Much better second-half by England but very unconvincing. Farrell failing to beat the penalty shot clock for a routine kick is unforgivable.

If the game was to be decided on fan numbers, Ireland would have it in the bag.

Congratulations England on a sparkling performance. Stunning win over the mighty Samoa. A great confidence booster.

None of the 2019 starters still in the team are better now, a few possibly at same standard most in decline due to age or form. Some of them are IMO unselectable or at least nowhere near a 23 and this includes Youngs, May, Vunipola, Daly and most of all Farrell, who offers little in attack (butchered a pass with numbers on the overlap in 2nd half) and whose kicking has been poor for while, and kicks will need to be made to get through the knockout phase.

Genge only one who has improved but he was not a 2019 starter and he’s been v quiet during the tournament.

I did a blog after our near miss in the rugby in 2019 and our win in the cricket World Cup, about trying to repeat. simonssportingblog.wordpress.com

It looked like we had a youthful team that would stand us in good stead for this years World Cup. Agreed, lots of regression.

Scotland looking a bit lateral at the moment.

Lol at Cheg.

Scotland should have kicked that penalty, if there was ever a game to grab any scoring opportunity this is it.
