Just wondering, how difficult is it to spot forwards in front of an up and under that don’t retreat?
Too difficult for the Scottish cockney on the whistle, it seems.

England back in it with two early tries in second half. 12-16 with 52 min gone.
How on earth didn't their 9 see at least a YC for that dangerous tip tackle on our 15 after 35 min?

It’s certainly a mystery to all neutrals, or non-rosbifs

The accent seems to be Southern hemisphere but it seems he’s a southern hemisphere softie as far as head contact goes. Congratulations to him, he wants to give a red card and finally the his SH TMO agrees.

Congrats to Luke Davidson, the English U20 10.
He was most apologetic. It was totally unintentional, however, thems the laws and interpretations.

This ref team really don't want to give England cards, do they?

Next time an SH ref says « each time there’s a break in play one of your players goes down for treatment » I’d applaud the captain for saying « Just trying to help with any jet lag you might have, sir »

Too many poor kicks by Wales in second half - made it easy for them.
That scrum 5, though - their man tackled ours who was on the ground, around the neck. No pen.

Too bad... their power game plus too many errors by Wales in second half cost us that game. 19-16 FT.
CLJ overall very good, but overdid the low kicks which were charged down far too often - he should have cut those out. Basically, a very good team effort. As usual, England fielded a bigger, heavier team and it paid in the end. Their 9, Lukas Friday, deserved MOM. he also deserved a YC in the first half - but didn't get one!

Credit where credit's due, good comeback by England with 14 men. Slight naivety with some of our kicking, didn't have an answer to their driving maul. Very good effort by our young lads overall, real dog and some good skills.

Mixed bag from CLJ. He needs to work on his kicking, far too many times he got charged down or it went straight to an English player. He lacked composure at times he’s 18 so the experience isn’t there yet.

CLJ had a mix bag of a game IMO,to many charged down kicks but got away with a few,I know he’s only 18 but needed to kick the ball off the field when kicking long as Englands lineout wasn’t great especially when England lost their 10..On a plus side he seems to try things and not shy to go long for touch.

A bit harsh. I though he was overall v good. Better than the 13 & 15 who cost us opportunities and points.CLJ is only 18 and improving every game. |

Great to see CLJ trying stuff.
Provided he’s a strong character and keen to progress, he’ll learn what works and what doesn’t and adjust accordingly. Without any prior knowledge, I’d bet he is and will be a positive character; a force for good in this less than ideal backdrop we find ourselves in. Now if the national team’s hookers could follow his example, Saturday evenings would be calmer. Edited by Eastern outpost - 06 February 2026 at 10:00pm |

Brave effort but disappointing last 20 mins. Despite playing against 14, Wales tactics seemed to be just trying to hold onto a slender 4 point lead. When Wales did attack, not surprisingly they found gaps, but the composure to finish them off wasn't there.
And what was the 9 doing in the last minute as Wales were attacking from their own line and making good progress, he then kicks the ball away and directly into touch? CLJ looks promising but made errors, he should have been taken off after his head blow, he looked shattered. |
