Rugby Summer Nations Series (Spoilers)

England have a chance to avenge last weeks loss to Wales today with another clash against them at Twickenham.

France also have a chance to avenge last weeks loss against Scotland.

Games today

England vs Wales KO - 17:30
France vs Scotland KO - 20:05

Both games are live on Amazon Prime Video so you can watch games from start if you miss any of it.
 
Just getting worse for England. Down to 12 men after 3 yellow cards in quick succession. Wouldn't be surprised if Farrell's yellow is upgraded to red and he misses start of world cup.

As i speak, Wales just scored a try and now lead 17-9.

And as soon as Wales score, 12 man England score.
 
Farrell will almost certainly miss the opener against Argentina if not more. How many times have we seen this from him. On this performance (and last week) England will be fighting for 2nd place in the group,
 
Not sure how to take yesterday. Another woeful performance and both teams were poor. Bit we did fight back with 12 men which is pretty remarkable. If it was the six nations it would have been great, celebrating a win over Wales. But as a world cup warm up? Nah.

Surprisingly not.

The red card is not being upheld and he's missing no matches.
 
Massive surprise on this over here.

He does it every time, leads with the shoulder and doesn’t even try to wrap his arms. That tackle could have been quite serious for the Welsh guy.

As you say, people will and are saying that as it’s England it’s OK
 
I know I always say you shouldn't judge the incident on whay happens to the fouled player but, the fact Basham failed his HIA speaks to how bad the tackle was
 
This is bad news for England. They had been handed a 'get out of Farrel-jail free' card and have had it snatched away. Unimaginative, pedestrian, play-by-numbers rugby will now ensue.

I agree, but it's more to do with the elite player agreement and monitoring England players game time. If a player is in the Top 14 then they are outside of that agreement. It does need looking at though.
