The only positive I’m taking from this is that we’ll get written off and we’re better under the radar.

I’m clutching, obviously

Not a chance I'm writing you off. You probably aren't as clear favourites as you were a couple of hours ago, but that's as far as I'm going.

Clear favourites. Neither side was clear favourites.

I think you’re 60/40 favs or 65/35 now though but still got a decent chance.

Well a win by a 35 point margin, scored 40 points, six tries, kept the opposition pointless in the second half...... and yet it's been fairly unremarkable stuff in the second half :LOL: Game's got very loose and errors crept in.

Two from two though is ultimately what matters and it was a very easy win, a very encouraging start to the tournament (and world cup year).

Gatland's game plan will be a lot better than France's today, and Wales are a better team, and they're at home, and they're playing the hated English.

It's going to be a tough old game whoever comes out on top.

I'll wait to see what the situation is with Mako before making a prediction I think.

What’s going on with Mako?

England’s management of games has been great the last two games. France were diabolical today but England are making teams look really poor.

Wales were average yesterday against a spirited Italy. If England beat Wales (which i think they will sadly as i’ll be there) they’ll be slamming and a decent shout for the World Cup I reckon.

Match in Cardiff is massive...

A repeat of the 30-3 this certainly won’t be that’s for sure. Big burly ball carriers all through this England side. Makes a huge difference.

Should be a cracker

Do you have bad luck watching us live then? If so I would kindly ask you not to go mate.

To be honest I'm just hoping no-one on either side gets more than a couple of bruises.
