#LLOvCYM #ENGvWAL #ANGvGAL #Rugby @ #Twickenham 5:30pm kick-off
Plenty of changes from last week, if #England lose they will be 9th in the world, their lowest ranking ever. But with 11 changes to the starting lineup it will be a very different set of Roses on the field. Biggar is on the bench as Owen Williams starts at flyhalf, and NZ U20 expat Plumtree gets his second start for #Cymru with Dewi Lake as this week's captain

@rugby@a.gup.pe Dewi Lake subbing himself off, maybe a knee knock?
@rugby@a.gup.pe 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@a.gup.pe 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@a.gup.pe 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@a.gup.pe 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@a.gup.pe that's a red, right?
@rugby@a.gup.pe so a yellow and a penalty try, England down to 13.
20 minutes to go.
Messy all around to be fair.
@rugby@a.gup.pe hmm, England going down to 12? Nasty hit from Farrell being reviewed
@rugby@a.gup.pe fifth yellow card, we are now 14v14, 1 point difference, England have a kick at the posts and there's 5 minutes to go.
Truly all over the shop.
@rugby@a.gup.pe Itoje pulls an Itoje and it's all over. Good grief what a silly day.
@jaz @rugby@a.gup.pe I just saw the result. How tf did we lose to a 12-man team?
@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
