6-3

Surely Hensons WC dream over

It's difficult to be pleased with our defence when England have be so poor in attack and we seem incapable of winning the ball. Any other team would have put 20 points on us by now.

Still has the Argentina game if picked.

Hook at fly half, Brew on the right wing, North to full back.
Looks an interesting line up.

Jamie roberts carded streight from the kick off.
Muppet

6-9 England.

Better start to the half

Priestland OFF Shane Williams to full back.

Yes for England.

Burns putting Wales under pressure again, he needs to come off, he hasnt done well today. change needs to happen quick or England will be out of sight soon.

That was incredibly indisciplined by England. Could so easily have been yellow.

I was going to say "how many warnings did Wales get?" But fair play Rolland

Jesus Wales are so frustrating, the line out is pathetic, andwhen we get the drive on were dispossed.
To be fair we deserve to lose this, our play is terrible.

It's not that good

"I'm interpretating"


George W is reffing!

England are absolutely toothless....

When England spin it wide they look deadly, where their going wrong is to constantly use forwards and Bannana to streighten it at an angle and bash into Wales.
These players need to start being decoys and England need to miss pass and stretch Wales.

It's actually kind of grim. Sooner or later you fell the nut is going to crack, but you'll be up against much stronger packs in your group! The Argies and the Scots are no pushovers up front.

Wales set piece is a shambles. Their tackling is superb but if they can't get the ball the flood gates will open sooner or later.

Totally silly play by Wales we get the penalty and North passes it to Brew with 3 men on him, we could of kicked it further and had the throw in (for whats it's worth).

They need to take a lesson from Ireland game plan and block more. That will open up the space

It's very brave yes but England are only bashing into Wales in a straight line. Do you think New Zealand would be so uncreative, they'd be 40 points ahead by now.

Wales are starting to put phases together and england are looking tired a bit.

Text from Johnson to Gatland: Ok. This is getting ridiculous. We'll let you score, you let us score, and maybe the rest of the world may take us seriously in the WC.

I think Wales have been quite lucky with some decisions in this game. Perhaps Rolland IS treating it as a warm-up. However England, if you think of this game as a scrap so far, you're getting battered.

Finally

James Hook scored!

AND I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get in there!!!

Get in James

Well maybe Johno will see that a backline containing - Tindall, Hape and Cueto will not result in tries.....

Too much information

English fans must be sick.60 minutes of total dominance and 6 points.
Wales a minute and a half of decent play and we score a try.
The millenium stadium will come alive now and Wales will have their tails up.

This will be a good test of england character, they can still win though.

I'm SO pleased to see that try because England deserve to be behind after such insipid attacking play.

That's very funny, actually. All Englands huff and puff territory, possession and they managed to contrive to fall behind. Bizarre!

Nice stuff by Wales. Wales look far more dangerous with the ball they just need to retain posession and sort the lineout and scrum out.

Sorry I was only joking

I knew it. Wales are gonna win, and I have ZERO faith in England (and Wales) for the WC.

ANY other team would have already been up by at least 20 with the kind of possession and territory England have held.

Worse than that- Tindall, Hape, Cueto and Banahan

Most one-dimensional three-quarter line I've seen in a while.

Watching this match has been like watching two impotent men in a wanking contest. Wales finally manage a drip though.

Yeah forgot the big man aswell....

At the moment as an England fan im very concerned at the creativity..

If i was welsh id be concerned at how dominated their pack have been.

Neither side getting much Plus 's from this game.

Have to say i think Banahan will be in line for a lot of stick after the game. I cant believe Williams took him down in the first half. Terrific stuff

I think Tindall and Bananaman are ok actually. Hape is the weak link for me in attack and defence. A brilliant RL player but very a average union centre. Flood doesn't do anything other than throw inside passes either, it's all far too predictable.

Dont write England off yet mate, there is still a long way to go, and if england do lose, they are still a far better team.

England would kill for Mike Catt and johnny wilkinson right about now.
If Catt was playing he would of won this game for England if he came off the bench.

And Wales could really use Ryan Jones and Adam Jones. Faletau is dispossed far too often for me today, and losing it in contact.

Hey how did Tango boy do? I missed the 1st half.

He went off injured after 20 minutes or so, he did well when he was on, but not enough to convince Gatland I think.

No, neither of them have run in anything other than a straight line all day. You can't expect to just bosh through international defences, it's simply too easy too predict and counter. Banahan blew a certain try in the first half by just trying to bash over his opposite number with zero finesse.

England are playing poorly though, not realy taking their chances.
I like Flood at 10 but when he is put under pressure he struggels

You have to give credit to the way Wales have contested the ruck.

Of course, they've given away enough penalties themselves for England to have sunk them had they been more inclined to kick at goal.

Thanks Alyn. Notch I think I spoke too soon on bananaman. Warburton is some player, amazing at getting those turnovers.

Of course one would have thought that "bashing" would have been the right choice for a giant like Banahan against little Shane.

Another penalty for Wales, and it's as good as over.

That's Wales ahead on aggregate as well.

There is still only 7 points in this. I would'nt write England off just yet
