England got what they deserved there. Awful tactics in the second half. 

Pretty much, negative and poorly executed kicking game (don't really agree with the plaudits to the full back because the kicks were rubbish, most of which were easy for him to run onto with no pressure on him). Also felt he hooked sinckler early. They were getting at him, but only because he was smashing them all over the place (21 tackles in 59 minutes?).  Really gave up the initiative.

 

Both the half-backs were shite (Daly under par by his standards as well).  So was the ref, but it made little difference.

 

Also, went to the chiefs game today. Woodburn is back and Jones should be giving him a real look. Height, pace, great finisher, good defensive effort, good hands.  Would be a great option to bring off the bench when we're pushed back like that.

Ireland playing the role of Everton there , they must be very proud.

Tosser. Wales are now number 2 in the world. They played great all tournament. Ireland have issues. Sexton was woeful throughout. Still fancy them for the world cup though.

What a way to win the grand slam by strangling, not just beating, Ireland like that. We're in great shape for the World Cup until we meet New Zealand.

The All Blacks will be a little scared of Wales now. They are certainly rebuilding, and they haven’t found the right captain since McCaw stepped down.

 

I’d love to see Wales win it, but to be fair, Ireland aren’t out yet, neither are England. Northern Hem Rugger is alive and kicking.

The last day was a fantastic example of what happens when only one team has anything to play for. Wales are an excellent team but just don’t see they have that little bit extra to become world champions, no idea what happened to Ireland over the past few months but still think they are a better WC bet than Wales if they get their act together. The worry with England is that they may have peaked 18 months ago and are treading water. I expect a SH team to wi the WC.

There was a fair amount of experimentation with the England squad throughout really.  It wasn't the reason they lost to Wales, but overall it'll be a more experienced group at the World Cup.  Still think Woodburn should be given a shot in the pre-WC friendlies, but doubt it'll happen. 

 

Llongyfarchiadau Cymru.  Totally forgot the games were on yesterday.

As always NZ should be strong favourites.  Three years out of four they're miles better than the rest but they get the occasional blip year when they're vulnerable and unluckily for them that has happened a few times in WC year. If they aren't at the top of their game then one of Wales, England, Ireland or Australia should win it as they're all about the same level and better than the rest.
