Haha, my bad. In fairness SB and EJ are basically the same
person (in approach, not annoying media outbursts)

Willis shone, Dombrandt stood out, Steward was having a good

Watson also stood out.Farrell kicked and tackled a lot and Van
Poortfleet box-kicked a lot.

Tuilagi was genuinely atrocious...
Absolutely agree on slade, but that's the case every game.
Farrell missed a hatful.

Keeping men on the bench suggests you are happy with the result.
Probably right.

I can't remember the exact ratio but as RR alluded to, Farrell's
tackle stats were awful, along with his kicking stats which were
around 55% for the whole 6N. If that's any other England
fly-half then they would be crucified but St. Owen gets another
free pass from a fawning media. Such mediocrity wouldn't be
suffered in most (all?) other tier 1 countries. It explains why
England are so 2nd rate and probably will be for another 4-5
years.
