England U20s champions with a 31-45 victory in Pau. Nice one chaps.

Steward is the one to bring in.
Put him opposite France's little winger in the scrum cap.

Really hope they don't start with Daly, Cadan Murley, Ollie Hassell Collins, Tom Roebuck and Adam Radwan to name a few who should start ahead of him.

That meeting would take several hours if all contentious laws were discussed!

Referees / captains / coaches have a pre-match meet to agree on how contentious laws will be refereed - then it's up to everyone to stick to those agreed interpretations

I’m quite sure that the law states that once the ball is at the No8 feet it must be played unless moving forward. So I’m fairly sure had France been moving he would not have told them to play away

Isn't anyone else mildly concerned about referees deciding how a team should play when they are completely within the law? Isn't the referee's job to enforce the laws as they stand and nothing more? That's not to say that I am not in favour of ending endless scrum resets and teams winning the World Cup on the back of a few dubious scrum penalties - but the correct way to do that is by World Rugby making some law changes.
Crooked feeds plus the scrummage being no more than a way to restart the game as quickly as possible....isn't there another game that decided to do that a long time ago?

That's normal and has been for years. He is 1 of the few refs who tells teams to use the ball once they've won the scrum. Sadly, Wales just don't have the team to take on the top teams right now. Hopefully in a year or 2...

Interesting how he didn't ref the feed though, something that the powers that be just ignore

Interesting how Luke Pearce refereed the scrum on Sunday. It prevented France playing for penalties which I am all for. Just tell them to use it and get on with the game. But it will need consistency across the board....

You're right that was a great day of rugby. I certainly didn't give England (or Italy) a chance and they proved me wrong, fair play to both.
It's one reason the 6 Nations is such a great competition. After a few lacklustre games, it always delivers at some point, with any side able to beat another on their day...a bit like Nat 1 really.

Two fantastic games yesterday, especially for the neutrals.
Fingers crossed for more of the same today. It could honestly go either way.

The desire, physicality, and no little bit of skill was back against a really class side. Would love to have heard the "conversation " in the tunnel at half time though. Roll on next week.
