensional on that showing, would like to have seen us change options a bit more. Williams just mopped up everything we threw at him

On the plus side we seem to actually have a proper 7 at long last, Curry was immense, on the downside Lawes injury didnt look good nor did May going off

Indeed, no plan B!

I'm cetain Wales practiced defending against 'the kicking game' and England should have changed tactics.

Interesting and would have ben exhausting game, but not a classic. Deserved result though.
