Farrell at 12 on Saturday and Yarde dropped for Nowell. Brown is very off the boil but appreciate his experience keeps him in and has plenty in the bank.

Wish they had mid-week games like a Lions tour.

Not often you'll hear it but England were far smarter last weekend, Aus pen count was ridiculous AKA England-esque.

Aus have re-jigged the front row and Pocock is out with a broken eye socket.

England could sneak it and take series........

In other news the Eng U20's beat Aus to make the semis.

Why anyone thought a second string Welsh team full of players from mediocre Pro12 teams, and one from the English 2nd tier, would beat the the Chiefs is beyond me.

Well the Chiefs were missing all their ABs as well as a bunch of other players, so the whole incident was just an embarrassment. No idea what went on.

by all accounts it was a weak 2nds or strong 3rds... either way it was a piss poor showing from the Taffs.

Good rugby from both sides in that match.

Shame Wales can't maintain their standard for the full 80 minutes.
