There were 2 subs that really gave Wales the upper hand. Biggar made a huge difference (no idea why he didn't start), but also Courtney Lawes coming off. He had really led the team in terms of physicality and will be a big loss.
Lawes was impressive as usual. All the talk about Curry is justified. What a performance from him. Sinkler was even good until those 2 silly pens took the gloss off. George was solid enough as well. Our front row didn’t perform as I thought it would tbh. I think Evans has a very good game. He got under Sinklers skin a lot and got harshly penalised against in one scrum when he did well in the tight all game. Owens had another dodgy game tbh but grafted. Francis did alright.
Biggar was great when he came on and totally changed it, you’re right. I don’t want to dig Anscombe out as he did ok but I’m stil not convinced tbh.
England are still odds on to win the championship and you’d have to say that’s fair. Really fucked up not getting that bonus point against Italy. I do fancy us to beat Scotland (assuming they haven’t got everyone back ) but it’ll be a difficult match up at Murrayfield so a BP will be hard to get.
