No doubt England will have cheated at each and every breakdown/scrum/line out before bribing the ref to ensure victory/keep it respectable
The bribe will have taken place already. At least some London caterer has managed to give Halfpenny the shits.

Doubtless, someone at the game will be able to confirm that Patchell suffered incessant ginger-abuse from pissed-up barbour-wearing public school pederasts throughout the game.

Lambs to the slaughter that backline is, they really needed 1/2p's experience cause there's literally zero experience bar maybe Davies in every position. England will go after them outwide and will probably want them to come forward, so they can cut holes between the williams adams axis.

Reading the Welsh posts on this thread, you'd think they lost to Scotland last week rather than having dished out a complete thrashing.

I don't think anyone is buying their false pessimism.

Be prepared for insufferable gloating if they win. They are the worst winners on the bored.

Scotland aided that thrashing with a splendid display of Scotlanding. If England want to do the same then I say go ahead but I doubt they will...sadly.

Scotland were gash utter gash.
I can't see bit part players like Patchell getting away with no pressure this week.
He really has been flakey as feck when under pressure. Last week was a perfect storm Wales played very well and Scotland absolutely bollocks. I predicted we would finish third and still believe we are ein a transitional period England and Ireland are way ahead of us.
Don't really understand the dumping of Owen Williams (considering what i have seen of Anscombe's goal kicking). decision to send back Liam Williams and Amos in favour of north not looking so clever. Has Stef Evans or Adams played much at full back.

The Welsh are pretty good at those. It is the Scots who rarely congratulate England. But, in fairness, there are a lot fewer Scots on here.

True.

They're bloody awful losers as well.

All these posts from them, doing down their own chances are;

a) to piss on our parade, should we win.
b) to really rub it in, should they win.

The RFU is the wealthiest rugby union in the world, and England has the largest depth of players.

They have no excuse on that front.

Billy and Youngs are pretty big losses but England have more than enough cover Simmons and Care are effective enough for England. Farrell would be a huge loss if he were to be injured, I think he's playing some really good rugby at the moment and no doubt will be involved with a lot of England's attack. I know I've banged this drum before but any full back better than Brown in England?

hard luck for Halfpenny, shame to loose someone of his experience from the match.

How is Patchell's goal kicking in comparison?
