Well what a cracking afternoon that was! Being on pretty ferocious antibiotics and therefore not able to drink Guinness, for the first time ever, I actually walked out of Twickenham sober. eek Not only did I not miss most of the second half queueing for the toilets, I can still remember the finer points of the game, even now!

We were 19 rows behind the posts in the North stand surrounded by Scots, which made it rather a fun place to be

It was a bit of a relief to see Magnus Lund get on the scorecard to ensure we didn't only get scores from 2003 RWC winners!

Stand out performances from where we were sitting were definitely Ellis and Wilko, but it was also good to see Farrell looking so comfortable in his role, and Mike Tindall seemed completely rejuvenated as well.

The best bit for me though was the speed with which we were recycling the ball and keeping it moving. What a transformation! Let's just hope Ashton can keep this rate of progress up!

I thought Harry Ellis would be man of the match, he had an eye for the gaps so quick even the rest of the England team could keep up for support
Good to see Johnny back in the game though.


Joe Worsely was my man of the match
