Not a rugby expert. Was that illegal when the English player burrowed through the ruck and slapped the ball out before England went and scored the try?

Typically unpretty and physical encounter between these sides.

I wouldn't be surprised to see England win this by 15-20 points from here.

Wales have to score first in the second half #captainobvious

Wales are a beaten team. They won't do nothing in the 2nd half and England will sail to victory.

You must have missed the World Cup

Also, England 62 wins, Wales 56 wins.

What even is offside anymore?

Are they offside or is that by not committing to the ruck they move the offside line up quite a bit? BBC seem to go close up for every ruck so I'm having difficulty seeing.

They're rushing up before the ball is out constantly. It's why Wales are finding it impossible to move forward, they're being tackled before they can even tuck the ball.

That would require having confidence that he'll actually be penalised for it.

A ruck was clearly formed and he rushed in from the side to compete for the ball, an exasperated gesture from the scrumhalf would've brought a penalty from the ref. It's a noticeable part of Englands defence, throw players into illegal positions in the knowledge that the opposition will clear them out negating the chances of them being penalised, it slows the opposition attack down and saps their energy.

Jamie George got bent in half the wrong way in that scrum. Absolutely smashed.

I always think that he looks in bad shape compared to a lot of other international hookers and has matchsticks for legs, but apparently he is a really strong bloke.

Where Lawes came in competing illegally there I don't know why the Wales players went to the effort of clearing him out, it's clear he's illegal and if you leave him alone he'll concede a penalty.

Yeah seemed like ruck finished, player on the ground should have been penalised for playing the ball no?

He went straight on top of him.

Peypers response to Williams was that he got the penalty anyway?!? Strange logic.
