Certainly a lot more positives to be taken out of the game.

Overall got to be a very pleasing start for Jones - Triple Crown in the bag

England for the Grand Slam then...!😙😙😙

Well, it's on!!!

Lucky England. What was that second half performance about?

Wales did well to show a bit of spirit but I think we've had an issue with putting teams away for a couple of years.

what will haunt us is we are light years behind the rugby the southern hemisphere sides are playing

I couldn't agree more but having a game by the scruff of the neck at halftime and then letting the opposition in will always scupper any chances of success against those nations even if we are able to give them a game

Reality is Wales are a good side who woefully under performed in the first half. A fight back was inevitable and to see them close the gap was no surprise, albeit that it happened over a short period. As for failure to close out games in world cups, I can think of one example in all of the world cups that I have seen. This is a developing side that has shown improvements every week as they get the chance to take on board the new coaching. If we win next week we take a grandslam which few do in the first year. I have high hopes for this side with more back to be changes to come as players gain in experience.

Definitely. 16-0 at half time and should have been able to close it out without letting Wales anywhere near nicking it

Or you could say that the first welsh try was lucky and Cole's sending off should have been matched with a yellow card at least for contact around the eye area. Bad luck let Wales back in the game and they had the team to capitalise on it. No luck in England win, dominated for all but 10 minutes

Yeah that was good - and Moores points was good about him being an ex player so maybe sees the incident a bit different.

 

[GB72]

Good French try there. Going to be close.

 

[upsidedown]

Well done Hoggy

 

[GB72]

Great vision, knew exactly where Visser was. Come on Scotland
