I'm obviously just being nice and carrying for other people. I'm one of those where it annoys me when it's not me.

by Scottrf Sat 23 Feb - 16:02

Can we just have the bonus point win vs Scotland? It’s gonna be brutal.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:07

I think it'll be in the minds of the England players today that they need bonus points.2 on offer isn't it with 4 tries or within 7. Think Ireland have a rather good chance of a win even if we don't so important to ensure we keep it close if things go pear shaped.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:18

Annoying that they've pulled away from analysis of the Scotland game for more time with guscott (presumably).

by nathan Sat 23 Feb - 16:24

Sneak a win..... 25-6

Guscott you numpty

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 16:25

Inverdale and Guscott thumbsdown

by Guest Sat 23 Feb - 16:25

Wouldn't worry about BP if I were England. With the BPs they've had so far it's basically England's unless Wales win the GS. So, if England lose, it's out of their hands really, and they could still end up winning the title overall if Wales slip up.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:25

Ha. Well said. Though it's the first time I've heard guscott back England albeit his debut....

Is that the score he predicted?

Think it is the only England game not on ITV so I understand why they left Paris, even if I disagree.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:27

They do need to have that in their mind miaow if only to prepare for the WC. I perhaps in the minority though Lancaster did a good job but he didn't prepare the team for bps in the world cup. Need to ensure you know what you need to do.

No, he was saying when he was playing he went to wales and scraped a win with that score.

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 16:36

I'd be happy with a 1 point win ...

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:36

Nice to hear that there's good respect and joy of the game between the coaches. Sometimes hard to remember that you can enjoy the game even when you lose!

by EnglishReign Sat 23 Feb - 16:38

Guscott is a right wally.

by greenandpleasantland Sat 23 Feb - 16:39

Let the games begin...good luck to both sides

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 16:39

Can curry cause a bit of panic as well. Heck of a player but not yet considered as a top 7 for those who have not seen much of him....
See you on the other side.

I am not sure why the coach needs to prepare the team to think about bonus points. They play with bonus points every week.

by Scottrf Sat 23 Feb - 16:43

Enjoy lads. What a stadium what a fixture.

by EnglishReign Sat 23 Feb - 16:53

How do we lose advantage with a kick and they retain it?

by lostinwales Sat 23 Feb - 17:09

Is this the game of BS penalties?

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:10

When is he going to spot AWJ running around the rucks and grabbing defenders not in the ruck?

by lostinwales Sat 23 Feb - 17:14

Try Curry

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb - 17:14

Ow, that was an open door and he went straight through it!

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb - 17:15

Big Welsh error, then the defence goes to sleep like 2014.

Curry goes over. Yahoo

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:15

Poor ruck defence ...

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb - 17:18

Looked like a Welsh forward pass about 5 metres out from their own line...not given.

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:18

He's missing a lot ...

by mikey_dragon Sat 23 Feb - 17:20

Why’s the ref helping England so much? Keep getting away with blatant knock-ons and playing it on the floor.

Repeat that after you check out the fwd pass that Duty mentioned

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:23

And AWJ taking players out beyond the ruck ... as I said he's missing a lot.

by mikey_dragon Sat 23 Feb - 17:23

Oh wow a forward pass....

by mikey_dragon Sat 23 Feb - 17:24

Too many off colour players in our lineup and it’s showing.

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb - 17:24

Brutally physical game this - one for the purists!

Some really strange reffing decisions, against both sides.

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb - 17:24

The ref is doing fine, it is a fast paced game and some calls are going both ways

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:27

Nice by May ...

by **BigGee** Sat 23 Feb - 17:27

Great play by Johnny May

by **RDW** Sat 23 Feb - 17:27

What an effort from May. If only Scotland had the same kick chase attitude!

by mikey_dragon Sat 23 Feb - 17:27

England over-celebrating is pathetic Rolling Eyes

by lostinwales Sat 23 Feb - 17:27

May..

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb - 17:28

Stupendous play from Jonny May.

by mikey_dragon Sat 23 Feb - 17:28

It was like Parkes walked into touch there. He’s been off colour all season, I don’t know why Watkin isn’t starting.

by No 7&1/2 Sat 23 Feb - 17:28

Blood bin ignored

by Sgt_Pooly Sat 23 Feb - 17:29

Cracking test match.

by Scottrf Sat 23 Feb - 17:30

What was that kick from Farrell??!

The ref complaining is a bit ridiculous on here.

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:30

wasted opportunity there ...

by Heaf Sat 23 Feb - 17:30

Should have kept it in hand and kept the pressure on ...

by lostinwales Sat 23 Feb - 17:31

England do have an edge but not much of one

by Duty281 Sat 23 Feb - 17:32

Missed opportunity there, expected England to bludgeon it up for a few phases at the very least.

Still, England in control, winning the physical battle, putting in the 'dominant' tackles, and Wales making errors at key times (especially at the line-out).

Not over yet, but England's bench power still to come.
