It was 32-12 after around 45-50 minutes and England ripped them apart in the last half an hour. Wales have a team full of kids and only a handful of full-time players.

We could curse the International game or praise England's preparation and the fact they looked very strong in that second half. Maybe the SA trip and getting the side together throughout the season is working? I think the Exiles games will also become one-sided affairs within a couple of years.

Geez, what about the bonus of England spending time in camps and preparing together? Maybe we will be a lot better for it regardless in 12 months time.

Time to bring back Great Britain and proper touring sides.

What does that have to do with anything?

An England team playing any nation is better than not playing at all

England would have benefited more from playing the Knights.


However, this will have benefited Wales and it's games like this, plus the increased investment in lower levels, that will see them produce better players and get a stronger and more competitive team.

I think we learnt-

Wales try their nuts off and look well set up but they lack quality. Is it better for them to go in to the world cup with an inexperienced side and try to progress or to bring in a few Aussies/English players with Welsh heritage?

England have some exciting young players coming through especially in the outside backs.

Gaz Hock is the best running forward in superleague but is lazy in defence especially in lesser games.

Josh Charnley and Zak Hardaker like fist pumping.

Think that's about it.

We smashed the Taffs today. What a performance!! Wow!! Massive domination by England. This proves beyond belief that the franchise system is working and that MacNamara is probably the best International coach in the game.

Bring on the Aussies and the World Cup. We are goddamn ready!!

Engeeeeerlaaaaand!!!!

We were in a no win situation. We put ourselves in a no win situation.

England rightly battered Wales. Well we should. England is the major heartland around here, and Wales is developing with a long way to go. So we hammered them into submission.

It was a farce of a scoreline for an international.

If England failed to do this, it's a farce of a performance from England because of the relative strength of the squads. A close game isn't competitive, it's dire. Either way, its a farce, and we get very very little from it.

The fans knew it which is why so few turned up and all in all, it was not exactly a positive experience.

Scratch what I said this is the right opinion.

We beat, what, fifth in the world today? Imagine what we'll do to the aussies. Even if we only get half the points we'll still embarrass 'em. Engurlaaaaaand!

The crowd was an embarrasment on bbc1. Looked a joke for international game. Not been really pushed though by the RFL. Could have held at a venue and promoted the game to get at least 10k there.

The backs looked good. The team seemed to go ok but it's hard to judge really against the opposition

We'll now learn how many people will be prepared to pay and watch England v France two weeks running ..........

Hardly a surprise that there are mentions of a low attendance . I wasn't even aware that England were playing today , or I would have been there . I got home from work , turned on the telly and was surprised to see the end of the commentary on an England RL match ..

If people such as myself are not aware that there is a game on what hope is there of drawing in new fans/spectators/supporters to our game ?

NZ asked england to tour and the RFL refused!

England should have went to NZ instead of this joke tournament.

It's certainly another RFL success story! Just not Been publicised at all. The fact sky are not showing it as well meant a lot less advertising of the tourniment at the end of season.
