Wales could be beaten by 35 +
This 6N has been written off and it's basically a trial match
Indeed, focusing on 2027 now. Oh God, I’ll be nearly 80 if I’m spared.

Laughing at Faletau winning a clean turnover but looking at the ref for a penalty.

Fair play, you usually get the penalty.

Which is madness. He had clean ball and actually stopped to look at the ref, allowing the English to grab it. It's like they have lost all sense that they are competing for the ball and not a penalty.

England actually, apart from some rusty moments, looking quite good. But you have to take into account the opposition.

I hope to see the neutrals supporting the massive underdogs this match.
Moral victory for Wales will be a 20 point loss.
Nope I despise both sides equaly
No worries, I for one will be supporting you whenever you play England.

The Welsh scrum is really shoddy, the heights are all different and there is space between the players, they are not a tight unit.

Last match was much better. But since i was within 7 points on that one and did not predict a try fest here I have allowed myself something to be interested in it.

Everything Wales do is laboured, or the timing is slightly off, or the wrong option, it’s really poor. Just seem to have no real plan

I think Reffell would be more useful considering the type of match being played but not sure if he is fully fit.

I thought Gatland had made changes. All the grandads are still out there
Game summarised in 2 FBs:
- 1/2p was finished as a club player when he was at Toulon.
- Steward is good at one thing: catching a ball. So Wales spend an entire half kicking the ball to him.

Backrow sooooooo slow to every breakdown and Wales then compound it by one out runners who would struggle to get support at the best of times.
