If England do go on to win the Six Nations, the southern hemisphere will rightly point and laugh at the standard of northern hemisphere rugby. This was an entertaining enough game and credit has to go to both sides for trying to play fast and open rugby.
Any idiot can play fast and open rugby though. The tackling from both sides was school kid level and England especially were about as composed as Bart and Milhouse on a squishee bender. They top the table on points difference, but the 20-odd points they missed out on here are likely to come back to hurt them next Saturday given the poor opposition their title rivals face.
Tell you what, let’s forget this match. It was terrible. Next weekend we have a triple-header (my hands!) that will decide the destination of the title one of four ways on the final day. You can’t ask for more than that, can you?
