England have lost this game due to 2 reasons, the inability to turn pressure into points and Freddy Steward

We need some dynamism off the bench, do we have any, because Coles, Coles and Rudd ain't it, and Curry is not Test match fit.

Rodd got mulched.

England have offered nothing since the hour mark.

England just falling apart, as mentioned earlier, the subs are just not international quality

4th Itoje penalty?

It's a shame his more visible performances also seem to come with a fairly high penalty count.

Same as last week really. Finally quarter was a total nothingburger.

Commentator: England management would have liked to have seen more from Sleightholme.

Sleightholme is such an obvious threat based on form.

Not the ball carrier and he was in front of the ball carrier. Penalty against England

The difference was the benches, frankly. Pretty much even Stevens until the subs started coming on.

Ah well. If we hadn’t spent the whole second half kicking the ball away we wouldn’t have had that sewn up.

Another great game, congrats ABs. Proud of our efforts at the end of a long season
