No foul play but surely that’s a late hit - ball was well gone when Farrell flattened him

I thought he was lucky to get away with that. If Varney had dipped a little more then that was a card and possibly a red one.

I hope Willis isn't as badly injured as it looks (and sounds). He'd made a really good impact off the bench as well.

Watson and LCD played well, England performed better than I expected. A nasty injury to Willis though.

The rules have to change, it’s too easy to jackal and the only option for players clearing out is to do so dangerously, how many more players like Willis have to suffer frankly horrific injuries before WR finally decide to act?

Anyone else think we might see Ben back with us before the end of the 6 Nations? Thought Robson has looked sharper this year and Randall looks a rare talent

Bear in mind the effect of fresh scrum half legs vs knackered defenses...
No, not that one!

Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...

I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

If EJ doesn’t pick Simmonds, who else is out there that is also in form for their club? Our own Martin, but he’s more a lock?

Ellis today seemed below par, over exuberant, his dispute with his opposite prop could possibly get him into trouble, the camera caught him lying on top of his prop, face to face, forehead to forehead, what went on, could he get Cited?

We could soon be calling for JVP, but is he English, Dutch or South Africa with a name like that? Yes I know he played U18s but...

Highlight of the game Daly showing Ioane the outside & then letting him straight through.

Shouldn't May's try of been disallowed?, always thought you couldn't jump out of a tackle..
To win is not as important as playing with style!
