It was a bit of a rout and the All Blacks weren't even in top gear

I thought this was appropriate, but it tastes worse than a one pointer. It might be ok for stewing some pears.

Hard game to watch and heart breaking but quite a few of these knock out games have been. Given the form coming into this England have nothing to be ashamed off, they can hold their heads high and be proud they gave it a go

I genuinely made one of my fingers bleed, having run out of nails watching the second half! SA did very well to steal it back, trying everything they could, England needed to go for that needed drop kick a couple of minutes earlier, they might have done it. Still there is always next time. So third or fourth and does anyone care?

We are such a good side when we play without fear.

None of my friends or neighbours here are talking to me today, can't think why not

It was quite the performance. I’m still not absolutely sure if England just played brilliantly, Ireland underperformed or a bit of both? Suffice to say, I’m delighted to be able to say ‘I was there!’

England outplayed them. That simple. First one I’ve missed since ‘99 but good to watch in a Welsh rugby club being the only Englishman.

Let’s hope they can back it up next week in Lyon. I really hope Marcus Smith is given the opportunity to start.
