I completely agree, as a Welshman!

Neither team deserved to win today, however, through the English performance, I could have expected more but Flood and Hodgson are just far too predictable in every situation they are in. England NEED a fly-half with confidence to take the points in every situation near the opposition posts, through runs, passes or dropgoals.

Wales were poor on lineouts today, and their discipline was atrocious! I was thoroughly disappointed after today to be honest.

I thought the problems were more then individual. Seems to me that the direction and game plan was way off. England were trucking it and to be fair thats something i have not associated with England in the last couple of years.

Even Johnson said it before the game when talking to Greenwood. "were a running team" but that certainly did not show.

So seems to me the game plan and style of play is not yet clear in the minds of the players. I would not be so quick to throw individuals under the bus.

theyre probably keeping it up their sleeve.

remember wales in 03 ? didnt throw a pass until the new zealand game, and suddenly they were the harlem globetrotters.
