Hope we get to see Ford get a chance to run the show now for a few games.

They won’t. He will travel and we will just be a man light until the ban is over. I believe that’s how the rules work

He’s a different level to Farrell imo ,and seems to like it more when he’s not there

Farrell would walk into any international team as number 1 fly half!! That comment just rings in my head, if he is the captain and heart beat of England then we are truly going down the slippery slope that all of his caps have put us already!! A shabby mess of a team!! Sad for SB but I think we all knew he has limited experience!!

I don't think winning this should over rule the performance but how does an England win reflect on Wales.....

Well Wales haven't been good mostly just England being awful in both games.
