Well. This will be a test of Eddie's 6-2 bench policy.

Malins off with an injured shoulder, good thing we have the flexibility on the bench.

Genge being asked to play like Mako at the moment, doing a lot of distributing.

He's won a bet to play on the wing. Looks like he shoul d be in the front row.

These can end up being reffed very variably.

Edit - as we've just seen.

I'd have thought grabbing the player as they went down made it at least a pen.

It's only a red if he's not in a realistic position to compete. Seeing as he won the ball you can't argue that.

Mike Teo has been electric in MLR this year, likely league MVP - played hooker for US U20s, should be shot for cowardice deserting the front lines.

Danielle Waterman, one of England's most decorated internationals. She wasn't being any more hysterical than her co-commentators.

It'll be some battle between those two in the years to come. Freeman looks to be the slightly more attacking player.

Smith's putting him through the gap was class. Joe's looking much, much better than he has for Bath.

Freak accident knocks Lawrence out from the looks of it.

Did Eddiot pick a backrow/wing like Earl on the bench?

Always daft, but especially when you lack a speedy back row on the bench like Earl or Simmonds who can do a job in the backs if really required.

Randall looks like a child compared to the pack. He's having a good game, though.

Randall/Smith showing how it should be done, ballspeed for England beyond anything we have seen for many many years. Eddie will be fuming, not enough kick and chase.

No, not in the squad, so unless he’s injured, like George Martin, he’s gone from being good enough to be on the bench against Ireland 12 weeks ago to not getting in to a 2nd team squad.

I've only been half watching, but I didn't hear Ludlow's name mentioned much in the first half.

Pretty good way to start your test career! Try Blamire with his second touch.
