England lost that half 18-3. They didn't get near the Welsh touchline. Gatland owned Jones on the tactical front. Credit to Wales there, gutsy win.

I dont know much about rugby but to me the game changed when Biggar came on.

I think the direction of travel even before that point was all Wales. England simply awful.

I think so. I don't understand why it makes any sense to keep kicking away possession.

It's because it worked against Ireland and France. England didn't take into account that Wales had one of the best full backs in the world, someone who relishes high balls slung at it him. It was a strange, strange tactic.

well it all worked rather well in the first half, and started ok second. kicking and pace of game kept pressure on Wales. i missed most the second half, i suppose they run out of steam?

Was it because we were kicking the ball too much rather than running it?
Not just the kicking but our entire game plan is floored as we have no plan b and we did not turn up for the second half. Think us at Fulham this season.

Did it though? Neither of the English scores came from a long kick. The try came from England putting pressure on a Welsh maul. Williams et al gathered every kick with ease

So if you know that, why doesn't Eddie Jones?
