We're not that bothered  bull sh**

Well I'm not, it's a group game and there's a long way to go. This group is far from over

England got what they deserved .. for the first 20 mins , they ran the ball at every opportunity and it tore the Welsh apart.. 2nd half same old cautious/boring play reappeared .. allowing the Welsh to gain forward momentum and confidence .. despite losing a good chunk of their side they deservingly won .. also congrats to whoever decided to take of Burgess and replace him with Ford it coincided with a 10 point swing to Wales.

I could go on a long rant about how England haven't won anything of significance under Lancaster, or how his selection and substitution policies are highly dubious, or how ridiculous it is that he and the rest of the coaching team were given long contract extensions before this tournament even kicked off, but I suspect I'd just be stating the obvious.

They basically through that game away. Terrible discipline yet again from the usual suspects. Two defensive centres who made very little impact going forward, one of whom very nearly cost a try and one of whom did. Can we just ask Clive Woodward to stop doing punditry and reapply for the coaching job? Christ, even Johnson managed a Six Nations title during his reign...

Well as a neutral I thoroughly enjoyed that game!!

Basically England doesn't have a team good enough to win the world cup, in 2003 we did and we won it.
Sadly we are far from winning it this year, as are other teams that beat us today, but let them have their moment of glory, before they get knocked out again.

Flawless performance from Biggar. Can't believe we won. I'll be getting the call up given the injury count however.

The group may be far from over, but if England are that indisciplined and play as poorly as they did in the 2nd half against Uruguay, it may as well be.
