Wales a steal to win at 4.5/1, that’s worth £20

Quite funny that Charlie Morgan wrote an article about how Tom
Willis's relative lack of yards from his carries showed how much
important work he was doing only for him to get dropped
Weird selections. Don't think we needed another 7 in the mix,
why Ted Hill got dropped is beyond me.
If we lose a back 3 player early on then it will be absolute
carnage trying to make a sensible backline

Last time England played at Cardiff against Wales before a Lions
tour to Australia was in 2013. The result-30points by Wales-3
England!

That was the one where Steve Walsh allowed Adam Jones to
repeatedly bind on the arm and break Marler's bind, and wouldn't
allow Robshaw to talk to him to point it out. This wasn't some
subtle dark arts stuff, it was blatant illegal binding that the
AR should have been calling every time. I imagine Wales expected
to be able to get away with it once or twice, and were delighted
that they got away with it all game.
England were basically starved of primary possession because the
officiating team declined to do their job.

game and Sam did!

And the year before, England were 7 points behind in the dying
seconds with a lineout on the Welsh 5m.
Walsh called advantage when Wales collapsed England's maul on
their tryline. That should have been a penalty try in its own
right, but he then refused to come back for advantage when
England tried a crossfield kick that didn't come off because in
his eyes the attempted kick was advantage over.
At the time my son was unhappy with my refereeing of his games,
but off the back of that he labelled me only the second worst
referee in the world

I know dyed in the wool, English hating, welshies who believe
Walsh was paid off/stoned that day and that says everything.
England did get a lot wrong but some of those decisions were
appalling and refusing to speak to the Captain was diabolical.

Once Wales knew that they could always get possession from a
scrum, they also knew that they could knock on or otherise
commit scrum offences with impunity. Meanwhile any mistake from
England would be almost guaranteed to result in a lineout to
Wales deep in English territory.
England did a lot wrong - but those scrum decisions effectively
gave them close to zero chance to do anything right.

Walsh was bad but England where poor- too many mistakes and
loosing contact and missed tackle by mike Brown for first
try-playing out of position on wing-not a good omen!
When England where 17-3 down instead of going for the
corner-Owen Farrel tried to kick a penalty and missed-again. Too
many crash balls down the middle by backs
Wales where a good team and won the championship-different on
Saturday! Banana skin for England though.
