Don't deserve a try. How we are only 12 behind is criminal almost.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:19 pm

Get Danny care on right now

by True Raven Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:20 pm

To be fair to ford that was a dreadful pass by youngs, the same service that biggar gets from G Davies....bring on Webb!

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:20 pm

Plus another bad pass from Ben Youngs.

I'm still not convinced on him.

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:20 pm

And Biggar gets deserved score for Wales.

Ok. Now can Wales score again quickly?

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:21 pm

Jack Nowell just confirming what I said. Class player

by mikey_dragon Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:21 pm

Wtf, England offside by a mile!

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:23 pm

Wales lucky there as there was a high tackle on nowell

It's been happening all game.

mikey_dragon wrote:Wtf, England offside by a mile!

Certainly looked like it.

But penalty back so no matter.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:24 pm

England need to get this game by the scruff of the neck now...wales are getting back in it.

by **RiscaGame** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:24 pm

Wasn't bothered by a neck roll before Farrell's last pen. Why now?

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:25 pm

Now the impact subs start to come....will the have the affect they have in the last few games.

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:26 pm

Good call by Gatland changing the front row, they've been struggling all game. Evans is bloody awful.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:28 pm

George FOrd!!!!!!!!! WTF...make a decision either way run or pass not just in to the feckin welsh player!

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:28 pm

Bad mistake by the England 10 in trying to break out there.

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:29 pm

Wales growing into the game.

Good stuff. Another Wales try would be great.

Told you: It ain't over until it's over. But agree, take the game and put it away.

Everyone looks good when things are going well. THIS is character time.

by mikey_dragon Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:29 pm

Did that come off an England player? (Genuine question).

by True Raven Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:30 pm

Didn't that come back off the English tackler?

And mako was lying on the floor there

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:30 pm

Jeez Joubert is tolerant of England at scrum time.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:30 pm

Another laughable non decision at the scrum

Thanks for acknowledging, now I know I'm not going crazy.

There's been a lot of calls for offside in the pub, but I guess that's not a surprise.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:31 pm

Wales are being reffed out of that game

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:31 pm

That's fairly harsh on Wales.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:32 pm

Get George Ford off the pitch. Going to cost us the game.

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:34 pm

Manu Manu....

Just don't jump out of the line!

by mikey_dragon Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:35 pm

Joke penalty, England have done that all game.

by Shifty Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:36 pm

England's number 4 is nailed on for man of the match, an astonishing performance.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:36 pm

Another England penalty for lying over the ball, thats what England has been doing all game!

by **RiscaGame** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:36 pm

How can turftoe roll there?

by wales606 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:38 pm

Wales gone back to sleep

by Duty281 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:38 pm

Farrell's kicking has been excellent. England just about doing enough in this half.

He can't, but then why should that fact penalise England. Annoys me too but it's the only way to ref It

by glamorganalun Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:39 pm

Wales broken play is so poor Wales not in this game.

by bedfordwelsh Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:39 pm

Nobody likes a defeat but its the manner of this defeat (might as well say its a loss now) that makes it worse. We are utterly clueless in attack and we have no options on the bench to change it.

Let's get one thing clear here we are not a side in transition or under a new coach or even in the main hampered by injuries we are an experienced established side but god we are a shambles.

Something needs to be done so address out shocking attacking play and our team selection.

by VinceWLB Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:39 pm

What an impact Tipuric has had... Not. Overated player, always thought he was more suited to play centre.

Needs to sharpen his game. Reconsider his kicking from hand (not referring to the charge down but his cross kicking 'attack' plays).

He is a ball in hand player and understanding how best to exploit that game will determine his future.

Great shame the moment we bring on an attacking IC that we take off our attacking ball in hand 10.

Ultimately Farrells game will not unlock SH defences.

It shouldn't penalise anybody though. Scrum maybe? Can't give a pen if it's harsh like that.

by **RiscaGame** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:42 pm

Swear somebody was peeing in a cup after that last Farrell kick

Gatland in his post match conference will blame the players and once again rob howley will get off scot free and collect his salary for doing nothing

It's only the one true that don't. Never shows up when we are matched or in this case beaten in physicality.

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:43 pm

Itoje superb play this match.

Jones has got his BMW performance.

What impact have any of the players had on today's game. Sam didn't get one turnover when he was on

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:44 pm

Naughty boy Cole but he can't complain.

by Shifty Sat 12 Mar 2016, 5:44 pm

no urgency at all from Wales, they have given up.

In an area were we supposed to have the edge our backrow from the off were second best.
