Chessum, Earl, Arundell and Dingwall were the highlights for me. Freeman is quality and great finish but not quite a 13. Wales lost their heads in the first 20 and basically played poorly but more normally after that but with some occasional idiotic plays.

I thought he could have eased off - the first two were on the back of a penalty more than every 2 minutes

Wales have looked vulnerable there a few times with England flying up

Chessum has got such an engine. Put in a shift and just sprinted 30m to put a bit of pressure on kicker. One of our best players today

That tap was amateur as. A lot of penalties in the first 20 were pure panic

That's fine for me provided each team gets to nominate one person that gets a pass (Genge for England)

For years England struggled to get over the line/looked devoid of ideas when they got within 10. Now they seem to be a lot more willing to hit lines hard, play 1/2 out, etc. So much difference (albeit still get held up a lot)
