I only saw the first 30 min. I'm counting myself lucky
Yes. England weren't really very good, but they totally dominated the game. We had no creativity and made far too many errors.

Big concern for me is the Wales scrum and fly half, both looked completely confused a few times. Rees-Zamitt, what a player.

Just finished watching the England v Wales game,
Two poor sides, playing a poor game of rugby. The first half was absolutely dreadful.
It's no wonder that we completely knackered both of them.
That said, France will probably annihilate us tomorrow.

Yeah, I know, you're right, still a forward pass really though.

Saw both matches today
Good to see Italy greatly improved over the rather 2nd rate team they fielded a few years ago
They may have lost but they played well and forced Ireland to play properly to keep them out
England won - which is good - but that means Wales lost - which is bad but slightly less bad than England loosing
I am always conflicted with the England Wales match

A very disappointing match.
England had a lot of good possession but the backs, as usual, flatter to deceive, other than Steward's catching and initial running, and a well worked try for Watson.
Wales' forwards did better than I thought they would, other than a couple of poor throw-ins after Owens had gone, and generally being slow into mauls, but I just cannot understand why they kick the ball away, apparently aimlessly, and are so slow to get the ball away from mauls. The last England try was a result of another aimless kick from Wales that gave them possession in a good attacking position.
England are going to have to improve a lot to beat Ireland and France, whilst Wales are going to have to improve to beat Italy.

England need to look closely at how quickly Ireland get the ball away from every breakdown......

Mad first quarter for us against France. We look all over the place.

Great game after everything settled down. France had us physically in the end.
Two best sides in the tournament.
