Well done Wales, made the most of Englands complete ineptitude in the second half. Passing was woeful in the second half and England were the architects of their own down fall. What the **** Balshaw was thinking about taking 5 mins with his clearance kick i will never know.
Still hats off boys you have the best coaching team in the northern hemisphere.

No way, Wales deserved to win but not letting their heads go down, believing in themselves and turning the game around. That England played crap in the second half is also a factor.

Wales hung on in the first half. Showed precious little in attack apart from hensons break. The game was turned by englands **** poor decision making and martin williams being possibly the best openside in the northern hemisphere, oh and philips great knock down from balshaws 5 min delay on his kick. Wales showed nothing imaginative in attack and neither did england. It was a stodgy game with little flair, but one that Wales will take a great deal from and rightly so.

Can't say I agree with your second half assessment Rob, I really enjoyed it and thought it was a thrilling climax to the game.

each to there own. the basic skills were lacking from both teams apart from the volcanos sublime off load. For the neutral it may have been a good game to watch, for an english supporter, it was depressing viewing as a team in comfortable ascendancy threw the lot away. For the welsh it was a great advert for never giving up and working hard and Shawn Edwards and Gatlands influence is already noticeable (never feckin give up till the whistle blows), and england missed a trick by only offering him the saxons job.

Eoin reddin was a breath of fresh air, first time since Issac Boss played that an irish scrum half was breaking from the scrum or ruck. Bod getting boshed just before half time was a high light. A downside has been the Missus prancing around in her ireland shirt all afternoon taking the feckin p*ss. I hate days like these. Still Allez france, best dust my tickets off and head down the Haymarket pub tomorrow in my onions and beret.
Allez Ecosse !

The writing was on the wall. Balshaw was guaranteed to **** it up, so why play him in the very first game?! The first game is always a statement of intent and throwing of the gauntlet, therefore it should not have had a weak link. Once again it pains me to say England have flattered to deceive.
Sorry couldn't resist. Credit where it's due though, the Welsh hung in there.
