Couple of players not at their best. On today's form would we trouble the ABs or the Boks?

Nope! Not one bit but I think we are coasting so far and still winning easily

Absolutely, first game against another tier 1 nation, Boks and All Blacks have hardly been faultless

The defence-splitting pass was forward, surely.

I hope Eddie's not thinking of Farrell, Slade,Manu as a starter?! Theres got to be a reason he's took Ford off instead of Farrell

Hopefully to rest Fordy. I think France will present a much greater challenge than Argentina have.

England have become complacent since Fords try, have done enough to win comfortably go again for France

Underhill mom Fordy can’t have been far away

Heinz and Ford definitely the two best halfbacks on display today

So what have we learned?
Ford is in rude form.
Youngs and Vuipolas form are worrying
The kamikaze kids partnership is growing
Farrell should have had a HIA
Theres real impact on the bench
Still many gears left in the tank

It was but it didn’t really matter in the scheme of things did it?
