Best kicker in world rugby for me. This is a game of very fine margins I think.

 

[Parkins left foot]

English indiscipline (Naivety) costing them dear.

This plus the fact the fact the Welsh thought process is at least a yard quicker means England are up against it

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Discipline is the key, and England have lacked that. Give away silly penalties and we will be punished.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I hope George North can come back on.

Wales look so much faster than England at the moment but I think we're playing into their hands. Very static in attack and easy to defend against.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

13-8 then. This is going to stay close all the way I think.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Not sure quite why England are getting pinged at the breakdown there. Seems very harsh.

Halfpenny IS human!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

1/2p missed kick - that is unusual

 

[Parkins left foot]

Halfpenny finally misses a penalty - lucky for England, but we have to stop giving them away in our half

 

[andyc225]

Massive let-off. We need to be more disciplined in our own half, we can't afford to keep giving penalties away.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

This has suddenly turned very scrappy. Need half time.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

nice bonus on the half time whistle there

On his day, one of the best players in world rugby !

 

[andyc225]

Woodward hits the nail on the head. England need to come out for the second half with purpose. There's absolutely no reason why we can't back into this but we need to stop giving away penalties.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

England need to improve quite a lot. Wales look to be that little bit sharper in every department.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wales haven't played that well and are lucky to be ahead. I would hope wales get better in the second half and put this game away. England are deservedly still in the game.

Real "smash 'em" rugby by England there...Great try

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Another fine try there. Excellent patience.

Fantastic play from England.
