It was a delightfully rapid and exciting match, not quite out of the top drawer in terms of execution but these are two emerging teams

A thrilling rugby match that left spectators on the edge of their seats. This English team hit the ground running with an explosive start, sprinting across the pitch and delivering bone-crushing tackles left and right.

Their ferocity was unmatched as they bulldozed their way through the Welsh defense, leaving them scrambling to keep up. The English forwards charged forward, relentlessly pushing their way towards the try line, while the backs darted around like lightning bolts, zigzagging through the Welsh with ease.

England's scrum was a force to be reckoned with, overpowering Wales at every turn and sending them reeling backwards. The Welsh simply couldn't keep up with the sheer speed and agility of the English, who were like a pack of hungry muscular English wolves, tearing apart the weak Welsh with every tackle.

As the match wore on, England's dominance only grew stronger. The Welsh were completely overwhelmed and unable to mount any kind of effective counterattack. England's players moved like a well-oiled machine, working together in perfect harmony and executing their plays with precision and finesse.

In the end, England emerged victorious, the clear winners of this epic battle. The crowd erupted into a deafening roar as the final whistle blew, and the English players celebrated with wild abandon, jumping and shouting with joy.

It was a truly unforgettable match, a masterpiece of rugby prowess, of English rugby prowess, and England emerged as the undisputed champions.

The match that almost never happened turned out to be a treat. England always held the edge of superiority, they looked far more like a proper rugby team than they ever did in the latter years of the dismal Eddie Jones reign, and the partnership of Owen Farrell and the competitive Ollie Lawrence in midfield gave them a splendid shape.

It was just as well because Farrell was to miss 11 points in all with his kicks at goal and, with players such as Louis Rees-Zammit around and with their two brand new and youthful centres showing striking promise, Wales could always find a way to break through in those times late on when the margin was only five points.

Fucking hell, guess who

I can confirm Cocaine Bear was more entertaining than the Wales v England game.

Must agree, he’s been average in the URC too. How he gets to referee a 6N test is simply beyond my scope of compression.

His ex partner has accused him of knowingly giving him HIV. Thomas settled out of court before ot got too far.
