Decent recovery in the 2nd half. Long way from the finished article.

Freddie Steward was a saviour for England under the high ball again and a break at the end, take Tommy Reffell out of the Welsh side and they didn't offer a lot really. That England defence will get shredded by a side that knows what they are doing.

I thought Tommy did more in defeat than Earl did in victory.

My MoM.

Did I tell you I don't like Earl?

Same 'offence' against Steward earlier not given. Steward landed on back and received treatment.

was that the one with Dyer? if so Dyer had his arms up to catch the ball and was just beaten to it, Ford basically just pushed him as he was landing

I thought Ford just stopped running. He didn't take him in the air. What's Ford supposed to do? Vaporise?

Pack looks pretty solid and probably would’ve got some more scrum penalties on another day. Actually like Roots at 6, brings some much needed physicality.

Backs are all over the place. Dingwall / Slade together for another week but something feels off. Lawrence comes straight back in for me.

Still not convinced Dingwall is what England need at 12. Other than the try I only noticed him missing tackles.

I thought Steward had his best game for a while, needs longer studs though.

Pack fronted up well, but probably need a brute like Martin in there.

Not always on excuse. He looks up at him, doesn't challenge in the air, and leaves his shoulder in. Very lucky, imho.

don't think they mesh as a pairing in the centres, sadly we haven't had a world class centre since Manu was in his pomp, a fit Lawrence comes closest for me but the 13 shirt is up for grabs

on the pack I wish Steve had decided to give Barbeary or Mercer the 6N to try and nail down the 8 shirt, Underhill has barely played this season and looks well off the pace, one of those at 8 with Earl to 7 would be a really nice back row

If you pick Martin, in which position and who do you leave out?

Martin plays tighthead lock for me with Chessum either at 6 or in the 19 shirt
