To be fair Hartley plays better for england than he does for saints. Not sure why he does not like the look of Goode.

Agreed Fundy, Hartley isn’t the best by a way for me, but, I think as a leader, he has been excellent, temperament has been under control and he seems to get the best from the team as captain, would someone else be able too? Yes probably, but at present he does a good job. The ability England have to bring on starters to finish means they go an go the full 80at strength, something the all blacks have done for years, and that’s what we have to aspire too

his best is the same level as some of the guys are at week in week out, but once the aussie hung his hat there he wasnt gonna back track quickly
hes doing an ok job but seems to be being lauded, personally prefer to wait and see how we do when it really matters against the big boys!

Better balanced Scots team named for the French game [IMO]
The new guys were a bit grim last week, I think the new manager made a bit of a Horlicks.

New guys? Everyone who played last week had already played for Scotland.
I don’t think he made a horlicks of it, I think Wales sussed it and we had too many players, particularly the half backs miss firing.
I’d expect a reaction this week

I remember Townsend as a player. Occasionally sublime, usually ok, sometimes utterly woeful. Looks like his coaching career may go the same way. Against Wales, everything that could go wrong did go wrong: Harris and McGuigan were lambs to the slaughter. Price and Russell clearly on mind-altering drugs. Forwards not up to the physical challenge. Defensive lines a joke, we badly missed Dunbar. Wales were great, though, and played with real passion and skill. I suspect they will have their spirit crushed at Twickenham by the ruthlessly efficient English machine but I wish them well.

Robbed there, not the call I would have given if in charge.
Maybe my rugby league background influences the way I see it.

This TMO lark not all it's cracked up to be at times.
England v Wales, one for the purist. Hard going to watch.

Yep, sat down to watch it, thought it might be perhaps game of the tournament for the neutral but channel changed now, dull game.

Thank goodness for that - great battle but England saved by a very tight TMO call

Conditions not great , cold and slippery balls ( oh Matron) 😂, turned it into a game of attrition,
Wales played very well indeed and were unlucky not to get a try, but I can’t see England losing any games this time round, solid, rode their luck and took their chances,
Not a great game to watch, but the result is great for England ðŸ‘

The crescendo of Team ABE chins crashing against chests in disappointment...
Maybe next time people...
And, really pleased for Mike Brown...
Seems to have many detractors but for today, at least, they'll have to keep quiet...
And, for all those that think video refs are the answer...
Well, they ain't..
And, yes, I've had a jar or three too many...
