I hope you have strong drink available. I think Wales will have a chance if they don’t let England have any ball at all, ever.I’m watching the match - peeping out from behind the settee …..

Wales have two in the bin after zero discipline for the first seventeen minutes.
And the second try is scored. 15-0

2 players in the bin for technical offences, yet a head butt is merely a penalty…..
England were always going to thrash us, but we are on the wrong end of Tier 2 reffing ….
I thought the bins were for the sheer cumulative number of penalties Wales were giving away. Second one did seem a bit petulant though. Thought Genge gave a push rather than a butt.
Hard to tell if England are any good in these circumstances. Back to 15 a side now, and Wales in a decent position.
My controversial non-rugby fan rugby opinion is that sin bins are normally too harsh a punishment for the crime
… or the easy way out in not having to give a red card?

Feel like there’s a better way as it’s not in the crowd’s interest to have it uneven especially when it’s the weaker side. Maybe move the penalty closer to the post for some infringements or when it’s a second penalty against the same player. I don’t know and now I’ve typed that realise I don’t care.
My son is there having to sit through this Men v Boys fiasco….. sitting with his (English) father in law and his (English) friends….

I know that Welsh rugby is in total disarray and there should be a touch of sympathy for them..... but sorry can't, I remember the 1970's and the way England were embarrassed year on year by Wales....

It's nice to win but you want a competitive game, this could be really embarrassing when England bring on the replacements, 60-70 not out of the question...
There’s a prediction thread on the Watford Board and I optimistically said England by 26pts - should have said 76pts
That'll be what Henry Pollock will be saying when they send on the bomb squad later...
