The last two games have been the most frustrating for an England fan for a long time - NZ and SA were both there for the taking.

I've been frustrated for a lot longer than that (my biggest fear is 2003 turning into England Rugby's 1966)!

The last 6N was there for the taking, the summer tour to NZ, there were defininitely two games there for the taking. This series has shown some (few) good signs, but seemingly an overall backward movement which doesn't look good.

bit of an aside, but a great 40min video about Sam Burgess. Not just the usual big hits stuff, but a real insight into his character.

Austin Healey doesn't share the same view

I can think of about 3000 reasons why AH's view isn't perfect.

However playing an out of form OF at 12 is dumb. Have we really run out of proper 12s?

Bit entertaining at the minute!

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Is Butler pissed? He's mistaken Jake Ball for Luke Charteris twice and Dan Biggar for Leigh Halfpenny!

[hornetrider]

AB's looking ominous.

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Oh dear, Barrett's got the Heeby Jeebies!

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Spoke too soon!

Looks like the Welsh boys slathered their hands in Castrol GTX before taking the field.

[hornetrider]

Got to keep them out here.

Cool done. One for the purists this!

This is a cracker of a second half.

What a game all over.

This could be historic.


The stadium is rocking carrying the Welsh players and they are playing with confidence. A superb game.





Come on Wales

[Welshbeef]

How quick are the Welsh out of the blocks!! Superb

How long are they allowed to get the ball out there? Ffs.

[hornetrider]

Biggar, Roberts and 1/2p have been outstanding today. As has Webb while he was on.

Sick bounce
