Why didn't brown go for the corner!!

by TightHEAD Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:05 pm

Boooooooooo

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:06 pm

Close call for wales

by Duty281 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:07 pm

Excellent break by Brown.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:07 pm

Itoje is exceptionally good at lineout disruption

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:08 pm

Two get out of jail cards there for Wales. One from Brown stepping back into the tackler and then Youngs knocking on.

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:11 pm

We are wasting chances here

Same old story Yappy. Has been for years.

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:12 pm

At least we are creating, that hasn't been the same for years

by Duty281 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:13 pm

Nice to see England playing to a clear game-plan, at least.

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:14 pm

Got to love Dave Flatman. Very amusing commentator

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:14 pm

What a Poopie decision, number 5 broke off and then rejoined from offside

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:14 pm

That's a poor bit of play by England.

Actually I'd say that's exactly what we've been doing for about 5 years

We went through a phase prior o about 3 years of not creating anything.

by nathan Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:16 pm

Wales being a bit naughty and running back inside but getting there legs in the way of the ruck so England can't release it quickly

by TightHEAD Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:17 pm

If Danny care had started we would have scored a try by now

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:17 pm

Brown having a stand out start, good heads up running from him helped by poor Welsh kicking.

Get the feeling we need to make these incisions start to count though

by bedfordwelsh Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:18 pm

Brown skinned North in that first attack if that had been Cuthbert he would have been crucified by now

Held up to me

His arms are 80metres long

by TightHEAD Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:20 pm

That's two we should have scored

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:20 pm

Come on England. Get the try done

by TightHEAD Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:21 pm

Let off for Wales again, should have been a penalty try

by **RDW** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:21 pm

All England but only 6 points up - England really needed to convert at least one of those opportunities.

A bit like the last game then.

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:22 pm

Refs are so scared to make any kind of decisions these days - for either side. I honestly wish we didn't have the TMO . You'd win some, lose some, but it just stops this default go to the TMO.

by True Raven Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:24 pm

To be fair the Ref said it was held up first off. England though are all over us but what's the tactic in high balls to biggar and williams all about?

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:25 pm

Oh dear. Death by penalty.

by bedfordwelsh Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:26 pm

Well least Ebbw beat Ponty today that's something for me to have drink over at end of day

by Duty281 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:26 pm

It's usually England who give away a torrent of needless penalties. Wink

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:27 pm

Good kick by Farrell. Straight and true.

by bedfordwelsh Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:28 pm

England should be out of sight by now we are lucky we have got Nil or might have struggled to score that lol Sad

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:28 pm

Welsh lineout being called by England.

Oh absolutely he did, but if he's confident Id love to just see him make the call.

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:28 pm

Massive scrum

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:29 pm

Wales haven't turned up yet

by wales606 Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:29 pm

No setpiece and amateur mistakes to turn over possession.

We are scr*wed

Agree with that

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:31 pm

Cuthbert one of England's best players so far

Players can't catch and G Davies can't pass

'Youngs the dummy'

by Pot Hale Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:31 pm

Cuthbert will be getting a few more of those me thinks.

by carpet baboon Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:32 pm

Is it just me or do Wales look tired

by Geordie Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:33 pm

Well so far its a rather error / penalty strewn game.

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:34 pm

When George Ford can rip the ball off you, you need to train more biceps

Too hypered up. England hammer blowing them.

by kingelderfield Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:35 pm

Don't like this kicking strategy. It disallows control.

We should have the confidence to play the ball in hand!

by yappysnap Sat 12 Mar 2016, 4:35 pm

Btw Browns already beaten 5 defenders and made over 60m's
