Never thought I would see the day an English man would coach Wales how to be creative? But it shows how far we have fallen, no offence to England, as a Welsh head coach I would love to have Steve Borthwick, Jason Leonard or the like to help our line out or scrum but to show our fly half how to play?

Utterly true.

Eddie was very engaging post match and said he blamed himself. He also thought the back row lacked weight on the gainline- Haskell changed that for 20 mins. He was in great humour yet again.
Very good side; Gourdon and Picamoles were brilliant today- Gourdon reminds me of the greatest of them all, Richard Hill.
Scott Spedding is also a very high quality player.
I reckon you will see The Brand back and also I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Brown got chopped for Daly. Jones wants him at 15.

Definitely need some new blood in at full-back.
Also thought he back three - despite moments of inspiration - was unbalanced. Our kick chase was a bit off, and that let some half decent tactical kicking down.
All that said, France played well - picamoles outstanding. Agree that Brown will prob go - Nowells back and Daly across to 15.
Wood is and always has been primarily an openside. Certainly for Worcester and Saints.

daly should have scored that try - his body position was poor for a finisher
i think the other world rugby teams would love to see us getting rid of a top performer in Brown for a bit of a rough diamond wonder kid with limited experience just for a big boot.
i don't think he's a better full back yet.
It's good to have choice however. For example every time Youngs has a bit of a quiet game, Care comes on and snaps at his heels. Could see Care in for the next game, if only to keep them both eager.

I have never been a fan of Brown, he gives it his all, but Daly will look for space and use ball more wisely, and as a last line of defence kicking the ball out it will go miles.
Farrell for me is the one person I feel I was wrong about, I think he has improved far more than just being a good kicker. His distribution skills and awareness are growing with the team. Long as he can control the angry kid inside he can be an England great for years to come.
As for other match, well the Irish conned the ref for majority of the game at scrum time so I am glad Scotland got the win they deserved. I hope this is now a chance for them to gain belief in themselves and go forward. Much as I want to see my Wales beat Scotland, it gave me no pleasure sitting amongst the scots a couple of years ago and Hogg was rightly red carded and they were then Hammered. Some of the Scottish supporters are best guys in the world but I feel for them as Wales were like that in the 80's always snatching defeat from the jaws if victory.
