Why is Farrel desserting his home town team for big money alright and Aston doing it a crime. The wearing the shirt was blown up out of all proportion. Good Luck to the lad he earns good money and does not have to put in half the work that he would have to do in league.

Yeah it baffles me that they brought Tindall off. He was one of the only players making proper ground. England were on a roll and were building attacking play that was fairly interesting to watch, hhhmm

english rugby union is a shambles. Martin Johnson has no coaching experience ever. fantastic player in his day but how can the national coach have no coaching experience. Its a joke. Its like putting Kelvin Skerritt in charge of england

Would agree with most of that - England played better this week but you bet Borthwick will be back providing he's fit for the Autumn Internationals.

I didnt.

I put it on for a bit, lost interest, did other stuff, then tried again.

HTH.

A fine debut. Had a rush of blood once or twice but never overawed by the opposition or the occasion. 7

From RugbyRugby.com
Chris Ashton:
Looked good in the starting side and showed that he might develop into a dangerous attacking force on the wing at international level. Had one great opportunity to score where his chip kick was put in too early and might have backed himself better in his one-on-one with Clement Poitrenaud.
