    It's a bit of a war of attrition, more likely to be decided by an error. Everything to play for for both sides so should be a ding-dong 2nd half...

    England and Sinkler losing it, no surprise he's replaced but Welsh in the ascendency...

    Welsh pressure finally tells, Biggar has made a big difference...

    England rather poor second half, still only a penalty behind though.

    Good learning, the kicking game won’t work always.

    Well played by Wales, flawless in second half. Dealt with England's kicking, which took the offensive from England. England far too many penalties conceded

    Another Welsh try, the English really haven’t been at the races today, and are looking very tired now. I think they gave the Welsh far too much respect.

    On a positive, may be this is a learning experience for England with the WC coming. Better discipline needed and more options in the game plan than just lobbing the ball to the opposing full back

    No shame losing to the ‘greatest Welsh team ever’ #eddiejones.

    Only saw last 20 minutes but England hardly in Wales half during that time.....biggar made a huge difference and controlled game when he came on....that was some score by Welsh winger at the end...
    Ireland to deprive Wales of a grand slam last weekend<whistle>

    England can still take the championship, if Ireland do us a favour.

    I am confident that she is Welsh this evening. Hopefully temporarily.

    I am an endangered species in my own house.

    I was trying to inject a moment of optimism into a rather dreary performance, but you're probably right! Anyway, they've been given a heads-up so it's their lookout if they choose to ignore it. An ill disciplined side never won the WC because territorially you give yourself a mountain to climb

    England win next two games with bonus point, Scots and Italy, even if the taffs win next two, no bonus point away Scots and Irish, England win on points difference, sorted

    And cue panic to revise the points system, Welsh win Grand Slam but not the Championship.......I’d rather like that.

    Btw...Ireland will beat Wales imho

    I had not read the rules thoroughly enough and made the elementary error of believing Wherever.

    Must do better.
