@rugby non stop Sanjay these first 20 minutes

@rugby Dewi Lake subbing himself off, maybe a knee knock?

@rugby Henry Arundell gets a yellow for not retreating and tackling Liam Williams. Jack van Poortvliet off injured with an ankle issue, Ben Youngs replaces. Wales a man up and seemingly a bit more engaged with 7 or 8 minutes to go in the half

@rugby uninspiring first half, England head in with a two penalty lead and a man down. England has performed very well in defence, not so much on finishing at the other end of the field, lots of errors.

Cymru had a couple of lineouts go awry, mauls need work.

Ref seems a bit all over the place, failing to give Cymru the advantage they were playing and instead giving a penalty to England.

Cymru had a very strong second half last week, let's see if that's the game plan when we head back out.

@rugby ho hum. 40 seconds in and ref lives up to his word and cards Tommy R after his warning to Wales in the first that any more penalties would result in a yellow.

@rugby Owen Williams takes his sweet sweet time to kick a penalty, then scrapes it in off the right post bounce.

Gats has gone from not smiling to very much not smiling.

@rugby that's a red, right?

@rugby hmm, England going down to 12? Nasty hit from Farrell being reviewed

@rugby Farrell off and being reviewed for a red. 15v12 now. #LLOvCYM #ENGvWAL

@rugby it's all a bit silly buggers at this point. England find a way to score a try despite being three men down. It's converted. Plenty of time to go.

The yellow is upgraded to a red for Farrell.

Whichever team loses this it will be remembered a long while. Either for an outstanding number of penalty actions leading to three men off, or losing to a 12 man team.

I honestly couldn't tell you which I think is more likely.

Fun fact: both starting captains are off at this point.

@rugby Itoje pulls an Itoje and it's all over. Good grief what a silly day.

@gavin57 @jaz @rugby should be

@gavin57 @rugby

@waywardpythonttv the first half was a paint by numbers borefest, the second half was a disjointed hodge podge of silliness. England scored a try with 12 on the field. Tsk tsk.

@jaz this is like when the French pipped us to the 6N when they were a man down. It’s almost as if we can’t handle a situation where we have the upper hand
