Two pretty ropey box kicks in a row from Youngs. If he's not getting those right, what exactly is he there for?

Itoje is a very good player but the endless fawning over him does seem to cover some serious issues.

The crowd sounds off, I know that's weird, have they used partly a footie crowd?

Penalty advantage so you kick for territory. Makes sense.

God we’re dumb sometimes. It’s normally the Scots that are quicker thinking now it’s Wales as well

I don't think he does. His team could have been set for a penalty.

Nah, not when the ref has told you to talk to your team. You've got to give them a chance to do so.

I agree, if you choose to bring on a massive entourage of water boys, coaches, subs, then deal with it

Farrell needs to be careful with how he talks to referees. I know they will deny it, but I'm certain that different captains get reputations in referee's circles - and then the odd good point he makes will be dismissed without really being listened to as "just him crying again". It's not just what he's saying, but how he's going about saying it

How can England hope to win matches with their penalty count. It’s not just a one off, it’s becoming policy.

And again. I wholeheartedly agree, he adds a lot to the team, but I'm increasingly of a mind that it doesn't outweigh the territory and possession his penalties cost us.

This ref had got a few quid on Wales at 10/1.

Utterly ridiculous.

That's absolutely jokeshop.

Game over now, England simply do not overhaul leads, let alone ones in double figures.

As soon as he lost control off his hands forwards it's a knock on unless he somehow regathers?

Once you lose control of ball forward, you have to regain control of it don’t you?

Yep, that's how I understand it. Certainly how the law seems to be applied usually.

Going to be one of those days
