    Dixon doing my head in, Muarry has nothing on him. Farrell is looking good.

    England playing a brand of rugby I haven't seen them play in years

    Tualagi has been a serious addition and Farrell seems the real deal at 10

    Brilliant a proper enjoyable rugby match at last, England's best performance so far by a mile, will be an intriguing second half

    The one on Farrell?

    I thought it looked fine in realtime so I suppose the ref thought the same.

    There wasn't nothing wrong with that tackle.

    England have upped their game and Wales have lowered their game from the previous couple of weeks. Good match so far though

    Happy that England are finally making a fist of playing to their strengths for a few reasons

    1. It's good for NH rugby and the championship

    2. I like Lancaster, from hearing him being interviewed he seems like a guy who wanted to cut out the negative aspects of the English game

    3. If they go on to beat Wales the Championship is still very much alive for us, especially given our points difference

    I must say for the first time in a long time England have finally gotten their selection correct. Tuilagi is the real deal and Farrell is a breath of fresh air at ten. Dickson (while very slow at times in passing from the ruck) is twice as good as Youngs. As much as I'm not an English fan it can only be good for rugby if they were to emerge as a force again

    I don't think thats right. They've just come against a side that doesn't let Roberts and their other big runners over the gainline. Stifles there whole gameplan.

    The England changes have them looking a completely different side. Much like Ireland with Murray V Reddan Dickson is a vast improvement on Youngs. Ref should stop him messing around in his own 22 though.

    I'm no fan of Steve Walsh or SH referees in general but its refreshing to see a ref penalise players going off their feet. Virtually goes unpunished in the NH.
